That is def not offensive, but I was really aiming for brown dress shoes with black dress pants.

Crane's Country Store has a point, but I'd say graphic/logo tees that have the name of the brand prominently displayed are usually pretty bad.

Unless, of course, it's a Co-ed Naked tee.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Socks are to keep your shoes and boots from stank.

Prominent branding and logos on anything, e.g. Abercrombie, Nike, D&G, Polo, etc. They should be paying us for their advertising instead of paying a premium for it, paying for the name.

Yep. Not to mention athletes foot really sucks. If you want to look like a carpenter in the Summer it's boots with socks, shorts and an untucked tee with an unbuttoned flannel on the cool morning days. Construction workers got the whole workwear thing down pat.

O'Rly? Are we talking male or female? Both genders? I know plenty of short people from both sexes that look very good and well put together and they wear designer clothes.

B B B....But what about the brand whores? What will they ever do without clothes that have their favorite logo prominently displayed for all to see? I can hear them crying of the horror of it all.

For bags/accessories, I disagree, nothing looks better than aged monograms Vuitton briefcases.
