Top 20 fashion faux pas
There have been discussions going on for a few weeks now on the French language forums about best-avoided errors of taste. Of course, people rarely agree about tastes and colours, but here are the Top 20 errors that people have mentioned the most:
- 1. Wearing white sport socks with anything other than trainers
- 2. Wearing socks and sandals
- 3. Tucking your jeans into your socks
- 4. Wearing jogging bottoms when not doing sport
- 5. Simon Cowell-style trousers pulled up to your belly button
- 6. Wearing the “wrong size” clothes (ankle-swinging trousers, tent-like t-shirt or jacket, etc)
- 7. Carrying a large wallet in your hip pocket (or on a chain!)
- 8. Clipping your mobile phone to your belt (or even worse: around your neck!).
- 9. Wearing shirts with large designs (like dragons/eagles/fire etc)
- 10. Wearing a tie with a short-sleeved shirt
- 11. Wearing wacky ties (Ducks, Mickey Mouse or Bart Simpson)
- 12. Tucking your tie into your trousers!
- 13. Wearing a tie pin (particularly with a short-sleeved shirt with a pocket full of Biros!)
- 14. Tucking your t-shirt into your jeans
- 15. Wearing a “London Marathon” t-shirt or similar around town
- 16. Wearing football scarves outside of the grounds
- 17. Wearing mesh baseball caps
- 18. Overdoing the branded fashion look (Vuitton cap, D&G t-shirt and belt, etc)
- 19. Fake branded bags (Dior, Chanel, Vuitton, etc.) that you can spot a mile off
- 20. And worst of all: Wearing welly boots with a suit!!!
Wrong about 6, 10 and 13.
Most fashionable thing right now is too short pants, they should go to your ankles.
Tie with short-sleeved shirts can also give a great look. It is more military like but nonetheless looks good.
Tie pins can be used to create a goodlooking effect.
