Hahah stop being insecure this is how shorts should fit

>>6460310
it doesn't tell me where to find them and my legs don't physically fit into the shorts you guys can wear

>>6460302
no that's for girls, no one wants to see my hairy muscular legs in shorts that look like they're about to tear

>>6460319
ok I can't help you any further have fun looking shitty

Look for 11" chino shorts.

Shorts are not supposed to go over your knee unless you are black and play basketball.

No pleats.

>>6460310

there's a sliding scale of /fit/ to /fa/

If you're like 80% /fit/ the most you can be is 20% /fa/

cargo shorts are ugly as all hell but you'll have to deal with it.

The only advice I can give is buying khakis that fit you well and then just cutting them with scissors at the knee if you're too insecure to show your leg.

>>6460319

I'm a /fit/izen too but I don't wear shorts ever. So sorry.

>>6460331
why not?

>>6460341
Chino is a brand or a material? All the shorts I find are made for guys that are 5'8 and with 20" thighs, I can only fit in the legs if I get a waist size that's way too big.

>>6460360

Material. Get them tailored?

Its normal and recommended to get most clothes tailored anyway. By tailoring you get the best fit.

>>6460348
>If you're like 80% /fit/ the most you can be is 20% /fa/

at the moment I'm 0% /fa/ so anything helps

>>6460354
it's 87F here man, I would become a human sprinkler if I had to walk around in jeans in this heat

>>6460348
>If you're like 80% /fit/ the most you can be is 20% /fa/

are you fucking retarded? if you're 0% fit then you're fa?

I know it's in to hate fit but you guys are bending over backwards to be cool and you look like dumbasses

>>6460360
>chino is a brand or a material?

>>6460369
You know what he means , stop being a cunt.

>>6460380

nah there is plenty of shit that only looks good on muscular people just like there is stuff that only works on twigs. of course instead of discussing those things he just wants to shit everywhere.

I heard chubbies are good, no experience though.

>>6460366
hmm I hadn't considered tailoring, do you just get clothes that are clearly too big and get them cut down? I thought tailors were only for dress pants and dress shirts.

>>6460375
idk man, I saw the word chino in stores but had no idea what it meant

J. Crew has some decent chino shorts. Try 11" or 9". Chino is a material, /fit/anon.

Whatever you find, just roll it up 'til it's 4/5 or 3/4 of the way down to your knee.

>>6460366
>Its normal and recommended to get most clothes tailored anyway
no, it's not. just shut up tripfag

>>6460387
it's a type of material. chino shorts are just any normal twill shorts you're bound to see in a store. I can't imagine you can't find any that fit you. Many companies make them with wide leg openings, especially the mainstay dad brands like polo RL, hilfiger, etc

>>6460387
What we refer to as chino you likely refer to as khaki. However the term khaki is incorrect, for khaki is actually a color.

>>6460386
Chubbies are very good shorts. Except OP sounds like he doesnt know the meaning of a fraternity so theyre probably not for him. I'd recommend brooks brothers shorts for him.

>>6460396
9"????? jesus my balls would flop out of my shorts if I wore them that short

>>6460432
>Many companies make them with wide leg openings, especially the mainstay dad brands like polo RL, hilfiger, etc

They do and those are $$$$$$$$$$$, I did find some nice RL shorts that weren't too short and weren't too tight but they were $95 and I can't justify it. And the material felt like it's not something I would wear regularly for fear of wearing it out. I assume men that buy them have 10 different pairs so they never have to wear them twice before washing.

>>6460442
I associate khaki with cargo shorts but I know what you mean by chino I think. WHY don't they just make cargo shorts but without the pockets. The cargo shorts I have fit beautifully for my deformed body but the pockets just ruin it.

>>6460386

>there is plenty of shit that only looks good on muscular people

like ed hardy, true religion, affliction/tapout tees, polos with popped collars, shox, backwards fitted hats, tribal tattoos, and white-framed sunglasses

mix and match as you want. have fun!

damn, if only I was more muscular I could

James Perse sweat shorts

>>6460507
Also reigning champ makes good ones too

>>6460511

>>6460503

>my balls would flop out of my shorts if I wore them that short

Not if you don't wear boxers.

Pic related.

This is how chino shorts should fit on you.

>>6460507
$200 for shorts @___@

>>6460511
As far as I can tell athletes and muscular people have to get everything tailored to fit them at all. Meanwhile there's many stores and companies centered around making clothes for the fat obese shitheads from any price range and style.

>>6460516
I just measured and 9" wouldn't even be half-way down my thigh standing up

>>6460523
and notice how his legs are the same size as his arms

>>6460503
>They do and those are $$$$$$$$$$$
just go to marshalls. no one should have to pay full price for prl

tl;dr

OP did you find a solution?

>>6460432

>implying you can't get a better fit by tailoring

>>6460348
are you stupid

part of being /fa/ is buying clothes that match your build
they aren't mutually exclusive

>>6460554

Post a picture of your body.

I know that sounds weird, but we need to see what we're dealing with here.

>>6460539
Welcome to the big leagues

You can find JP shorts at Nordstrom rack for like $50

>>6460586
6', 210lb, built compared to average guy, long arms and long legs, not as lean as I'd like to be, aspie as fuck
no full body pics available

>>6460560
I'll look around to see if that store is in this city

>>6460600
I'm not even ready for the little leagues yet

>>6460387

The only way to tailor them is to buy too big so they can cut shit out. If you buy too small they would have to add stuff in between using the same material witch they don't have.

Also buy cargo shorts if you want. Who fucking cares? Its just /fa/ saying that they look like shit. I hate shorts but I saw my friend this summer wearing sandals (without socks, beige cargo shorts and this nice summer shirt hanging over the shorts. Looked really relaxed but still smart.

>>6460625
>Also buy cargo shorts if you want. Who fucking cares?

a girl I work with told me and she's too nice, so it's probably much uglier than she said

>>6460657
theres a really good shorts infographic, but i dont have it.

>>6460523
>wearing a scarf when it's hot enough to wear shorts
what a fucking tool

>>6460625
why they fuck do you even trip, you obviously dont know what youre talking about?
have you even posted a fit yet?

>>6460676
this it?

>>6460699
And see, every single guy in this pic has toothpick legs. Look at the "jorts" pic at the bottom, that's what all the rest of the shorts above it look like on me.

>>6460699
This guide sucks

No drawstring cotton shorts like wtf?

All preppy bullshit
>" pls some shorts to accommodate my thighs"
>post guide on what tights op should buy

>>6460707
lol its just an infographic m8, its not like the be all end all. this is just to give you ideas.

however, i will say this, j. crews broken in chino shorts are their loosest fits if you want to try those out

>>6460707
brooks brothers?

>>6460707

Buy dem cargo shorts or one of those "normal" shorts a size or 2 too big and have them tailored.

OR

Start seriously shopping around. Go to every fucking store that even might sell clothes. Sport stores etc have ADULT sized shorts. Teen stores don't.

My friend literally couldn't find any decent t-shirts in a Jack and Jones stores because the sleeves were too tight for his biceps. And I'm a little overweight and the XL sized jackets are just my size but they don't have larger jackets than XL.

Malls have lots of different sport and clothing stores. Just go all of your local shops trough.

>>6460725
>however, i will say this, j. crews broken in chino shorts are their loosest fits if you want to try those out
>>6460735

alright I'll look into it, hopefully the people at the store treat me like shit for being a neckbeard fucktard

>>6460741
I looked but maybe not enough, all these /fa/ stores have wonky as fuck sizing. T-shirts that are XL barely fit and cost a fortune while the current generic plain t-shirts I wear now cost 1/5 as much and are medium or large. I was looking at dress shirts from one of the stores (American Eagle maybe) and they said that my back was too big to fit with the neck sizes I was looking at.

I'm not even that muscular compared to where I should be, why do the fatties of America get more options for clothing than me when I'm the one trying to make better decisions and get my health under control and engage in strenuous physical activity? It was easier to buy clothes when I was a fatfuck

>>6460774
cheap clothing caters to fat people

how big are you though

>>6460791
see

>>6460619

>be a fattie (not that much anymore though but still)
>sucks to work anywhere where you have to use a work uniform

>the shorter you are the smaller waist you have
>the taller you are the bigger your waist

>wear size 56
>kneepad places on my ankles
>try size 50
>length right but can't even close my zipper
>take size 56
>fuck europe

Also I only buy American clothes because you actually get to choose your length and waist even in jackets. Europe fucking sucks man. Its either 48, 50 etc and XS-XXXXL in jackets. Dickies work clothes are the best but nobody uses those here.

To the point:

Stop buying shit from those "/fa/" stores. They are meant for average length skinny dudes. Not for average or tall muscular or overweight people. Check other stores. Mens clothes stores and sport stores that sell sporting clothes. Most malls have many clothing stores and even the largest grocery stores might have clothes (the really big ones).

Just go look around and talk to the sellers. If you can't find anything just thank them and leave. It might be awkward first but don't worry. Also some military surplus stores carry nice items that even civilians can wear. Like the Finnish Navy actually issued us dark navy blue non cargo pocket shorts. I just tried them on they were nice but like I said I don't like shorts so I don't wear them. So even military have these one color items that look like civilian clothes.

>>6460835
soooooo...
youre a fat manlet, youre poor, you have no taste and you know nothing about fashion?
why exactly do you trip on this board?

>>6460835
>be 5'10 and 220lbs
no offence but isn't that super fat?
i'm 5'8 and 126lbs and I could do with losing weight.

>>6460856
>i'm 5'8 and 126lbs
You have a shitty body then, because 126 is nothing if you're a man.

>>6460854

>5'10" is the average height here
>I'm not poor
>I think I have taste and I know about fashion
>see above

>>6460856

I used to be. And no its not super fat if some of it is actually muscle (see Mike Tyson for example he wasn't fat).

I don't weight myself and I'm not about losing weight. I'm gaining weight and muscle.

>>6460835
>take size 56

Surely you don't mean inches in waist?
I live in America so my only option for clothes I can try on are at the mall. I can see and feel that the /fa/ stores have high quality clothes but you need to be completely average body or slim or fat. If you're muscular you're fucked


>>6460856
Depends on if you lift weights properly or not, 5'10 220lb can be totally obese or built and muscular as hell. Powerlifters that are 5'10 tend to be 220lb (100kg) or 242lb (110kg) for their weight class and many that height go to 275lb (125kg). At that height if you are very lean then you can get away with being 198lb (90kg).

See OP what I have to deal with in this board? Stop going /fa/ stores. The sellers are like these two idiots here.

Weight=Fat
Normal good looking clothes=Shit
Buying clothes from non /fa/ "approved" stores=Poor

>>6460890
>I'm not poor
>I have taste and I know about fashion
you made it very clear thats not the case

>>6460902
buying clothes from walmart, target and topshop does mean youre poor, face it.

>>6460902
>See OP what I have to deal with in this board
lol uve been here like 1 day

Talking about shorts, I need a new swimshort, anyone can suggest a decent one?

>>6460366
>chino
>material

why trip if you're clueless?

>>6460893

No those are EU sizes. They are not inches nor cm. I don't know what the fuck they are.

48=short length, skinny
56=tall length, fat as fatass

the lower the number is the skinnier and shorter you are. The higher the number is the fatter and taller you are. Euro logic!

My jeans size for Levis is 36 waist and 32 length. For other companies it may vary from 34-38 waist and 30-32 length.

T-shirt sizes can vary from M-XL. Buy a work t-shirt from construction workers supply store and the size is M. Go to a /fa/ "approved" store and its XL.

>>6460941
>I've been browsing since 2006
and youre still fat and thin wearing long cargo shorts is a good idea?
wow

>>6460935

"Chino cloth (/ˌtʃiːnoʊ/ CHEE-noh) is a twill fabric, originally made of 100% cotton. The most common item made from it, trousers, are widely called chinos. Today it is also found in cotton-synthetic blends.

Developed in the mid-19th century for British and French military uniforms, it has since migrated into civilian wear. Trousers of such a fabric gained popularity in the U.S. when Spanish-American War veterans returned from the Philippines with their twill military trousers."

>>6460944
