So day to day I'm sure everyone here sees many a folk attempting to "dress up" or "be fashionable", but they just end up looking bad (to a trained eye at least). So what are some things you see day to day that just scream uninformed to you? They could annoy you, downright bother you, or just make you shake your head. I'll start:

What really bothers me is the mass of people who think matching a solid dress shirt to a striped tie with that exact same colour in is some sort of "law".

I've always thought and believed firmly that underwears are optional. I mean, seriously, who's gonna see it when you got that fancy Incotex Sarotriale pants on.

But apparently most people still do wear underwear. But that ticks me off a bit each day as I remember to think about it.

Huh?

Also, I'm 50/50 on matching your tie to your pocket square. I know it's "unimaginative," but often it looks pretty good.

Didn't your mum tell you, to wear clean underwear?

After all, you might have an accident and end up in a hospital's emergency department.

If a nurse pulls off my pants I'm sure she's seen it before.

I have enough problems with the girl hemming my pants today trying to turn them into hip huggers.

Expensive clothing, bad fit.

I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to ball up paper & shoot free throws down the huge space between their necks & shirt collars.

Or pants that are waay too long.
