Hey guys, I have the weirdest body ever, I'm athletic, I run for school and do some upper body workouts too (pull ups, push ups, all body weight stuff, nothing too major).
I'm 5'6'' so I'm short. My upper body is kind of small. I have defined pecs and arms. My chest probably measures a 36''. My waist is tiny, I usually look for 28'' but honestly I could probably fit a 26''. It's hard to find good fitting shirts (the chest usualy fits alright but the stomach area feels like a dress thats too big lol).
Now Normally, this wouldnt be THAT bad. But I dunno why but the muscles in my lower body are predispositioned to being buff or something. I'm not even a sprinter or anything, I'm a long distance runner (think 10+ mile runs) and usually they have skinnier legs. My quads and ass are pretty big and look disproportionate to my upper body. My calves are also pretty big but theyre not really a problem.
So what types of clothes should I be looking for?? All suggestions would be great. I currently only have 2 pairs of jeans that I like. One is a pair of 29x30 Levi's 511s soft rigid (i think its soft rigid), they used to fit horribly but I dont wash them very much so they shifted to fit my body I guess. I like them alot. And I have a pair of black stretch Levi's 514s that are 29x30 that are great when I wear them once in a while, but they really only look GOOD after a wash/dry (theyre alittle too stretched out otherwise). I need shirt suggestions badly! Ty in advance.

Only advice I can give is this: just go out and try different things on at the stores, and fit it within your own style.

We're like identical. Same height, chest, waist (I'm a little wider :S), and I got the thunder thighs going. I have a pair of 514s that I love. Basically I look for anything that's cut "slim" and it works. Just stay away from skinny jeans and it isn't really a big deal.
As for shirts, I shop around a little for stuff that fits, but I don't really have a problem with them. Why do you need help with shirts?

Look for slim cuts. And with jeans make sure you get a size that isn't too bagggy. I'd suggest you start looking up what is a good fit. This will help you a load, since you know your body best. try this site for starters: www.styleforum.netEnjoi

If you feel like a medium fits you comfortably, then you should definitely wear the small! You need to show off that hotness!
