You guys have too much hate. I have to say I can't imagine hanging out with many of you for fear that I might offend your delicate sensibilities.

Personally the one thing I hate is people who don't give a **** about clothing and how they look.

Are these still around? They were the bee's knees when I was in middle/high school. JNCOs, I mean. I know "husky" jeans still exist.

-People wearing "shiny" shirts like Ed Hardy, Affliction, etc.

-Wearing knee high black socks with shorts and white sneakers. Might just be at my school, though.

-Sketchers & New balance shoes. I've just never seen an attractive pair of either.

-Plaid shorts with horizontal striped shirts that hurt my eyes.

-Those polyester drifit shirts my friend wears, because cotton irriatates his skin.

I attended a black tie wedding at Cranbrook the other night (all the men were in tuxes). The groom and best man both wore black tuxes with black Reeboks. And they were in their late 50s.

My hate is mostly jealousy. They work great on the short guys, but us tall folk are left out in the cold.

I don't really hate any of these items on their own but when worn together as the "middle management business casual look combo" it makes me want to gag

Dockers, square toed shoes (double gag for square toed black loafers), baggy Ralph Lauren blue oxford cloth BD shirt. I've walked into a room where more than twenty guys of all ages were wearing this

-Not showing cuff in a blazer/suit. It's more of a pet peeve, but I've seen many outfits there are otherwise great, except for this detail. I prefer a healthy amount of cuff, though, and I believe that it should be showing at *all* times.

-Hideous running shoes. Appropriate when you're actually running, or doing some sort of physical activity.
Amen brotha. All my friends wear horrifying basketball/running shoes constantly and the quickest way to show you have no idea how to wear a suit is to be not showing any cuff (hello to half the people who ever participated in a wedding).

Suits that are so ill fitting they look like the wearer is a kid playing dress-up from his father's closet.
