The new kit for bruisers isn't quite as new as you'd think
. So too did the straining white T-shirt that was purpose-built to choke it. But for all the Herculean workouts, and for all the gains gains gains, the muscle fit was never particularly flattering. To flaunt doesn't mean to asphyxiate. To see every ripple of flesh in lycra-laced denim is not particularly sexy. In fact, there's something uniquely and horrifically satyric about it.
We all make mistakes. As The Culture's understanding of menswear evolved and developed, universal taste has improved in recent years. A blessing! You can still get muscle fit stuff. And if that's what you're into, then play on, player. But big strapping boys of today have gone for the more classic gear of the big strapping boys of yore. Trousers, loafers, and, yes, knitted polo shirts.
It makes sense. With a close cut that skims arms and pecs, it gives the outline of hard-won muscles but doesn't totally shatter the power and romance of imagination. It fits just right. And while a hardcore gym regime should be more about MIND AND SOUL than it is BODY AND THIRST, you're well within your rights to be proud of the gruelling results. But just know that where the muscle fit is a show off, the knitted polo is a showman.
Just like all the men who made it famous in the first place. Think of Dickie Greenleaf, the playboy on a perma-holiday with a trunk full of knitted polos. There's Tom Buchanan, the old money villain of. Sean Connery during his tenure for Her Majesty's Secret Service. And, of course, a psychotic Evans inon a scale between 'brooding' and 'absolute menace', and all are annoyingly in-shape. Which makes you think: perhaps the knitted polo was the original muscle fit all along.
