My only pet peeve is for people on TV. Specifically the guy on Wealth TV in HD with the bad hair plugs, the non fitting suits, the shirts 2" too big in the neck, the aweful ties, and the horribly insincere attitude. Just watch their news program and you will understand the horror.

They have makeup people, designers, and directors who should be looking out for them. I know I have had rough days and my outfit might not have been perfect, but seriously, if you are on TV with 20 people making sure you look good...

I don't like bulky sweaters.

I don't like Armani suits for both style and build quality reasons.

I don't like big sunglass lenses on men.

I don't like white belts or shoes under any circumstances. Actually a well done trad look with white bucs is fine by me.

I don't like cheap watches with any suits or formal attire.

I don't like David Lettermen's sloppy unbuttoned look for his primo Fioravanti suits. And buy some better shoes Dave!


Doesn't white t-shirts under polo shirts look better than some guys chest hair patch flowing through his polo?

I don't like it when people who are top heavy wear tight jeans and flat soled shoes..they look like they tip over..

I think there is a time and a place for loose fit, so you can balance out your look.

I also am really growing tired of the corduroy blazer thing going on.

You guys would be bothered if you were to see me then, because virtually all of my dress shirts are monogrammed on the left cuff. I feel it looks distinguished. I guess it is as the saying goes "to each his own."

What specifically is wrong with this guy's suit? Are his pants too long?

Can someone post a picture of armholes that are too big? I still have no idea what the high/low armhole thing is about.
