Another thing is that slim-fitting t-shirts usually huge your body throughout. Hugging your chest and arms is fine, but once it starts being slim around your waist/hips, you’re just setting your thighs up to be the center of attention. Yes, show the world you have a huge drop from your chest to waist. But at the cost of showing everyone your reverse-pyramid from your waist to hips/thighs.
I think regular fit tees work better for Mr. AG. It fits in line with your shoulders better, giving the illusion that you’re wider up top. And if you’ve got some decent size on you, it’s going to hug your chest and biceps already but give you some room in the body and hips. Also, having your tees a bit longer will help hide the initial slope of your thighs going outwards.

>>6461537
Now onto the rise of the pants/length of the crotch. I think drop crotch (even a slight drop crotch or just a higher rise with some sagging) is far superior to a normal rise for someone who wants to mask his thighs. A normal rise is going to show the tightness throughout your thighs with nothing to hide it (unless you have a dress on). A drop crotch will give you more room in the seat/thighs and it your thighs won’t look like sausages being stuffed into casings.

>>6461530
Next, let’s move onto your pants/jeans. A lot of people will say that straight-leg pants are best for guys with muscular thighs. This flies in the face of what I feel is best for someone that wants to hide their gigantic thighs. Straight-leg pants are going to be pretty slim in the thighs for an athletic guy to begin with and the lack of a hard taper just makes his legs look stumpy (figure below). A hard taper below the knees in conjunction with minimal stacking will make your legs seem slimmer and longer.

>>6461540
This last part is just putting A and B together. What most people think Mr. AG should wear is a slim-fit tee to show off his muscles and straight-leg pants/jeans due to muscular legs.

All valid points. I've been hitting the gym lately so I really appreciate this thread.

cheers

>>6461550
I argue that a regular fit, longer tee that has wider shoulder seams will help hide his hips/thighs and that a drop crotch with a hard taper below the knees will give the illusion that his thighs are gigantic.

>>6461553
I know this just covers your basic tee and pants, but if you’re smart about it, you can apply it to most garments.
Some of you guys might not agree with this assessment. That’s fine.

In essence: guys, stop wearing straight legs, not gonna work. Also, stop wearing H&M slim fit bullshit

>>6461561
post a pic of what you consider dropcrotch, im really confused right now.

This is how ridiculous your large legs look in "slim fit" pants.

Dressing slimmer doesn't necessarily make you look "slim"

>>6461583
tfw my legs look like

what should i wear :(

>>6461574
>>6461600


Another way of saying "high rise" jeans. Plus, if you have bigger butt from squatting, you're gonna want the higher rise to pull your pants up - so you don't look like you're sagging.

B^)

Great article, you should post this on the wiki

>>6461723
lol

>>6461723

working out truly is modern couture

>>6461583
whats wrong with fit?

>>6461812
YES. This. Why isn't there a proper "How Clothes Should Fit" page on the Wiki yet?

>>6461872

because there are many ways to wear clothes

>>6461561

That bald head tho and grey skin are sure not helping

Someone else post this on the wiki. I'm too lazy haha

>no slim fit

FUCK that makes so much sense now! I've been fucking up my entire closet this time, DAMMIT.

>>6461684
So cop high rise pants to counter my athletic legs? Legit.

You should also consider what's fashionable
I like the way slim fit tee look, but bigger tees are what to wear right. And my thighs are kind of big, but skinny jeans still look good
I just can't seem to pull of boots with skinny jeans without looking stumpy

Good thread.
Thank you OP.

>>6462390
same with the boots issue and it happens to me when stacking too

threw this fit on on purpose.
pants are dockers alph... what do I do?!

>>6462545
To my untrained eyes, you look pretty good, bro. I'll have to look into a pair of those for mein carroty legs.

having muscles doesn't mean you're athletic top lel

bring back knickerbockers

This is the stupidest shit I've ever read. OP, go back to drinking your scotch and tipping your fedora or whatever it is you did before you found out about weight lifting.

>>>/fit/

h-help me /fa/

>>6461839
are you serious

>>6462616
Feel free to disagree.
I find buff men in clothes meant for skinny people ridiculous

>>6462691
Humor him.

>>6462708
the jeans are way too tight on him, he probably read on some infograph that slim fit is always better and tried to squeeze into a pair of jeans that are 3 sizes too small

don't wear skinny jeans if you don't have skinny genes

>>6462651
pants too big for you, size down
they should taper more at your ankles too.
also too long but that's an easy fix

shirt's just ugly sorry, get something less bright and without a logo smack in the center

>>6461839
the thighs

do I do it right?

>>6462745
bit too large below the knees, try to taper

>>6462745
can you take a normal picture

>>6462726
haha just pj's. You sure about sizing down? It is true fit already.

>>6462799
they look slightly too baggy at the thighs, but if you size down and they get skin tight then don't

it's the below-knee area that's the real issue

>>6462790
what's unnormal about that pic?

>>6462865
can't see full body and the mirror is segmenting you making it harder to look at your proportions

>>6461540
This This This I cannot stress that enough. I personally recommend Robert Geller jeans because most of his jeans have a slight drop crotch that's far enough to be slightly noticeable but conservative enough to not look like you shit yourself. As for the T shirts I believe that on everyone T shirts shouldn't be tight unless they are henley shirts. You always want a henley to be tight when the buttons are closed because if you're a good dresser you'll keep the buttons unbuttoned to show off your chest. IMO henley is the the sexiest shirt in fashion right now (short sleeve)

>>6462918
what about long sleeve rolled up?
and ocbds?

post an example of a good Mr. AG fit.

>>6462948
You should be able to derive one from the information presented.

Cheers OP I need to redo my entire fucking closet now...

>>6462948

Holy shit, that's a good find. Thanks anon

b-but...its $200...

>>6462992
your jeans are WAY too baggy especially from the knee down

>>6462918
Hey anon, can you post any alternatives? Anything on chinos and cords as well?

>>6463017
Me in my 514s, should I go ahead and toss 'em for a different cut anon?

>>6463064
also wondering this
how are the 508's

>>6463064
You should get something with more taper.

>>6463089
they're ok. Taper is a bit harsh
>>6463099

would you recc 513s?

>>6462918
Oh yea another reason I like Geller jeans is that they're always tapered at the bottom (6-7 inch leg opening) but have big thigh space (11-12 inches not including stretch)
>>6462943
>>6463056

Sorry haha I'm not OP but I'll definitely try my best to help out.
>>6462943
If you have a long sleeve henley I personally think it's cool to bunch the sleeves up to show my forearms. I don't really roll sleeves unless it's a button down. AS for OCBDs I almost religiously hate shirts with a button down collar, but if they fit well then it's alright by me. I'd personally say that you should bunch the sleeves up past your elbow for a henley or long sleeve shirt but for a button down shirt I personally think rolling past the elbow looks stupid. It makes you look like a goofy ass kid from the 50s who has a stick up their ass. That's just me though. I think the shirt should be rolled to right past the elbows. Again for button up shirts leave a button or 2 undone to show the chest man.
>>6463056
I'm not particularly familiar with cords and pants but Incotex makes a good pair of chinos/ khakis so to speak. At least that's what my pair is. Of course you'll have to get them taken in in the waist but the fit other than that is spot on (again at least on my pair). As for alternatives what alternatives are you looking for? In terms of Shirts and shoes and what not?

>>6463133
yeah I've been a dumbass and have bought chinos from express and h&m. And like other anons that followed the sticky I bought 514s looking like the other anon with 514s in this thread

essentially, where can I buy affordable /college budget pants chinos or whatever for bigger quads?

you said incotex how much tailoring did you have to do?

also, doesn't having tapered ankles with big shoulders give you a massive upside down pyramid look?

>>6463161
I don't believe in that whole stupid upside-down pyramid bullshit. Besides there's nothing I can do about it since I have extremely broad shoulders and a small waist.

As for incotex and really all clothing in general. Buy on sale. ALWAYS buy on sale. In fact I think Fransboon is having a sale now. As for the quality of incotex these things are world class pants in my opinion. Too bad you missed the mr.porter sale you probably could've scored for cheap (I got mine from there a year or 2 ago for 80 bucks from 400ish). What I recommend is not ignoring your core when you bulk so that you build an upside-down trapezoid shape. In fact you should have days for body weight exercises where you focus on your core. As for the legs just make sure that the taper isn't ridiculous. I recommend in the range of 6.5-7.5 anything smaller is feminine anything larger is too old school. Again sorry I can't really help you with khakis I only own 1 pair and I hardly ever use them (I'm an all black everything kind of guy).

>>6461530
I've got huge calfs and big thighs, and the best pants that have fit me are Regular Fit Old Navy jeans. Not perfect, but with my wide hips, big butt, big thighs, and huge calves, they are as close as it gets for me.

>>6463210
I will heed your advice sir. Much appreciated

>>6463241
>Old Navy
Well, I guess it'll buy me time to save up. Thanks

>>6463133
>Incotex

http://www.gilt.com/brand/incotex

You sure anon? they look skinny to meq

>>6463476
>http://www.gilt.com/brand/incotex

Like I said they fit perfectly for me and I have almost 12" thighs. Perfect combo of slim but swole.

>>6463476
Oh by the way they fit true to size. So if you're a size 32 waist you get a size 32 pants. In all honestly if you're that worried I'd size up 1 just to be sure.

Someone archive this shit I feel a lot more /fit/ people are gonna need this thread

>>6463990
>12 inch thighs
>big

>>6464419
>hurr durr lets all do drop-crotches like some retards
Yes, such a great thread

>>6463990

Are you sure you don't mean 24' around? Because my forearms are 14' and 12' legs would be sad lel

Please post this on the sticky wiki thing, it would be available to everyone at any time

>>6465080
whats so great about his advice? dropcrotch will look completely ridicolous on 99 out of 100 people.

>>6465083
He ignores certain obvious points so some think it's great due the lack of contradictory claims.

Lets start with the taper.

What he fails to realize is that a shirt that leaves alot of room makes the person look fat rather than muscular. Sure you can see the shoulder and forarms but not much else.

With a tighter fit, the musculature appears as more defined and more prominent leading to an image of the wearer as fit rather than just big (and fat).

Where does Mr. AG shop if he is quite tall?

How do I get slimmer legs pls help fa,I look ottermode waiste up, and bear mode down there.
My lifts refelct this too.

WTF do I do

>>6465122
just stop doing leg workouts.

>>6465122
what he said >>6465130

Massive thunder thighs never look good... If you're going for that "lean athletic ottermode" look just work your upper body and for your legs just go for a run or a bike ride or something...

Your legs won't be massive but they'll be DEFINED

>>6465068
>>6465073
12 inch thighs refers to the thigh measurement measuring across. In fact I actually have 22.5 inch thighs but I haven't been to the gym for 2 weeks. But when I get back it's 12 inches or 24 inches around for all you sticklers.

As for drop crotch I think that it only looks good if it's a SLIGHT drop crotch. Not full blown rick owens shit my self drop. Also guys check out alexander wangs chino pants. They're blue and black and they look amazing (slight drop crotch but they look cool) In fact alexander wang is a swole dudes best friend. All his fits are cut generously but also sized in a way that allows you to go for a slim silhouette or a big silhouette.

>>6465152
Don't do that. Please don't be one of those people I make fun of because he only works his upper body but he looks like he has bitch thighs/legs anon.

>>6465200
big legs dont look good, thats just how it is. defined legs yes, but not big legs.
why dont you just go back to fit?

>>6465200
hi mr tyrannosaurus i thought you went extinct

>>6461527
Mr. Athletic Guy should eat clen and tren hard and for a v-taper along with a massive core

>>6465130
don't stop doing leg workouts

Just stop training for hypertrophy in the legs

Do sets of less than 5 reps with higher weight rather than in the ~10 rep range

>>6465271
Don't get mad because everyone laughs when you take off your pants and look like a bitch from the waist down.

>>6465443
i dread the ceremonial thigh inspection day where each persons pants are taken off and their legs are judged for muscle mass, one of the worst mating rituals, i wish women cared about something besides how many inches my thighs were around

>>6465206
I'm just trying to help, don't act like a little bitch to me. Like I said, no stunning female finds a man with all upper body and nothing else attractive. What they do is constantly question whether or not you're retarded because you look so off balanced. In all honesty though, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You kenyan long distance running motherfucker. No bitch finds it attractive when her legs are bigger than her mans. You goofy ass fuck.

>>6465443
>Lifting for men on /fit/

If you want to lift to get compliments off closet homos on a weight lifting board go ahead and get your thunder thighs.

Huge legs reporting. Denim and other pants are findable but shorts are pain in the ass.

>>6465455
>no stunning female finds a man with all upper body and nothing else attractive.
>this is what /fit/ has brainwashed people into believing

>>6465443
>look like a bitch from the waist down
dont know about you but i have a penis not a vagina

so therefore i dont need to worry about "looking like a bitch from the waist down"

>>6465477
But your micropenis is blocked by your child bearing thighs. So yes you do look like a bitch from the waist down.

Anyway guys and this faggot what I'm trying to say is don't be one of those people who works their upper body only. Running will not "tone your legs" as some idiots on FA would have you believe. All you have to do is work out and do body weight exercises. There is no excuse to have legs smaller than your girlfriends. This isn't fit talking, this is simply the truth. It's not attractive.

>>6465472
I guess the abercombie and fitch models just get really lucky then.

if anything your penis is blocked by child bearing thighs mr T-Rex

nobody puts this much emphasis on legs/thighs in real life and guaranteed your friends will never talk about your "legs being smaller than a girls"

>>6465495
Not the guy but "hurr do squatz" is not just /fit/ talk, but pretty much any even remotely fittness, training, or sport related community ever.

>>6465495

I'm not even going to try and reason the stupidity out of you. I'm glad I was at least able to help a couple people find good fitting pants. No wonder no one on this board has a girl friend. Because girls don't need another bitch to take care of.

I actually do talk to my female friends about it. They find men with rail thin legs to be very unattractive. Also I don't think my legs are big enough to block my penis. Out of curiosity can you post a fit pic or something so I can know if you actually know what the fuck you're talking about Mr. Abercrombie?

>tfw girls only care about the face

You're all faggots. This thread was about being able to hide thunder thighs.

Of course you can wear a shirt that flatters the v taper, but if you have thunder thighs your v taper is ruined. Therefore regular fit shirts are default choice.

>>6468532
I just tested out how my thighs looked in different "drops" with my shorts.

Holy fuck I never thought about it.
