When it comes to menâs fashion and style, most guys think they are brilliant at picking the right outfit. BUT the truth is, while your homies might tell you that youâre totally rad in your skinny shorts and striped socks, the girls arenât thinking the same!
One of the benefits of a good looking outfit is that it should be attracting the ladies, right? So letâs jump to the girlâs point of view and take a closer look at the most hated menswear. These are the things men should never wear according to the girls.
We have asked 20 style-conscious women, what they are tired of seeing guys wear and what simply is a turn-off. These are only a few things men should never wear. You might be surprised!
1. White Socks â Only for Sport
Too many men spoil good looking outfits by wearing the wrong kind of socks. One of the most frequently violated rules of fashion is wearing white sports socks outside of sporting activities. Itâs just not sexy, guys!
White socks are in general a big NO GO! White socks just donât match most outfits unless youâre rocking white trousers.
The key is: Only combine white socks with sportswear! Never, never, NEVER wear them with your everyday outfit.
2. Socks in Sandals are a BIG NO GO
Well, even though socks and sandals will be the new trend for spring 2017 according to John Varvatos show, girls think itâs a huge turn-off.
Remember, you donât have to go with the flow of every fashion trend. According to the girls, itâs difficult to even comprehend how exactly the socks and sandals combination even came into existence.
You know, itâs quite easy to spot the wrongdoers every summer. Just go to a museum or retail park â any place where there are tourists en masse. Itâs a shocking reality â please guys, donât even go there!
3. Silver Necklaces
Necklaces for men â whatâs the verdict?
Most girls donât like men wearing necklaces at all. Especially silver necklaces and gangster bling in any form!
So if your silver necklace is hanging from your neck and making a statement, then remove it immediately â according to the girls, this is another NO GO.
However, men should only be seen with five main accessories: a nice watch, a cool pair of sunglasses, a good pair of cufflinks, an on-trend bracelet and if heâs married, a simple wedding band.
Why??? Because unless youâre a movie star, rock star or a professional footballer, itâs extremely hard to pull off anything more extravagant than those five pieces.
4. Viking Bracelets, Puka Shells or Shark Tooth Leather Bracelets
Wearing a bracelet is an epic way to up your style game and highlight your outfit (3 good examples below).
BUT wearing a bracelet doesnât mean that you can wear all kind of bracelets!
You guys donât need to avoid writs wear. You just need to think a little harder about what kind you strap on.
Like the Viking bracelet, puka shells or leather bracelet with shark tooth are a total turn-off according to women (pictured below). You maybe think you look cool and laid-back â but really, you donât!
5. Sweatpants Are Not the New Jeans
Yeah, itâs official! This year fall season sweatpants are a must have! Any man who has dreamt of wearing his sweatpants to work will now have a good reason to believe itâs ok to do so.
Before you go there, you just have to know, that there is a fine line between sweatpants and sweats. Sweats should NEVER see the light of day, sweatpants, on the other hand, are tailored, comfortable and can often be mistaken for actual pants. Thereâs the sweet spot!
Still, the women are here to tell you, that sweatpants are not the new jeans.
Itâs true that mainstream fashion designers showed them at fashion week, but wearing sweatpants to work is not the same as wearing them at causal events.
Yeah, they are so comfortable. Itâs possible, however, sometimes it looks a little too comfortable!
6. Running Shoes & Hiking Boots As Everyday Wear
Is it a GO or a NO GO to wear running shoes and hiking boots causally?
From the girlâs point of view, running shoes or hiking boots with jeans are a donât and a true fashion disaster. Guys, please just donât!
Running shoes are made for running. Hiking boots are made for people who like hiking.
Some men donât get that athletic shoes are made for athletic wear and arenât substitute for casual shoes. Remember, you canât compare running shoes with sneakers from brands like Nike and Adidas.
Sneakers are totally GRAND, and epic to pull off for your everyday wear and causal events or if youâre rocking the hipster, street style â but NOT athletic shoes!
7. Belts with Big Buckles
Easy⊠Donât wear big belt buckles, unless youâre a cowboy!
Still, wearing a belt is something most men are accustomed to and itâs an accessory that adds an edge to your look in a sophisticated and simple way.
3 tips to picking the right belt:
-
Match the belt and pants with the formality.
-
The belt and shoes should be of the same colour (black with black, brown with brown, blue with blue, and so on).
-
The belt material should match the shoe material (leather with leather, suede with suede, canvas with canvas, and so on).
8. Cargo Pants “Goodbye Professor”
Cargo pants are super casual and actually rad! BUT according to girls, some men make awful mistakes when it comes to cargo pants.
NEVER ever wear these pants with shirts, blazers, suit jackets or dress shoes such as Oxfords. Instead wear these casual pants with sweaters, t-shirts, leather jacket and sneakers or boots.
Also from the girlâs and a style point of view, the cargo pocket should NEVER be used!
And if your cargo pants include zipper NEVER turn them into shorts.
9. NO CROOOOOOCS!
If there is one thing, which is guaranteed to drive a women screaming in the wrong direction, itâs the sight of a man who should know better than to be sporting a pair of crocs.
According to the girls, no women should be expected to live with a man, who wear Crocs. Ok, if she really loves him, yes, allow the man to wear the crocs in the shed. Only in the shed. Never in the house!
