To save time, I’ve decided to just give you ALL theMen’s Fashion Dont’s, list-style, that theDETAILS Men’s Style Manual pointed out in the book. I’ve compiled them all here in one huge list, separated in different categories.

Worst Fashion Crime
1.
Panty Lines
Your underwear shouldn't be so tight as to show your entire panty line through your pants. Thongs/seamless underwear were invented for a reason.
2.
Too tight clothing
No matter how big or small you are, squeezing yourself into tiny clothes just makes you look like a sausage - not attractive at all!
3.
Too many monogram designer goods from head to toe
4.
Tights/pantyhose with sandals or open toed shoes
5.
Muffin Top
6.
Overtanned skin/Orange skin
Overtanned skin is not only unhealthy, it is not attractive. In the case of a fake tan, having your fake tan rub off on your clothes is embarassing not to mention gross.
7.
Socks with Sandals
8.
Seasonal/Holiday clothing for adults
No grown person should be seen in Christmas clothing unless they are Santa Clause.
9.
Matching head to toe
10.
Underwear that doesn't match outerwear
ie black bras with white tops...etc
11.
Pants that are too short
12.
Soccer mom jeans
13.
Dresses that are way too short - ie tops worn as dresses
14.
Busty women who go braless
15.
Denim on denim
16.
Leggings worn as pants without a longer top
17.
Too low cut jeans so that your butt crack/underwear is hanging out
18.
Pantyhose with runs
19.
Booty shorts
20.
Tracksuits worn with High Heels
