Let's play a game.

What is one type of clothing or look that you know you will never learn to love? It could be something that is popular that you are unique in disliking, or it could be something commonly considered a foul.

While my taste may change and I think there are certain things I may grow to like (cufflinks), here is mine:

Your turn...

... have back pockets on my suit trousers. Can't stand the pocket bags being in the way when I never use them.

... buy button-fly trousers. The zip-fly is an innovation worth embracing.

... buy another waistcoat. I've bought three and equally disliked wearing them all.

It seems like some of the things listed so far are things that have "ever" been done though, if you've tried them.

Is there a difference between "tried it and hated it" and "will never try because I hate it?"
I think the second category is more interesting! Things that are just completely off the table or so far gone.

First category could be like "wearing face paint," second category would be like "getting a face tattoo."

FWIW I would rather get my entire face tattooed blue than wear sockless shoes.

Beard or facial scruff
Knitwear with a suit / jacket and tie
Monks
1, 2 or 4 button jackets (except dinner jacket)
DB jackets
Those two button jackets with pressed flat lapels and a superfluous button hole drilled into the bottom of the lapel (refuse to call them 'three roll two' as there's no roll involved!)

Sprout I guess you're not one for driving mocs eh?
