Yeah, baggy is cool :D . Better than tight shirts that some of those skater people wear.

I prefer small shirts, so most of the time it's M for me. Baggy is ok, but only for your trousers.

Aren't you afraid of getting lost in them, and never finding your way out?

I tend to be a small/medium in women's clothing. My partner is 6"4 and I'll quite often 'borrow' his shirts and sweaters; it's great fun! :D

I'll often wear loose-fitting shirts, Tshirts and sweaters, but I don't like my jeans to be overly loose or baggy. IMO jeans that are too big are just as uncomfortable as jeans that are too tight.

I like baggy clothes, baggy trousers and baggy shirts. and no, don't mistake me for a hip-hop guy because of that, I do not like hip-hop, except for a few songs. I am more of the guy that listens to mozart/johnny cash/ennio morricone/coldplay

that's why they rock. it's like crawling into the duvet cover when you're little and finding a wonderful little wobbly glowing world.

so it is - happy birthday :)

and I like big tops in the winter because it is possible to tuck one's legs up inside them and curl into a warm little ball.

It's ok, I've noticed a lot of nice girls like smaller guys. ;)

Well, I'm a fairly big guy. Not monstrously tall or fat or muscular, just fairly tall and I'm not all that thin. So XXL is just like one size larger than what would be a tight fit for a shirt on me so I generally go with that. I hate feeling restricted altogether, tight clothes drive me crazy because of that. I don't head out for the largest clothes I can find though. Just something that covers me up and is comfortable to wear.

My hooded jackets though, the bigger the better. I really don't wear a real jacket in the winter time, just my hoody and if it gets really cold, it's nice to have it be a little longer on me than it should be. Not to mention, if it's big enough, I've managed to actually squeeze a girlfriend of mine in my old hoody I just got rid of with me before. Most you can't fit two peoples head's through the neck though. :( It was a fun afternoon that day. :p

I don't like shopping so I have a couple of things I wear but they're not particularly baggy, I think... They're more like completely uncategorized. (At least, I hope so, because I hate to be 'boxed' by what I wear.)

I'm a collared shirt kind of guy.

Generally small, tightly cut. Most of my t shirts are small, but they usually go under a collared shirt, so tight's better.

Ik, it's definitly not XXL what you are wearing, more like M, or L. The catogorie it fits in would be lousy casual :p

Lousy casual. That's not affiliated to any group, so that's good enough. :)

Speaking of XXL, has anybody else noticed that sizes seem to have gotten smaller? At least they have for women :rolleyes:

About a year back I went on a Tshirt buying mission. If I want something to fit me comfortably without being overly baggy I'm usually good with a medium. So here I was trying on mediums and discovering they were really restrictive. Since I hadn't experienced any kind of weight gain I was puzzled, and assumed it was just the style or maybe the particular store. Off I went to a few others, and it was the same thing. I ended up buying large and XL instead, and I also ended up with a few small men's Tshirts.

I swear.. designers have made female clothing smaller just to satisfy the fantasies of the average male.. :rolleyes:
Yet another reason I *hate* shopping.. :p
