Polo shirts with khakis and gym shoes- this is a great look if you work at Best Buy, CompUSA, or Target, but otherwise don't do it. I used to work at a place where this was the uniform for trade shows, and I tell you, I felt like an N-E-R-D everytime I suited up. Yes, I like computers, no, I don't want to look like I work on them for a living.

Jeans with no belt- Just stop. Really.

I'll let you guys come up with some more.

Ok..what's the problem with this?

I hate belts..I really do..if the stuff doesn't fit I don't wear it

Shorts that are above the knee on men.

UGH

Depends on how short. If you are a guy sporting OP's Magnum P.I. style then I'd agree, but honestly I hate shorts that go past the knee, you might as well wear capri pants.

I hate the whole sideways baseball cap thing. Especially on suburban white teenagers.

Did you know the whole wearing your pants down around your butt with no belt is derivative of jail house fashion? They take your belt away in jail so you can't hang yourself and wearing your pants that way is a way of insinuating that you've been on the "inside"

I say shorts, period. For anyone past puberty. Girls: dresses and skirts serve the same purpose and are a thousand times more attractive. Guys: the extent that you will look better in pants (no pleats) will make up for the fact that you may be a bit warmer than you would be in shorts

Also: flip-flops. Maybe for the beach or hanging around the house. They are not for the subway or the grocery store. This is gross.

If you need a belt with your jeans, they're too big. Give them to the Salvation Army and buy a pair that fits you.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt though as I am a FREAK about clothes. I could seriously go on for fifteen paragraphs on this topic.

In the summer, I wear flipflops everywhere. And shorts too.

So sue me!

Ah, you and much of America. I will not sue, I will just quietly judge superficially and shallow-ly.

Shorts that go to the ankles....

I love shorts. I wear them 6 months a year.

what kills me is people who wear flip flops into public restrooms.

yuck.

pedro · 03-03-2006, 05:30 PM

I don't really like sandals on guys.

max venable · 03-03-2006, 05:30 PM

My pastor never, and I mean never, wears socks. Even when he preaches on Sunday mornings...no socks. Weird but that's just him. He's a very cool guy with little fashion sense.

It bothers me when I see teenagers wearing flip flops in Ohio. In the dead of winter. Someone ought to slap these kids.

KronoRed · 03-03-2006, 05:33 PM

Black socks with shorts

Red Leader · 03-03-2006, 05:35 PM

I get annoyed with the whole "double polo," or layed polo look. Dude, if one polo isn't warm enough for you, put on a jacket.
