IGotWorms 3,315 Posted June 8, 2019 I’ve got this problem. On the weekends I just don’t know what to wear for tops. Got a few polo shirts that are alright and I’m good on sweatshirts and jackets, but I’ve been unable to find some good t-shirts or similar casual wear. The issue is most of them make me look like I’ve got a huge belly and/or the solid beginnings of b1tch teets. Just not flattering at all. I am kind of soft and flabby though only a little bit overweight. Think “dad bod” but if you never really had pecs or abs to begin with. Also my arms aren’t quite pencil thin but there will be no tickets sold to this gun show. Anybody got a recommendation for this body type? Weekend wear really, button down shirts are good for the week and I’ve got plenty of those. TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5-Points 2,729 Posted June 8, 2019 Well, it isn't the shirt that makes you look like you've got a fat belly or man bewbs. Either you have them or you don't. Wear a size larger and stop tucking your shirt in if that's the case. Also, just own it. Go shirtless and at least get a tan. Chubby and tan > chubby and pale. Also also, welcome back.

jerryskids 5,205 Posted June 8, 2019 This is the Geek Club, we're all carved of granite even in our 50s. That being said, my wife and I were just invited to a pool party in a few weeks by one of our gym couple friends. Wife can rock it but I've got some work to do. That being said, moobs and pot belly isn't the problem, just an overall "need to lose 10 pounds" thing. I look fine in a T-shirt I think but no shirt, that is some pressure with a crossfit/HIIT crowd. I guess my advice is to not go too thin on the material, which would highlight moobs and belly. And as others have said, looser is better for your situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,559 Posted June 9, 2019 You can find some good t-shirts by following the links at Steven Crowder's youtube page. The one with the figs comes most recommended.

wiffleball 4,640 Posted June 9, 2019 Dude, at a certain age, dude's shouldn't wear an undershirt alone. Many make the same argument about blue jeans, but whatever.

Skinny jeans or those fugly ones with designs on the pockets? Never saw an old dude wearing relaxed fit jeans and thought they were trying to look young. Then again I'm 49 and wear relaxed fit jeans every day. Oh my! Are people judging me?? Fock em if they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think you're supposed to wear slacks pulled way up high once you reach a certain age? Not trying to be a d1ck, just don't understand the concern about wearing normal jeans once you get older.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted June 9, 2019 Button down shirts that are a little bigger hide them better. Just get a long sleeve and roll them up. If you have B tlts, it's pretty much impossible to hide it. I bet most dudes who have them don't even realize it looks like they could breast feed a baby. I know that when I was 20 pounds of fat heaavier, I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw a few picks from the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
