We all make fashion errors now and again, but some fashion mistakes made by men are just unforgivable and downright illegal. Based on personal experience, I have outlined eight fashion mistakes to avoid at all costs. Socks with Sandals – Now who determined that this was acceptable in the first place? Living in the Northwest, I am regrettably confronted with some of the worst offenders of this major fashion don’t. I realize that when it is unpleasantly cold outside, we all daydream about the warmth of the summer sunshine, but sporting socks with sandals doesn’t make the seasons transform any quicker. If you would like to put on sandals this badly, travel to a hotter environment. Novelty Ties, Shirts, Boxer Shorts, Etc. – Just say no. There is nothing enduring about novelty clothing nor does it project a stylish, put together image. Leave the smiley faces, hearts, shamrocks, animal and various other prints on the racks of the store where you found them. Blaring Designer Labels – This is a peculiar favorite annoyance. I don’t fancy being a walking billboard and neither must you. It’s not a sophisticated look. Just because you are donning a designer’s label on your chest, sleeve, or anywhere, doesn’t make you stylish. Keep it understated and simple. Backpacks at the Office – I work in an exceptionally expensive apartment building in New York, occupied with lawyers and other professional sorts, and it never ceases to surprise how many men wearing nice suits are schlepping backpacks. Unless you are a student or are climbing up a mountain, abandon the knapsack at home. If you need something for your gym clothes, buy a nice looking gym bag (and there are options that don’t have big logos on them), or if you need something to hold your various documents, cell phone, day-planner, etc., get a nice messenger bag. Thick Shoes – These were okay back in the 90s, but the large chunky shoes, especially those with square toes, should be pensioned off at this point in time. Pick something traditional that stands the test of time. Shiny or Glittery Shirts and Suits – If you are looking for something to go out nightclubbing in, I can imagine much improved choices than those that are glittery, shiny and ultimately tacky. If you are stuck, try a form fitting black t-shirt or black dress shirt which can be worn with jeans or trousers and dress shoes or casual shoes. Clothes That Are Too Loose Fitting – In a word, shoddy. Except if you are a hip hop performer, it’s not the right look. Pick clothes that suit your body. This might take some experimentation by combiming and matching particular cuts and designs until you find the right fit for your body that is flattering. Unflattering Colors – That gorgeous blue cashmere pullover you found selling at knockdown prices after Christmas at your local retailer might be really tempting, but if it makes you look bad, it’s no bargain. The colors you wear should compliment your natural features such as your eye color, skin tone and body shape. Keep this in mind when putting your look together.
