The Clothes you would wear, if you had the funds....

[bigbobs]

What would be your picks?

Here are mine:
Ermenegildo Zegna

Kenneth Cole

This is me with an Ermenegildo Zegna velvet blazer - although I wouldn't buy that brand again...after trying a "made to measure" suit once I decided I wouldn't buy any designer brands off the rack especially if its a brand like zegna that costs the same as made too measure anyway

for my sports clothes i like starter
for dressy jeans i like faded glory

Used to be into expensive brands n shit, now I don't give a shit as long as they fit well, look cool, and the outfit looks good as a whole.. it can be dirt cheap or expensive.. fit and look is more important than price/brand.

x2 - the amount we spend on working out (time and gym memberships), food and supplements, you can make a cheap clothing look nicer than expensive clothing on someone who doesn't work out.

....a bodybuilder trying to look "stylish" in anything is a complete paradox.  It's impossible.  You get to a certain size and you just look stupid out in public in normal clothes.

most people wear shit that they see others wear, or shit they see in magazines or tv.....nobody has their own style anymore...this thread proves that...

or perhaps what's being in sold in stores. Your own style is your own. Albeit, the whole ed hardy, tapout, under armor is blown wayyyyyy out of proportion.

100% agree only one crux to this theory.  You can't be short.

If off-the-rack fits you properly, then you are too small. Period.

To mention Zegna and Cole in this post is like saying -in the context of cars- that if u had the funds u would have:

Lamborghini
www.lamborghini.com

Chevrolet
http://www.chevrolet.com/

I hope no one will be wondering who is being compared with whom

 

Chevrolet Corvet ZR1 bests Lambo LP-670, but I get what you are saying. And I would rather have the Lambo...


Even some of Kenneth Cole's high end stuff is not "cheap"

But, in today's world, a person who even wears a suit to church, or to court is a rarity...

People with money, don't need to prove it to anyone by wearing expensive labels. I wear clothes that fit well, make me feel comfortable and look clean. I could care less who made them. Right now I am wearing plaid shorts and a polo from Old Navy.

The shorts are a bit loose, like I like them to be. Really fitted clothes on folks with some muscle look too obvious. Jeans are an issue. I used to wear Levis but they are no longer comfortable feeling to me, so I switched to Lucky Jeans. They can be dressed up or down as depending on the occasion. They are always comfortable on me.

I like organic fabrics best. Silk shirts are great for staying cool during hot weather. I prefer clothes that can be washed as opposed to being dry cleaned. I'll make an exception to this rule with dress slacks and suits. However, being retired, I find I rarely wear a suit anymore.

Work clothes (suits) i have are generally good quality and when it's for work i can seem to justify spending the dough.

Everyday clothes, whatever i want really. Some is expensive, some is cheap.

Never heard anything about half of the brands mentioned in this thread.

levis 501 , shorts , sneakers , t-shirts, slim fit shirts, polos .. just regular stuff but I don't have to wear a suit for work or anything.

Wouldn't change it even if I was a millionaire ..uhm I mean even though I am one.

I doubt that a lot of people on here will have trouble finding clothes that fit because they are to muscular - maybe it's time to loose some fat ?

I'd buy Nassers suit

It's always a good time to lose some fat. And I should know...   But even then: buying something in my size off the rack is a disaster. The few stores that actually carry my size only have clothes cut for morbidly obese people. Anyone over 275 is automatically seen as being a fat tub of lard, with a huge gut, stick legs, no ass and no shoulder width. So trousers that would fit my waist fine can't be pulled up over my knees, a shirt or jacket that fits my shoulders is a dozen sizes too large on the gut. It sucks. So I just have trousers made to order. A good wool can take a lot of abuse and still look and feel great.

[dave19]

Ok if you're over 275 and not obese then it's probably going to be hard to find something that fits but with those stats you are an exception

My waist is very small while my legs are pretty big which can make it harder for me to find some good fitting jeans but that's about my only problem.

Slim fit shirts are good.

I remember working at Armani many years back.
These tools would come in spending hundreds of dollars and many hours picking out clothes.
Meanwhile, they had pencil necks or lots to be desired physically.
I wanted to smack half of them and point them to a gym.

Some will do anything to avoid lifting weights for a better appearance.
Much like women getting their hair/nails done, being 40lbs over weight, and never hitting the gym....brilliant.

Ahhhh, but they could afford the clothes. Most who can afford the lux items, don't bother with lifting. Do you think Bernie Ecclestone cares about lifting weights, when he is being spanked by a 5'11 Dom that's hotter than the egg frying on the hood of his Maserati---which the Dom will force him to eat....
