Oh, this will be fun. I hate:

Lavender
Any green that isn't dark green
Uncoventional shoe formats and details
Gusset loafers (these deserve special mention)
Antiquing
Patterned linen pocket squares
Actually, pretty much all linen pocket squares that aren't white
Skinny lapels
Split yokes
'Slim fit'
Roped shoulders
Peak lapels on single breasted jackets
Dangling, straight-line breast pockets
Crazy-jester-hiding-in-my-pocket pocket square folds
Shiny ties
Ties with fancy stripes
Ties wider than 3.5 inches
Hacking pockets
Ticket pockets
Rounded barrel cuffs
Non-blue, non-white, non-ecru shirts
Cutaway collars
High button stances
Tie space
Light tan shoes
AE styling
Not necessarily what Thom Browne sells, but anything that looks Thom Browne

Foo - would have been more efficient to write "anything that doesn't look exactly like ME (or matt)"

I think Matt likes some of that stuff. I will fight a war over gusset loafers if need be.

I can't remember the last time I saw a gusset loafer on SF or read that people like/love them.
