The seven most common fashion mistakes men make

[danohat]

I am guilty of long trousers. But you try finding a perfect fitting pair of brown sweatpants!

 

[Mindfrigg]

what about if you're walking around in your house wearing slippers and socks?

You're kidding right? When that Fashion SWAT Squad comes crashing onto your roof and through your windows..........I think you get the picture...

Then comes the hazmat team...

 

[Mindfrigg]

That is different. Slippers goes with socks and you are inside.

Oh dear sweet Harmony. So naive.

 

[Mindfrigg]

what if it's winter so you wear socks
but you wear sandals because it's a wooden floor and you don't want to get your socks dirty

then you're wearing sandals and socks.

Jeez Louise..let it go ffs!

You're going to hell. Just sayin'.

Polo shirts and chinos. Dress down day chic.

Not formal enough for formal, not casual enough for casual, you just end up looking like a golfer with alzheimer's.

I dress however Tommy Thunders tells me to.

I'll just bet you do.

What I hate to see, Guy's wearing sweaters hung over there shoulders. Either wear it on or ditch it.

 

[Mindfrigg]

A definition of fashion might be "a small group, inventing rules to decide who is in or out of the group, mainly so they can exclude the majority of people, and feel superior to them".

Interestingly, the same definition might be applied to facism...

I've got no time for either of them.

Plus I don't need fashion - I'm married, my wife dresses me.

I get a lot of clothes when people die so.....I'm good.

After reading that it Looks like I've been in a fashion coma for most of my life

 

[Meatwad]

I wear whatever the mood I'm in demands.

 

[Flying_Milkman]

Real men don't care about fashion sense.

I'm 3 pages late - but this is horse crap. Real slobs don't care about fashion sense. Real men sure as heck do.

[Marshall & Moonshine]

501's, t-shirts, maybe a flannel
30 yrs and going strong

 

[garweft]

Yes untucking is BS.

Tucking however..

Feeling strange and slightly turned on.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

I'm always in style. Easy to do and comfortable too, highly recommended

I'll tell ya what I don't get, t-shirts tucked into pants

That's hella weird

 

[poncho]

Well, ya got me there. I s'pose if you look like James Dean you can pull it off

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

Correct!

And if you are talking to REAL men about dress shirts, you don't illustrate your point by showing a lilac shirt (or is that lavender, or violaceous?).

The only true 7 rules of dressing for real men are:
1. Try to wear clean clothes
2. No gut or butt showing eva
3. No 3/4 pants if you are past 30 years old
4. If you are out of the house, wear footwear (unless you are at the beach)
5. Hi Viz is not appropriate for social occasions
6. If you are fat, wear clothes that mask it, not emphasis it (buttons should NEVER look under stress)
7. Trousers should never be tight around your calves (superheroes are exempt from this rule).

cheers

See, I knew we agreed on some stuff. Agreed to all your list, except I have no idea what "Hi Viz" is -- do you mean fluorescent-colored stuff? Or is that a brand name?

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

lol Dave, hope you're wearing a strong helmet!

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

Well, ya got me there. I s'pose if you look like James Dean you can pull it off

You don't need his looks. It's about attitude.
