Top 10 Fashion And Style Mistakes That Most Men Make

I like to talk a long walk from time to time; just to clear my head, breathe in some fresh air, admire innovative architecture and buildings, scope out some pretty, well-dressed ladies, and generally enjoy nature and the world we live in.
But…there are some sights I see that make me cringe and shake my head in pity; NO. 1 on my list is poorly dressed men who make terrible fashion blunders and you would be surprised at the kind of things some guys actually think they look stylish in.
I watched a man getting out of a range rover just the other day, and judging by the car I expected him to be a well-dressed, classy gentleman. But boy was I surprised.
He had on a red and white stripped pair of super tight trousers, which he combined with a purple dress shirt, and a designer belt with a buckle the size of my fist. I mean how flashy and tacky can you get. Even the colour combo wasn’t nice.
And don’t get me started with all the accessories he had on. These kinds of outfits and dress combos aren’t so easy on the eyes, and they are most likely sabotaging your efforts at making good first impressions when you meet people. No wonder why beautiful girls are rejecting you when you approach them.
As your go to source for the best self – improvement and female relations advice, I decided to compile this list of some of the most common and tacky looking fashion mistakes that make you look as attractive as a rabid monkey, wearing a clown costume.
There are so many of them that it was hard to know where to start from with this list.  But by avoiding the following outfit blunders at all costs, you should always look your best.
Now with that being said, here are my top 10 fashion and style mistakes that every attractive guy should avoid.

• Dress your age. This one is self-explanatory. If you’re still young (late teens/ early twenties) then walking around in Converse all-stars with a slogan t-shirt is still acceptable. Any older than that and you really need a style upgrade.

• Wearing clothes that don’t fit properly. Overly baggy clothes will make you look mal-nourished, like you are wearing hand- me downs or, like you so are so broke that you have to buy clothes you’ll use for the next 3 years.  Likewise extremely tight clothes are a no – no as well. So when in doubt, visit the tailors and find your measurements and have ill-fitting clothes tailored to suit you well.

• Dirty shoes. It’s something that men seem to overlook all the time. Women spend a large portion of their money on nice looking shoes, so they won’t take lightly to guys who wear warped, dirty and tattered looking shoes. And besides, a stylish man should keep his shoes cleaned and polished all the time.

• Belt color not matching shoe color. This is one you might not have heard before. If you’re wearing dress shoes, make sure the color of your belt matches the color of your dress shoes. Black shoes, black belt. Brown shoes, brown belt. Easy! Also the finish of the shoes and belt need to match. If your shoes are shiny, your belt should be shiny too and vice versa.

• Suspenders and A belt at the same time. You know, I shouldn’t even have to add this one. Any guy with half a brain should know you shouldn’t wear both suspenders and a belt together. So unless you are going for a really comical and stupid look then please stick to just one at a time.

• Wrinkled clothing. Buy a steam iron and use it. You really don’t want to look scruffy and unkempt, so keep all your clothes ironed and straightened. It’s also a good habit to hang up your clothes rather than throwing them on the floor after use.

• Wearing sweatpants in public. Unless you’re going to the gym, avoid wearing sweatpants and other gym wear in public. It makes you look lazy and irresponsible, and no well-dressed and respectable lady or man will take you seriously in them. You can do so much better with a nice fitting T – shirt with casual jeans or shorts.

• Too many logos. I’m a huge fan of Nike and a lot of other name brands like that; but by wearing some of clothes, you just give them a lot of free advertising. I laugh when I see a guy wearing a Nike Shirt, Nike slides, Nike baseball cap; while carrying a Nike backpack. The guy is practically a walking billboard. As an alpha everything thing you wear should promote and enhance you, and not some brand or company.

• Socks and sandals / slippers: This is has not, is not and I doubt will ever be sexy or attractive.

• Tucking In T-Shirts: Tucking in your polo shirt is okay, but t- shirts are meant to stay outside your trouser. If you feel your shirt is too long, then you’re probably wearing something over-sized.

That’s 10 already, but let me just add one more as a bonus.

• Mixing too many patterns and prints. Whether you’re wearing casual or dressy clothing, avoid mixing too many patterns or prints together. If you to wear something like a floral patterned shirt, then you should make the jacket and trousers as plain coloured as possible. The reverse is also true when wearing a noisy jacket or trousers.

Even though there are some basic fashion guidelines, there’s no hard and fast rule about what you must wear. I’m sure there are a few more mistakes I didn’t touch on, so if you know any more, leaving them in the comments below will be much appreciated.
