We have witnessed men over and again become fashion offenders without them actually noticing it. Even our closest male friends sometimes commit several fashion mistakes that are actually too common to simply ignore. If you are guilty of committing these basic crimes of fashion, here are a few suggestions that will help you rise above the occasion and side step all .
Wearing Socks with Open-toe Footwear
Whoever said that wearing socks, white at that, with sandals or any open-toe footwear is cool? Sure, it may be comfortable but a sad reality is that comfort has often nothing to do with fashion. It really comes down to whether you want to sacrifice comfort to look good or vice versa.
The good news is, no matter how tight your budget is, it is possible to find shoes that are both chic and comfy. A little time spent looking for the shoe that straddles form and function will keep you feeling as good as you look.
Wearing White Socks with Dark Pants
Another common sock disaster is wearing white socks while wearing black, navy or any other dark colored trousers. Wearing socks that significantly differ in color from the top clothing items divert the attention to the socks when everyone should be appreciating the overall coordinated look.
The basic rule is that the color of the socks must be within the same shade or darker than the trousers. This will give an illusion of continuity.
Wearing Ties That Dont Match
Yes, there is a thing called: suit and tie matching. In several occasions, men spend time carefully choosing their shirt for the day but grab the first tie that they can from their closet. It does not mean that when a necktie is in plain color, it can already match any kind of shirt.
The colors, the designs and even the length are some of the basic factors that need to be considered to ensure that a good shirt-tie match is achieved.
Overdoing the Bling-Thing
The secret to a classy appeal is keeping it simple. Overdoing the accessories will make you look like a fully-adorned Christmas tree.
Keeping the jewelry, to a minimum is always a good idea. A watch, a ring and a pair of cufflinks can give any outfit an edge without detracting from the overall look and hogging all the attention.
Wearing Clothes That Dont Fit
It never flatters anyones figure to wear clothes that are either too tight or too loose. Settling for a size that is smaller or larger just because the store does not have the correct size is not the brightest of ideas. It is also not advisable to buy clothes now and wish that a planned weight loss or weight gain will make things better.
When buying clothes, buy something that gives is a perfect fit right now!
