So on my daily computer raid..I guess I can call it that. I was looking on the Yahoo homepage and they had a story about the 10 most hated style choices for men. And I agreed with pretty much all of them
1. Ed Hardy...
I can't stand Ed Hardy. Whenever I see it I think of Jon Gosslin. It makes the whimpy men who wear it think they're tough because they have all these flames and skulls all over their shirts in really bright neon colors that suposeddly "attract the eye" yea....
Sorry. I didnt think the picture was going to be THIS big. But do you see what I mean?
2.Baggy or saggy jeans.
Yes. I hate them. Pull your pants up. I dont care if they are loose around the leg but around the butt area, that's a different story. Why can't girls wear their jeans below their butts to show off their underwear? I mean our underwear is probably a lot cuter.
The picture explains it all.
3.Socks with sandals.
What's the point. That's all I have to say.
4.Speedos
Again, what's the point. To show off your lean muscular buns and thighs? I think no. I would walk away from any guy who came up to me in a speedo.
This picture counts for the speedo and fanny pack. I didnt think that you could combine both of them...well ya learn something new everyday.
5.Fanny packs
Why not just get a satchel to make it even worse?
6.Skinny jeans
Now this one, I do not completely agree with. Some people, yes, they look so stupid and do not fit their body. But some guys really do look good in them. I'm against the super tight ones that you wonder if they painted them on or it's some sort of saran rap covering their freakishly skinny legs.
Skinny enough for ya?
7. White under shirts
Wife beaters, muscle shirts, cut offs, what ever you call them, they're still white trash!
p.s. They are called undershirts for a reason....they go under a shirt..
My point excactly.
8. Too much jewlery
Why do guys need jewelry? Maybe a watch or a small necklace that usually goes under your shirt and it not visible. But chains and bedazzled belts and rings on every finger look cheap and tacky.
9. Baseball hats
Again..why? I don't agree with this one as well. Some people can pull off the baseball cap. Some people don't. It works on younger guys not old men who wear then just to cover there little patch of baldness coming in.
wow.
10.Clothing that is too big or doesnt fit properly
When does it ever look good? Last time I walked by a guy in pants the drug behind him like a wedding dress train and a cuttoff tee that showed his "happy trail" that he must be proud of, I didnt do a double take and say DAMNNN. he's a keeper. I did a double take and said DAMN. what is he wearing?
Again..the speedo/fanny pack picture kinda says it all with the old man's half shirt.
Now for the top 10 things guys wear!
1.Vintage band shirts
I think that vintage bad shirts are so cool looking. But make sure you actually listen to the band and you didnt jsut buy the shirt because you thought you looked cool. The shirt could be a really nice conversation starter. But if you don't know anything about the band then you look pretty stupid.
2.V-necks
The v-neck is probably one of the cutest things a guy could wear. No guy can go wrong with a vneck. They come in so many different colors. Jeez you can even buy 10 packs of them from target for like $8.
3.Interesting shoes or sneakers
If you dress in a pair of really unique or original shoes it shows that you care about what you wear. You took time to find those shoes and made sure that they are totally you.
4.Collared shirts
If you wear a collared shirt, it makes you look put together. A nice crisp cotton button down with a pair of dark jeans and cool sneaks and maybe a pair of sunglasses will look great. They make you look like you wanted to wake up this morning. It may even fool people into thinking that you shower regularly.
5.Vintage sunglasses
Many guys don't wear sunglasses. They choose to squint and suffer. I mean people are always like "but then you can't see their eyes!" Who cares? They look really cool on some guys. Some Ray Bans or a cool pair from Urban Outfitters will work well on all guys.
6.Homemade/braided braclets
They look really cool on a lot of guys, especially on a tan arm hahaha anyways, if you handmade them even better! Makes them all the more unique.
7.A bookbag
In place of your "satchel", "manbag", "murse", "carry all" or your "imported italian leather holder". Just buy a cool looking backpack. and carry all of your belongings that you have to have with you.
8.Belt
Keep the pants up. I hate the skateboarders who use a shoelace to hold their pants below their butt. like really? I dont think a belt is that expensive. But then I went to pac sun and realized that the pants come with the shoelace as a belt. I guess they think that it's okay to wear the shoelace since it comes with the jeans?
No more Hollister and Abercrombie ripped bleached white ugly jeans. Let's go out and buy some jeans that actually fit around the waist that have no holes in them and are a dark wash..they flatter everyone. Maybe while you're there look for a belt.
10.Shorts.
Guys need to wear shorts in the summer. Some guys think it's cool to wear jeans..I mean yes every once in a while it's okay but just because you have those special $50 rips in your jeans does not make them the 4 seasons jeans. Any type of shorts are nice. Even plaid. But if you wear the plaid shorts. Don't wear another print on top! Thanks.
Yea so those are the top 10 and the worst 10 things guys wear!!

OH GOD NO! Not all guys can wear V-necks, especially if they are really hairy. Let's just not go there.
ReplyDeleteThat collared shirt did not have a collar. Ah I felt like you generalized a lot, I know a ton of guys that cannot pull some of this stuff off. :/
they can if they tried.. they start off small. and for the record the first 1-10 was the same ones from the yahoo girl. i just used her ugliest 10 and stated my opinion like she did.
ReplyDeleteGood job Lauren! I like v-necks on guys also, hairy and all. I really liked how you gave your opinion too. Oh and I enjoyed the collared shirt!
ReplyDeleteWell written and thoughtfully put together. All I could picture was Cher from Clueless! As If!
