    I personally wear short shorts like professional badminton players and t shirts/polos that have sleeves no longer than half of my bicep.


    Sometimes I see good players wearing long shorts/shirts which looks really annoying.

    On the outside of my body :D

    Generally comfortable is best and in that case it doesn't matter what you wear as long as it fits the purpose it is required for.

    I'm still in that phase that I thinking just looking at short shorts is uncomfortable for me haha, although I know it serves a good purpose. But personally, I wear anything that's not too loose and not too constricting. Loose bball shorts or sometimes shorter shorts about above knee length. As for shirts, any white tshirts will do for me, except for the undershits because they're a little too tight and constricts on the arm movement.

    All my clothes are yonex short shorts and yonex/gosen/blacknight polos or t-shirts.
    I have a few gosen and blacknight long sleeve warm up shirts.
    Plus a couple of yonex track suits and warm up jackets.
    I actually have a dedicated closet to badminton clothes.

    but i don't care if people wear long shorts and dirty beer shirts. It doesn't annoy me. :cool:

    I played in a suit once. I took the jacket off and it was still little constricting but classy ;)

    I wear anything that's pretty much comfortable to wear. I don't want any skin type clothing or anything that's just too big. i like my shorts level with or a bit above my knees. Nothing too short because then I wouldn't feel comfortable. If my shorts are too long, then they restrict my movement. I'm picky about my clothes...they need to match and be the right size...

    i usually wear basketball shorts just below the hip and below the knee in length, its more comfortable for me since the waist band isn't hugging that tight. as for a shirt, any will do as long as it isn't too big where its baggy so that its below my elbow or getting in the way of a swing

    I wear the least expensive crew-neck coton shirts (US$12.50 for 4 shirts of different colours) and cotton shorts (US$3 each) or polyester shorts (US$3 each, in air-conditioned courts). I used to wear the more expensive Yonex or Nike shirts but I find my present "cheapies" much more comfortable. Eventually, I gave away my Yonoex and Nike stuff to friends who did not mind having them. :D

    In Malaysia it may be okay ... elsewhere, it's hmmm, "impolite"? Sibu is king to the "kampua" noodle dish! :D

    as for me used to wear basketball shorts, well it didnt look to nice on court. i also couldn't lunge properly.

    switched to using speedo beach shorts (those that dry out quickly) but i find them too "flappy" (for the lack of a better term)

    using a Chao Pai, short shorts now. the fabric used stretches! :) I'm very comfortable with it now.

    i've used only dri-fit and climalite/cool shirts. I now have a Mizuno sports shirt. Similar to the other "technologically advance" shirts.
