Do only naturally skinny or anorexic men shop at Topman?
I went for a mooch around there today for the first time in ages, and was stunned to see that the only sizes in most tops on display were XXS XS and S
![]() I thought it was just the 2 things I looked at, so I checked out a few more items and noticed it was the norm. Is this a common thing for Topman? |

Replace skinny with 'moron students who all dress the same and have zero imagination when it comes to dressing themselves'
Im a student and cant stand these topman boys you see everywhere. |

I don't shop there. I am obese by their standards. Crappy Burtons also sell loads of manorexic clothing.

They sound like the opposite of TopShop - all I can ever find in there are sizes 12+.
I hate having to ask them to look out the back for something just so I can try it on. Strangely, when I decide not to buy them, they take them back out to the stockroom afterwards instead of putting them on a shelf what's that all about? Are size 8's banned now?

I know what you mean, my exboyfriend is one of the skinniest guys I know and he has to take size medium
so I'd be very worried to see some of these XXS men.

i have one friend who shops there, and he's pretty tall and skinny - but not freakishly so.
perhaps that was all you could find on display because all the other sizes had already been bought? (what? it's possible... )

Is an adult male who fits an XXS actually classed as an adult male? I couldn't imagine dating someone so skinny , it'd put me right off. Topman looks like it's for students

I always found Topshop clothes only good until the first wash ie one wear. Stopped going there years ago as I would rather pay a bit more for a garment that's going to last me several months at least.

Topman clothes are known for being smaller than the average high street size. For example, I get an XL size polo shirt in Burtons or River Island, but in Topman, an XL goes no-where near!
Topman is the "young mans" store which would indicate why it looks studenty, however, alot of the clothes are pretty dire and "try too hard" if you get me... |

I'm not skinny by any means - I'm a 30 inch waist, 38 chest and about 10.5 stone - but find 's' fits me perfectly, particularly their shirts. XXS is designed for 32-34 inch chests - so this size is probably aimed at teenagers.

I shop in Topman all the time and although a student I am far from a "moron" student thankyou very much.
And in answer to op, I'm a size M so definatley not anorexic- I think the people who like the style sold in Topman tend to be thinner anyway. Its just like you very rarely see a thin woman in, say, Evans? But no, I'm sure if you'll look hard enough you'll find a Topman garment in a size larger than S- I know I can. |

I used to buy stuff in there when I was younger (in my teens) they did some good clothes, but they weren't skinny. probably cos skinny wasn't fashionable back then.

Theres nowt wrong with Topman. I am 33 and still shop there. Granted, most of the stuff is not to my taste but I still go there for well cut reasonably priced jeans and I also love their chunky cardigans at this time of year. Nobody my age could get their entire wardrobe from Topman but you can still get away with some bits and pieces from there. I also shop at H&M, Zara and River Island.
