Clothing recommendation (not specifically for clubs, just for life in general)

Adidas cargo pants. Get a size up for a nice baggy fit. These look really nice in person. I like the cut and material. adidas.com

Don't wear cargo pants. Seriously. That's for fat guys and dads who like to embarrass their kids.

If your belt buckle bothers you, you need to lose weight. Shrink your gut and build your glutes and you won't even need a belt. Until then, you can use a fabric belt with strap style buckle for more comfort, but you'll look like a bitch.

I’ve been in clubs where the door guy won’t let you in unless you are wearing belted pants.

I wear a suit and tie every day, and always nice shoes and belts...for work. Irl its tees and shorts in the summer and sweats, T and hoodie in the winter. I won no jeans, 2 pairs of dockers and one nice shirt, awaiting its 15th thanksgiving pic in a row.

^^ Hey, I’m a New Balance guy and proud of it. For several reasons. I have big feet and they offer wide widths than fit better than Nike. And they were last hold out of athletic shoes manufactured in the US.

and I’ve noticed white shoes are making a comeback

@puddy tat - I would have gone with calf socks and mandals

Best wide widths are from Sketchers, imo

I go out of my way to avoid Nike

You can never go wrong with a stylin’ suit. ROAR!!!

There are a lot of options for comfortable pants and shorts. Synthetic and synthetic/cotton blends are prevalent and look and feel good.

Lululemon, Callaway Golf, Tailor Vintage are some of my preferred brands. For jeans that are soft enough to wear in a strip club, Ezekiel 305’s, Union Lounge, some Lucky Brand and Mavi are all good. I can’t help you with the belt thing. Buy pants that fit?

Cargos are in style. As long as they're baggy. So are new balances.

@Hank, no offense but what kind of man wears Lululemon? All I know about them is a few years back there was some controversy about the pants being so thin that women's cunts were showing through.

For wider feet there is no better footwear than Asics.

They were a gift. Quality and comfort is top notch and they don’t have obtrusive labels. I’d have never bought them for myself, but they’re perfect for the office where our dress code has become more casual since COVID. My eyes were opened.

@Elsombra Thanks for the recommendation. Although if it's got a baggy fit, it's probably not quite what I'm looking for... I'd actually like to find something more like conventional slacks, that just happen to have really strong elastic at the waist. But not sure anyone makes such a thing... :)

@gammanu95 I don't care whether anyone likes the belt I'm wearing, the shirt I'm wearing, the pants I'm wearing, the shoes I'm wearing, etc. If someone doesn't like what I'm wearing, hey, no problem! Just don't expect me to give a shit... :)

If I'm watching someone ELSE being ridiculed for what they're wearing, or their weight, or anything else, now THAT really bothers me. In those cases, I'd give anything for the people doing that to leave the other person alone, and direct their ridicule at me instead. I find it absolutely heartbreaking to watch other people being made fun of, but I'm completely oblivious to having it done to me.

@motorhead interesting...I wouldn't have guessed that anyone would be turned away from a club JUST due to the lack of a belt!

@skibum609 your IRL attire sounds a lot like MY IRL attire! :)

@Hank Moody Thanks...I can take a look at those brands and see if there's anything of interest... :)

Listen to your mother, and always wear clean underwear!

^Everyone wishes yours had gone to the DNC for a free abortion and hysterectomy.

^ This is where you want to go weirdo, You’re a sick person looking to start fighting first thing in the morning, I bet you were awake all night trying to think of nasty stuff to say. We all know that you are a little bitch.

You said you don't start, but you did because you are a liar, a hypocrit, and my little bitch. I own your retirement, I live in your head. You are obsessed with me because you have nothing else in your life. Ignore me and you will be ignored. Keep up your obsession with me and I will keep feeding you your own medicine.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

^ weird little bitch, I pity you fool.

^ Name calling and small dick energy again

Haggar, Wrangler, Under Armour (and probably many more) all make pants with elastic waste bands. Just buy a bunch off of amazon and return the ones you don't like. Also, if they run too baggy, just have a tailor slim them down; they aren't just for stylin suits.

“For wider feet there is no better footwear than Asics.”

Hmm interesting. Never even heard of that brand. Always been a NB guy. But I like what I saw in their website

Asics shoes are generally narrow.

@twentyfive Absolutely! Clean underwear is a MUST in any situation...

Just wait, someone is going to start an underwear recommendation thread any day now... :)

@blahblahblahs I thought about doing something just like that, but if I ordered 30 items, odds are that I'd be returning all 30... :( Using a tailor could be an option, though, if the elastic waist is really good, and the only problem is just the way they fit otherwise. Thanks!

One brand I forgot mention in my first post but was reminded when I pulled them on today is 14th and Union. I wear them to the office but the pair I have on today would also be good club pants. They have button closures on the back pockets (I like to keep VIP cash separately) and are pretty light. Anyway, they also have a drawstring sewn inside the waist. I don’t use it, but you could cinch it up if not wearing a belt.

An odd thread for me to comment on as I have no interest in “strip club clothing”. I dress for function and as far as belts go, I mostly use belts designed for travel. I have several of varying brands but this is the one I mostly wear.:

pacsafe.com

It has no metal so no need to strip down at airports and while I rarely use the money belt aspect it is nice to have. Germaine to this post it is a cinch belt so it always fits perfectly. The “buckle” is a small smooth plastic piece that cinches down and has never failed. It can be opened with a quick flick of the finger. I’m sure it won’t irritate your overhanging belly fat.

For pants take a look at Kuhl brand. They have several styles and colors. They are light weight, smooth to the touch, thin and amazingly durable. Good enough appearance to pass for business casual.

@Hank Moody Thanks! I’m actually going to be checking out all of your brand recommendations in a couple of days, when I’ll have a bit more uninterrupted time to devote to product research. The drawstring sounds like an interesting option, so thanks again!

@BabyDoc Thanks, I’ll check out your recommendations! I also am not interested in “strip club clothing”, hence the title of the thread including the phrase “life in general”… :)

Take a look at Haband pants. They have every day use pants with a full elastic waist. The company is located in New Jersey.

@WiseToo Thank you!! I will check them out as well!

Ever notice the trend that business casual has taken over corporate dress. Even at the highest level. Who wears suits anymore? Maybe lawyers? Wall Street investment bankers? Even news people often are ditching ties for open collared shirt and jackets.

What? What is the proper way to wear a suit? Most men i see wearing suits, are wearing them properly… what is your background to make such a comment? Youre assuming the proper way to wear a suit is the pimp style, when that is actually the fringe way of wearing one
