What kind of physique do you need to look good in Tom Ford?

[Frankie22]

I'm 6'2'', 180 lbs, somewhat athletic (I go to the gym a couple of times a week) and I love Tom Ford (the brand, but I'm straight, so I wouldn't go and kiss Tom Ford the man).

I've read many posts where certain people don't have the "right" physique to look good in Tom Ford.

What physique does someone need to look good in Tom Ford?

No chest - no drop - no muscle. Same old story.

Todays generation of men keep themselves in shape, and I would wager, as mentioned in this thread, the average drop of a 25-30 year old man is 6-8 inches. My drop is 11, and while I am a former athlete and serious about weight lifting, I am not a bodybuilder. Part genetics I admit (my waist is naturally small).

Hopefully manufacturers start taking note.

The Wikipedia, it disagrees.

15% bf is not in shape. You clearly see abs at 10 and below. 15% is by no means unhealthy, but it's certainly not in shape.

2% bodyfat is pretty good, like the milk.

Did your spellcheck substitute the wrong preposition?

What world do you live in? 15% isn't a competitive bodybuilder or a professional athlete, but for a regular guy, 15% is pretty damn fit.

You're not applying the StyFo 10% BodyFat Deduction Factor.

I have zero bodyfat, except momentarily when I eat buttered toast.

BTW, Tom Ford wears a girdle. True story.

Oh good, I won't feel bad about wearing my Spanx for Men anymore

You shouldn't, it produces a voluptuous muffin top.

No, but it auto assumes "Amazaballs" when I start with "amaz.." Im not sure how I feel about that.

I dont disagree that 15% BF can be fit.

When I think "in shape" I think in shape. Hey, we knit pick the fit of a suit to smallest detail.

15% bf is not out of shape, but, in my opinion, it's not anything above average for someone who puts in minimal effort at the gym and eats reasonably healthy. When I say in shape, I mean in shape. Visible abs, etc.

This thread is irrelevant, since no one can actually own a Tom Ford suit. They are leased on a contractual bases, and only to Bigtimers. That leaves SF out
