Hey, I’m a pretty easy-going chick.
I’m not even saying that as a please-believe-me-seriously-I-am-so-chill-can’t-you-see-how-chill-I-am kind of girl. I’m also not “not like most girls”— I’m totally like most girls.
Most girls are awesome. Plus, most of us are pretty relaxed about what dudes don on the daily.
Clean shirt? Well, pretty clean? Cool. Axe? Keep it easy, please. Beard? Cool. Mustache? Eh… just don’t go nuts. I don’t want to go out to dinner with a cartoon character. Finally, please don’t have a facial tattoo— I’m 25. I’m not trying to piss off my parents anymore.
Fashion doesn’t have to be your focus, and what you wear doesn’t have to be a big deal. But sometimes, what you wear can matter a lot. That’s when fashion deal breakers come in.
What do you think are the biggest fashion faux pas for men? Here are the three I hate the most:
1) Socks with sandals.
Dude. You need to pick: Would you like to feel the breeze or have your skin protected from the elements? Just wear sneakers. Lace up. Why do I care? Oh god.
2) Jorts
Hear me out. I don’t have a problem with ugly clothes. Jorts are ugly, and I think most people wear jorts because they are comfortable. I get it. But let’s be real— what kind of pocket potential do you really have with jorts? Cargo pants— often the garment of ridicule— at least offer some serious utility. Jorts are just a destroyed pair of jeans. Cringe
3) Ill-fitting suits
Hey lil buddy. You can invite me to your bar mitzvah, but no: I do not want to grab drinks to hear about the app you are developing. Are you even 21? Actually, I have decent babysitting experience. Can you pass along my contact information to your parents….
Of course, I neglected to mention fedoras, goatees, Ed Hardy, lots of leather, short ties… Shit. Maybe I’m not so easy-going.
