Things Men Shouldn’t [Ever] Wear

Ever hear the phrase, “the clothes don’t make the man”? This may be true but there are some men who get this totally wrong. I don’t expect a guy to be a GQ centerfold, however, it doesn’t hurt to use clothing to highlight your attractiveness. A woman can definitely help a man dress, for those who don’t listen or don’t have that sort of help, some end up wearing useless, ugly garments and accessories that should be banned, locked up and torched. Some guys even wear what is listed below as if they are the latest fashion trend - so sad. Poor guys can be fashion disasters without even realizing.

Here we go. Men, do not, I repeat DO NOT wear…

Denim shirts – At work we have a closet full of promotional materials as well as logoed shirts, etc. you get the idea. Anyway, I opened the one closet and out poured light wash denim shirts. You all know exactly what I am talking about. Why might I ask do men think that this is a good look? It is not the 80’s anymore. My favorite is when guys wear button up jean shirts and jean pants; it is like a jean onesie for an adult. Please, do not wear button up denim shirts and especially no cutoff-sleeve jean jackets. It is not a good look.

Track suits/jogging suits: You know who should be wearing jogging suits? People who are jogging – even then it is questionable. When I see these, it screams grandma/grandpa or the Sopranos.

Hawaiian Shirts: I have not seen a single man who looks good in one of these. Usually I picture a man wearing one of these who has a bit of a beer gut and one of the buttons is usually about to bust. These are the perfect shirts for a luau, BBQ party or a weekend getaway to the beach, ONLY if you are about 55+ and living on an exotic island with lots of sand and palm trees. If you are any younger and do not live on an exotic, sandy beach, I advise you to light it with your tiki torch.

Saggy pants: I cannot stand this “look”. I do not want to see anyone’s underwear with their entire ass sticking out. It is even worse when you see someone’s boxers, basketball shorts, etc. and then their saggy jeans with a belt on. Clearly the belt is not helping. Don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t want a guy to have tight skinny jeans either, there needs to be a happy medium, find jeans that are the perfect fit where you don’t necessarily need a belt to hold them up.

Turtlenecks: The only man who could sport a turtle neck is Steve Jobs. Is it too harsh to say that turtle necks tend to give off the super creep vibe? There is a reason that turtle necks haven’t made a comeback, there is no way any designer can make these look good and fashionable. Don’t even think about it.
