hey, So, athletic, and especially short and athletic guys (an 8 inch drop means a lot more to someone who's 5'6" than 6'1") have a bunch of style concerns in and of themselves. After watching a bunch of threads pop up, get yelled at by regulars, and then die, I figured we could just put all of the "athletic build" resources in one thread. T shirts for an Athletic build: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=157038 http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=60546 Sweaters http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=44544 General Clothing advice: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?p=2765328 http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?p=2767560 (same as the above thread, but in SW&D) http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=28468 All threads about jeans for people with big thighs: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=66726 So as not to let this thread die an ignominious death, anyone with general wisdom or specific knowledge they'd like to share about clothing for people with athletic builds, please post it here. In general, I haven't found much better advice than taking your clothing to a tailor, especially dress shirts. Make sure they fit in the shoulders and then get the waist tapered as needed. Works better with solid colors than patterns, though.
