Title: Why Do Bodybuilders Never Wear Clothes That Fit Them?
Post by: NickEdge779 on June 29, 2016, 12:03:39 PM
You either see them wearing extremely tight 2 sizes too small shirts, or you see them wearing extremely loose fitting shirts or hoodies that completely cover their physiques. You never see them wear clothes that fit them normally. Or the even dumber look, the hoodie tank top. Do bodybuilders realize how stupid they look in this shit?

but it's hard to find clothes that fit when you are narrow with monster arms

you either look like a spandex fuck boy or like a mail bag

It's normally what's available, even xxxl shirts normally aren't all that bigger in the shoulder and arms yet massive in the gut area, they have to go rediculously large in size to get a tshirt big enough to comfortably cover big chest arms and delts

I have XL arms, chest and shoulders and a medium waist. So, to echo Halo's comment, I can either wear a shirt that fits my arms decently and looks like a mumu around my middle, or I wear a L shirt which is stretched up top and looks OK at the waist. I refuse to tailor t-shirts and polos.

I blame the mediocrity of men today. They all look like absolute garbage and I have to fit inside of little boxes that they create.

Why would you "refuse" to have your clothes tailored? Even small towns have tailors, or at least seamstresses, that can taper your dress shirts and jackets at the waist. I buy what fits up top, and they cut out the excess at the waist. Their prices are reasonable, in my opinion. Any kind of pullover is going to be hard , if not impossible, to put on if is tapered at the waist.

The traditional drop (difference between waist and chest) on a suit is 6", athletic cut is only 8". Even with newer brands that account for gym rats, the drop isn't much better, so you're going to have to tailor the stuff. Most bodybuilders are broke, cheap, or just generally tacky, so you aren't going to get many doing that.

This is interesting information. Fit people including many bodybuilders have a 10" or better drop from chest to waist. Mine is 12" and my physique is nothing special. Obviously suits with only a 6 or 8 inch drop are going to look sloppy.

1.) bbers just look like bloated fat bastards in suits
2.) clothes in hard to find off the rack when your a short, big guy
3.) can't buy tailored or custom clothes because they blow all their money on roids
4.) do it to look like a "freak" in public and that is just sad

I've got a dude who gets my clothes for me. I'm not what I once was, but still, any XXL shirt I put on looks like a fucking trash bag unless I get a certain cut. Once I find one, I buy a few of those shirts.

Agreed, this is what I do as well for the day to day T-shirts and dress shirts. Either this, or have them fully tailored. Jeans I can usually find something not too ill-fitting*, trousers I always wear bespoke.

If one is on a budget, then yes: go Primark. I still do sometimes.  :D But I will never understand people who will buy an expensive but ill-fitting Lacoste (c.s.) polo, when they could just get one bespoke for less than twice that price.

In my hey day i was never big, bodybuilding wise. Still i had a hard time finding clothes that fit in my frame. T-shits and loose pants were the norm, specially in the calves.
Business jackets and shirts blouse never fitted in the arms. Had to go for bigger sizes, but then the jacket reached my knees. Just stupid.
Maybe our european clothing is more slim designed.

Haha, I started a thread about this a little while ago, but everyone called me gay. (To be fair, it may have been completely unrelated to the thread  :-\ )Korean bodybuilders do have a lot more style than American or European bodybuilders. I used to be a lot more envious of Phil's physique because he looked so good in clothes, but that's changed in the last few years. Also, a little while ago I said that there were bodybuilders I followed on instagram because of their clothes and the absolute gayest member of getbig (Pet Shop Boys) said that was gayer than following a bodybuilder to stare at him in his underwear, which is what he prefers to do. Really, it is because most bodybuilders dress like shit and it's not easy finding nice clothes if you have muscular/athletic proportions, so I take note of well-dressed larger guys.

As for western bodybuilders/fitness personalities that are well-dress, IMO no one beats this guy. He's fitspiration for me, but I follow him on instagram mostly for clothing. Consistently dope fits. I  actually bought that grey warm up suit a while back because he posted it. Granted, a well-dressed bodybuilder is a little different from a well-dressed fitness model.

This guy is more fitness model type, but he wears a lot of great stuff that a muscular guy can look good in. Unfortunately, he only tags the stuff that he is paid to endorse and it's usually the stuff I don't like. I have legit been looking for that American flag sweater for more than a year. The tattoos are hideous, but he did inspire me to start investing in designer belts. I have that Hermes belt in red and people always comment when I wear it.

A few more well-dressed bodybuilders. I stopped following him because he doesn't really post outfit selfies anymore, but I really like his style. He works in a cas/white collar environment thought he really pulled off the look

I didn't say blended in, I said pulled off the look. As in didn't look slobbish or embarrassing in the way that most bodybuilders in anything but gym clothes look. You honestly think he looks bad there?  ???

Hmmm. Maybe it is a little tight. Overall, I like his style, though.Even bodybuilders with instagram accounts are allowed to make a fashion misstep.

Yeah. Style and taste are subjective, so obviously different people will like diff things. You seem to have a more conservative taste in clothing , while I like conservative stuff with an edge.  If I wear a plain tshirt and jeans, I'll wear bright red Nikes  or something like that. The fit you labeled " very acceptable "  is the type of stuff I'll wear to work, but somewhat edgier stuff in my personal time.  For jeans, I always like them to be unusual. It's actually pretty difficult for me to find nice jeans. I can rarely find more than a single decent fitting pair at a time and I usually have to buy a really expensive brand to get a decent fit.  


That American flag sweater is the bomb, though. Sorry if you can't deal with it.

 ??? You're not even explaining yourself to make sense to me.
Here:

"I like vneck shirts and sweaters."

That is my taste in sweaters. Others may not share that same taste. Their taste in shirts does not supersede my own. That is why it's subjective.

What is an example of taste in clothing not being subjective?

He will be wearing sensible shoes, comfy khakis and not-too-flashy shirt. The site where she found his pic didn't identify him, so she just calls him " Brock Dependable".

You either see them wearing extremely tight 2 sizes too small shirts, or you see them wearing extremely loose fitting shirts or hoodies that completely cover their physiques. You never see them wear clothes that fit them normally. Or the even dumber look, the hoodie tank top. Do bodybuilders realize how stupid they look in this shit?

(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/322121069366-0-1/s-l1000.jpg)


If your chest is 60", arms 20" and both thighs 35", where exactly you find fitting clothes? And more so, if you happen to live in Europe, where ordinary shops sell sizes up to XXL, maybe even 3XL? It doesn't help if you need 5XL, so you have to buy what you get from the shops for "tall and fat" etc. And furthermore, the belly? If your chest is 50-60", your roid belly would be 70-80"", so what you really need some extra large maternity clothing,   ;D

It would seem there are more than a couple of people who obsess about the attire other folks wear. What seems dumb to one person may be really snazzy looking to another. "Live and let live" that's my motto.

Well,no. Just because many people share an opinion doesn't make that opinion a fact. Even if you wanted to say that by traditional moviemaking standards, Battlefield Earth isn't a good movie (fact), that doesn't mean that someone can't have the subjective opinion of liking and enjoying the film.

Not quite getting why this is the molehill you chose to blow up. There really is not logical debating that taste is subjective.
