Sure I wear sweats from time to time like anybody else and I have the two pair of pants that I wore for my wedding being Han Solo & Indiana Jones. They weren't very comfortable but I did what I could do and I can still fit into them even after losing more than 30 lbs since then.
Basketball and regular type shorts were my thing ever since I was a kid, they made me move around better and I felt comfortable. Dressing like a Californian or someone who looks like he's dressed for summer almost all year round can give you some looks here and there especially if you live in places like Idaho where it's not always ideal to wear shorts in the winter time but with me it happened often.
The sizes of my clothes have varied over the years but these days, I usually wear XL T-Shirts (2XL depending on the elasticity of the fabric) XL shorts where ones don't compress my legs and 2XL Boxers. The boxers were always weird with me for as long as I can remember. I have to wear elastic or stretchy type Boxer Shorts because like with the Jeans, my waist would fit synergistically but not my thighs and hamstrings. Some Boxers I had to get rid of because my legs would be compressed and they feel as if they're being choked or squeezed. When I was 275, I could wear 2XL and be fine. Now, at around 230 (last I checked was just below 229) I still have to wear 2XL Boxers because of those damn Tree Trunk California Redwood Thighs I have. I went to the store recently and bought some XL with the fabric I like and tried them on. They're great in the waist and fit perfectly but my legs still feel some compression, not as bad as they would've been but Fucking A man LOL.
I did used to wear 3XL shirts at one point in my life and I hated having that big of a shirt. When the weight came down and dropping a size or two, I was happy with it. The last time I wore 3XL was maybe 7-8 years ago when I was at my heaviest but I also wore them in my late teens and around 20 cause I got up to 255-260 when I was weight training more frequent and had an idea of going into Drug Free Powerlifting. The smallest size I ever wore comfortably in the last 22-23 years has been a Large at best. At almost 42, being in the best condition and having a better physique since I turned 40, wearing a XL the majority of the time is good for me. Depending on the fabric and elasticity sometimes wearing a 2XL helps and it just makes me look like a linebacker.
When it comes to my workouts, I just wear my street clothes. I never really got into the Gym Clothes thing, I let the Guys who're gym rats have that. Most of the T-Shirts I wear (if you haven't seen my videos) are usually ones with Superheroes, Viking, Metal/Rock, Wrestling or at times just plain White or a long sleeve with a 2XL shirt over it. If I were to wear a Large shirt, those are usually the "Muscle Shirts" where some show more of my physique which my wife likes and people tell me I look like a Bouncer in them. I don't do it all the time but its fun when it's called upon.
In the last 3 years or so I started wearing Do Rags instead of usual beanies or baseball hats. I still wear them sometimes but Do Rags I enjoy wearing. My late Step-Dad In law wore them and I got along with him good since we were both into comics and Superheroes so I wear them in his memory. Designs of Fire, Skull & Bones, Raiders, Plain Blue or Orange and others. I probably have about 20 or more of these things. They're light, comfortable and I get a kick out of many of the Designs. Wish they had one of the San Francisco Giants. That would be awesome.
With the way fitness goes sometimes, it's not always easy to find clothes that fit but, you do what you can and find things that suit who you are. Be amazingly awesome. Shoot me a comment or use the contact form. Be respectful and looking forward to hearing from you.
