What do you wear to bowl comfortably?

[SmilingBowler]

I see a variety of different styles, fashion statements even, at the lanes. Some guys only bowl in shorts, some wear long sleeves, some wear jeans, some only wear slacks.

Recently I started wearing slacks during practice because I plan to wear slacks at States in May. They allow me to bend more at the knees and get lower as I release the ball. Typically I wear loose-fitting denim jeans and a slightly oversized tshirt so allows room to have my full swing without gathering material around the shoulder.

I've bowled in shorts. In fact, my lifetime high 689 series (and 279 game - same night) were bowled in shorts and a tshirt. But I usually start wearing jeans when the weather gets colder. Others wear shorts no matter what the weather is. LOL!

I'm curious what you wear, comfortably, when you bowl.

Shorts and a athletic material shirt like under armor

Earlier this year I went to slacks. It was really an accident. I wear them to coach and bowled after a session. I was amazed at how much easier and relaxed my form was. I use to wear shorts, jeans and t-shirts. Now it's slacks with a team shirt or coaching shirt.
I will probably go back to shorts this summer but instead of jean shorts wear khaki shorts. I will still wear the team or coaching shirts instead of t-shirts or tank tops though as I look more professional with my tats covered up.

Living in Illinois, I still wear shorts, even in the winter time, and a Nike shirt.

I've probably bowled more games in my military uniform than anything else since I bowl either during my lunch hour or after I'm off work. Otherwise it's jeans or athletic wear.

Thank you for your service JBeck, and thanks to all the active duty, former, and retired military members here on the bowling boards.

I echo this gratitude for all who've served to defend our rights and freedoms.
It is always an honor to connect with many military men and women, any way possible.

Bowling in uniform must suck. I hope you take your BDU jacket off at least.
For fun you should try bowling in full gear, including rucksack and LCE. It would be a decent workout.

I'm a creature of habit; so I virtually wear the same thing to bowl (practice and league). I wear a pair of shorts, t-shirt and more times than not my Red Wings hat.
