What have so far been the worst fashion crimes you and/or others have committed ?

I once wore white unlined linen trousers to a wedding reception and later learned that while on the dance floor most observers were transfixed by my translucency; which explained those fanciful gazes from the women in attendance.

They must be forced to take them off in public and apologized in public for crime against sartorial humanity.

I mean, what else are you supposed to wear as office casual?

sadly, a number of these crimes I have committed and continue to commit, mainly because I can't afford to go out and buy all new clothes. I do have a Kenneth Cole suit that I still really like, though.

I wear and enjoy three Banana Republic suits myself, so no need to worry. My real fashion atrocity - Buying and wearing a three-button, notch lapel, BOSS tuxedo. But this offers my some solace:

+1 on the Men's Wearhouse, especially their alterations tailor. Dear god are they inept. I also partially blame them for the fact that, until recently, I didn't know my proper jacket size.

The all black look.Black suit and black open neck shirt.Very Tom Ford.
The black shirt with the cream suit.Very Pacino.

I haven't committed too many MC crimes, outside of owning a pair of very clunky dress shoes (thankfully a square-toe has never (dis)graced my foot) or owning some very billowy shirts (I used to believe that people purposefully had their shirts billow out slightly over the belt). I am guilty of forcing skinny jeans into a lot of fits where they don't work (clunky footwear).

I didn't know my actual size for jackets until a little before I joined SF. I was shopping with a friend and tried on a 38 M65 by Boss which happened to fit perfectly (I had assumed I was mostly an L prior). Luckily I had only one SC anyway, which I had worn only once (I think it was a 42 at least!).
