What particular "staple" items do you refuse/tend not to wear?

[AlexE]

Navy blazer with gold buttons - will never wear it unless one of you buys me a yacht.
Pleated pants
Paisley ties
Tassel loafers

 

[aanix]

turtlenecks and sandals

 

[FlyingMonkey]

Turtlenecks, polos, chinos, boat shoes - basically, the whole summer New England college casual look (if that's what you call it). Ostentatious watches. Rings and bracelets. I am yet to be convinced about monkstraps. And above all, conservative business dress as a whole - I mean I can do it if I have to, but I 99% of the time I don't have to and I am very happy about that.

those ******* ridiculous shawl collared toggled monstrosities that elicit Pavlovian group jizzing whenever one is displayed in a WAYWRN photo.

+1. I'd hoped I wasn't the only one who thought these things are awful.

I've never had cuffs on trousers, and I'm not sure I ever will.

Loafers

Caps other than flat caps and watch caps

Jewelry other than cuff links and belt buckles

Pocket squares (I have a few, I don't remember the last time I wore one)

Underwear, unless I'm wearing a suit

Tshirts. Haven't owned one in five years.

I don't think most people are posting anything that is a "staple" item, rather just things they don't wear.

Condoms suck.

What if they were handmade in Naples or Savile row?!

Underwear, unless I'm wearing a suit

That's just nasty.

I've always wanted to wear saddle shoes but then I realized I'd look like a cartoon.

The definition of staple item is somewhat fluid. Maybe the OP should have made a list and we crossed things off it?

Whatever one considers to be a menswear "staple" judging by whatever gauge they wish -- like general historical consensus, perhaps.

 

[Hayward]

I haven't worn seersucker or tweed since reaching the age of majority. Thinking about getting a tweed jacket, however.

On what planet are spectators considered staples

 

[I am DIL]

I didn't know anyone said that they were.
