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)

• 14. Tucking your t-shirt into your jeans
• 15. Wearing a “London Marathon” t-shirt or similar around town
