you have to learn how to use clothing to best show off your proportions, instead you wear clothes that just makes you look stumpy...your problem is your hip area, you have to learn to play with what you got

tank is too tight, and shorts are too short

try a loose fitting tank and you are going to have to experiment with different length shorts, preferably ones that drape better


agree with this

shrug you had the courage to post. What's even more valuable is the pluck to accept tough feedback and improve from it though.

melonadejello, really nice


imho that gn fit would also benefit from some lower body weight loss (some drastic calf reduction in particular) + more fitted shorts.

Shah: I was in Sedona for 5 days, and Scottsdale for 2.

Wally, etc: Thanks for the feedback. Not having any internal sense of things, and I had literally no reference to work from (and my questions and searches on the "right" way to do both tanks and shorts came up with nothing).

The shorts are actually very fitted to the point of being tight (the cliche "i have athletic thighs" is true here, i'm afraid). They just end right where my quads end which makes them look really stiff when in reality they're just "filled up". But i'll try for something slightly looser all around, and perhaps longer.

Maybe a pair of sweat shorts? Who makes good ones for <100?

lol kwoyeu that is terrible advice, man - why would he want to be less fit so he could wear clothes... GN i think silent shorts would look good on you along with a way less fitted tank. or something of similar ilk for cheaper...but ****'s on sale right now so i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find

note that i did not say 'GN would benefit from lower body weight loss'. read my post. i said that particular fit - GN + tanks + shorts + mmm mids - would be improved if he had a skinner lower body. saying this is perfectly compatible with holding that GN only needs to change his clothes and not his physique.

having said that, i've seen quite a few GN fits and i honestly think that his fits in general would benefit from having a skinnier lower body (esp. the calves). i also disagree re: losing lower-body weight = less fit. but these are different topics.

I don't remember what any of GN's older fits look like But I'm pretty sure the "large hips" of his last pic are thanks to the slash pockets of his shorts? Take those away and we'll have a non-issue. Def doesn't deserve a page of comments. Also, kwoyeu's pic was ******* laughable. If GN starts celery sticks for breakfast, I'm blaming you.
