Having an athletic body is no guarantee that all your clothes will fit: either your shirt is too tight around the arms, or your trousers are too tight around the thighs. Here are a few tips to help you.

Do you spend your free time at the gym? Then you know that finding clothes that fit isn't easy. An athletic body also has its drawbacks. In clothes that are too tight or too loose, broad shoulders and muscular arms and thighs are not advantageous. To ensure that not only the content but also the packaging is satisfactory, I tell you what to look out for in your outfits.

#1 The perfect shirt

Sure, you've trained hard, but that's no reason to put on tight tops and show off to the other people around you. You can do it in a more subtle way. In future, buy your shirts and jumpers one size bigger so that the fabric gently surrounds your muscles. Avoid skinny or slim-fit models; the bulging effect is not the order of the day. Go for fine fabrics and, for pity's sake, avoid wearing knitwear. They make you look too much like the Michelin Man. [[image:20073833]]The perfect shirt size: tight, but not skin-tight

#2 The happy medium

If you're not only muscular, but also tall, I wouldn't recommend the monochrome look. Tone on tone is chic, but makes you look even bigger. After all, you don't want to be mistaken for a pole. For you, the golden rule is: trousers and top must be a different colour. If you absolutely insist on wearing just one colour, use a belt in another colour to make the caesura.

#3 Bespoke

You can write off ready-to-wear suits; they won't fit. How about a bespoke suit instead? Here, I'd always advise you to look out for quality. After all, a defined body deserves only the best.... 😉 [[productlist:9315543,9315544]]

#4 With style

There are plenty of trends out there. If you want to show off your body, the utility chic style is ideal. Anything reminiscent of the military in fact: cargo trousers, boots, pilot's goggles and trench coats or jackets will add a great effect to your outfit. [[productlist:9315543,9315544]]
