Male Fashion Blunders

Be it right or wrong, men are commonly considered to be less fashion conscious than women. For There are some incredibly obvious fashion mistakes from men, and we’ve detailed just a few of them for you. We can’t go on without mentioning the socks and sandals combination and, equally, the mullet. Socks and sandals is widely considered a huge fashion “no no” in practically any circumstance you can imagine. Moreover, you can’t honestly claim that the weather is so uncertain to ever justify this look. With the mullet, there has never been a more epic fail in terms of a man’s individual style or “fashion”.

Trousers too short/too long: Hemlines on trousers should rest on the laces of your shoes, causing a slight crease in the front of the seam (or if you’re wearing loafers, where your laces would be), when stood “at ease” with your feet shoulder length apart, bent slightly.

Blazer Jacket and jeans: Leading men’s fashion designer and Saville Row tailor, Ozwald Boateng gives his take on the jeans/jacket combo, and says while the blazer should “never look like an adopted suit jacket” darker jeans in general work better, in most cases. Colours/tones should always be complementary, so look at do’s and don’ts yourself if you’re unsure. When this look goes wrong, you could end up looking like a poor man’s Jeremy Clarkson.

Novelty ties: It’s OK to like Homer Simpson, of course it is. Also, you could probably impress a potential partner if you can play the piano. To depict either on a tie, however, is fashion suicide. Avoid at all costs. The same goes for novelty socks and, in particular, “Christmas socks” adorned with pictures of a loveable (but in no way fashionable) red nosed reindeer!

Suit label on the sleeve: Carefully and quickly, remove this. Even though may have been “hand stitched” by Calvin Klein himself, he would quickly turn a pale shade of green at if he found out you kept it there.
