Trying to improve my gym attire

[killerman]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post regarding clothing but I couldn't find anywhere else so I thought I'd post here. Anyway, im currently trying to upgrade my attire for the gym as best I can. The aim is to find the tank tops which make me look my most physically attractive whenever I hit the weights. Put on some decent muscle last few years so want to show it off as best I can, especially as i'm trying to attract fitness gym girls in hot sportsbras and yogapants. I've got a few tank tops at the moment, a few gold gym classics and a couple of black ones. Would appreciate your feedback as to which ones look best on me. Also if you know of some tank tops that would look even better on me would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. I've got no problem upgrading my look and buying some better ones. Thanks!

Those deep neck tanks looks stupid in my opinion. just buy normal tanks but they them a size or two smaller so they are tight and then buy some above the knee shorts with a slimmer fit inseam.

Most of all, focus on your workouts. Know what looks more impressive to these fitness girls than your clothes? Lifting a lot of weight! Do it safely though a don’t ego lift. Having to be rescued probably doesn’t get to many of them goes wet.

By deep neck tanks do you mean the red, blue and yellow ones?

Agree with @Warped Mindless. The blue, yellow and red ones scream “I am a powerlifter”… which:
1) Girls don’t care for
2) You shouldn’t be signaling until you’re massive, it looks kinda fake

Ok, thanks for the feedback. So would you say these ones are better? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Black-Men-s-Jogger-Vest-Gym_62510849431.html

I'm thinking of getting some of these and then going with some tight black shorts. I think that would be a better look than the red, blue and yellow ones I've got at the moment.

I did a video on gym attire, you can get some ideas:

There are some new trends back to 80s, with shorts, low top sneakers showing socks (high socks), regular shirts

another one is long joggers with high tops usually nikey sb or converse high tops socks going over the pants....


That pics you posted totally outdated styles...

 

[POB]

1) tanktops should be high on the neck, mid-low on the sides.
2) never use black or darker shirts bc they make you look smaller.
3) always favor cotton Ts (because they are easier to wash and don't have persistent odor).
3) add small acessories to your neck and wrists (look at my pic below).
4) shoes matter! Get 2-3 good pairs that match with your outfits.
5) If you have long legs, use longer shorts....and vice-versa (short legs, shorten your bermudas).
6) never expose your shin! it makes your legs look thinner...always use some kind of legging (lycra) below your shorts OR get nice snickers and rock them with a longer sock.

P.S. don't buy directly from the internet. Go to the store and try them out first.
Then, if they are cheaper, you can buy online (but only after you got the right size and model).

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. Going to go for a tight fitting black tank top, short at the neck, some tight black running shorts. Definintely not wearing the gold's gym tanktops again, I thought for a while they were a little tacky.

On a side note there's this hot fitness chick who was ignoring me at the gym for months but since I lowered my body fat from 20% to 15% she's been smiling at me and yesterday when I started wearing one of my old black tank tops (none of those tacky gold's gym stringers) I swear she was checking me out a few times, looking right in my direction so it clearly must be working. Appearance is key, it's unbelievable guys just overlook it completely. Excited for the future, especially as I'm looking to cut down 8-9% bodyfat and carry on improving my look. Will be interesting to see how things play out with female attraction.

What about wearing a dog tag as an accessory, does that work, or is it the wrong kind of accessory?

Depends on your style...but i would avoid it.
Use a colorful rock (or even a stylish coin).

I use a black tourmaline, which some believe to be one of the scorpio's rock.
You can imagine how easy it is to start a conversation when they ask about it.

You say never use black or darker shirts, what about black tanktops?

 

[POB]

You say never use black or darker shirts, what about black tanktops?

The same.
I have a close friend who is a fabric specialist (the kind of guy that buys tons of fabric from China and sells exclusively to exquisite fashion brands).
He said we should never use black as gym attire, ever, specially if it's not cotton (but even cotton is bad).
Apparently they use some kind of color treatment that tends to hold more bacteria (for a longer time) on those shirts.
(and I know for a fact it's really like that....my past black gym Ts and tanks smelled like I was living in the streets, no matter what i did with them).

But do the Black tank tops actually make you look smaller? If so what colour tank tops should you wear to maximise how big you look? I'm 6 foot 3, dark, mediterranean looking btw.

Yes

Bright colors, but only the ones that match your skin tone.
I have a very light brown reddish skin tone, so I use:
- light yellow
- strong yellow
- light grey
- some greens
- some oranges
- strong reds
- strong purples

I avoid:
- black
- brown
- beige
- pink
- dark yellows
- dark greens
- light reds

I'll try to take some pictures of my latest gym purchase so you can have an idea.

Buy Gasp t shirts, fit amazingly well and look cool. But ultimately the best attire is your muscles which will look good in any clothing. And ditch those tank tops.

 

[killerman]

Ok cool, going to get some different coloured tank tops. Which colours do you think would suit me? I'm 6 foot 3, dark looking. I've been told I look latin quite a lot eg spanish, italian, greek (im half italian), so what colour would suit me best? I'm thinking of getting some red tanktops, read a girlschase article which said red was the sexiest colour so think the sight of me lifting weights in the gym, lean and ripped in a tight red tank top might be a pretty good sexual look, what do you think?
