Fashion - what not to do



Fashion is a big topic so obviously it's impossible to cover in a single post. I thought I would post some of the most important (in my eyes) mistakes made by men in regards to fashion that I notice. I am personally a very conservative dresser. I like outfits that never go out of style. Therefore I am a skinny jeans hater, but each to their own.

1. Wearing cross trainers or running shoes with jeans - just look at the people who do this and you should be able to figure this one out. A good example of this are those ugly fat white NB shoes you see some people wear. A great way to let everyone know you only own a single pair of shoes. Leave cross trainers and runners for the gym.

2. White shoes with dark blue jeans - not necessarily that bad. It can look good if you're wearing a bright/light coloured top but it's just not very versatile. It's a difficult look to pull off. Keep it simple and buy some darker shoes.

3. Backpack with conservative dress - I see this a lot. Save the backpacks for when you're a kid or for the casual dress. Buy a nice messenger bag for a more mature look.

4. Skinny jeans - I mentioned before that I hate skinny jeans. I'm not going to simply dismiss them as being awful because I know so many people love them, but don't wear them unless you have thin legs. The moment you can see your calves through your jeans is the moment you know they're too tight.

5. Monocolour outfits - the key to fashion is contrast. If you're wearing black jeans, wear a bright/light coloured t-shirt. If you're wearing a patterned shirt wear a plain tie. Etc, etc.

Those are the 5 biggest things I wanted to comment on. I could go on and talk about other things like socks and sandles but those are obvious things and would probably insult your intelligence if I was to talk about them.
