Everybody has their own styles.
For shirts, here is generally how I judge sizes. I'm 5'11 145 ( from a naturally thinner family )
I wouldn't say I'm ripped, but I lift a bit, and I'm not scrawny in any way.
My general rule of thumb that I learned from a friend was to check where the seam on the shoulders comes in. It should line up directly over your shoulderblade, and shouldn't look slanted when wearing around. If it's straight, and over the top of your shoulder, it fits, if not, it's too big. If it's too far up on the shoulder, it's generally small. That rule has always worked really well for me.
I do notice that alot of the hiphop inspired clothes are supposed to be worn big. I respect that, but it just is kinda pointless. You can't walk around anywhere without tripping over your clothes, and I feel like i'm swimming in my shirt.
Another thing that's bad about wearing clothes that are too big, is that it generally makes you look fat and frumpy instead of normal. ( courtesy of my girlfriend..... who is incessant about how to dress... )
