Man I love velvet, I've got two velvet djs. Wish they still made it from silk.

- Seersucker suits
- Skinny tapered jeans (slim straight legs are ok - i.e. Levi 514, but not 511)
- Designer hoodies
- Black dress shirts
- Sunglasses with one large single lenses (lense crosses over the bridge)
- Pants that aren't hemmed (no rolling up, even on jeans)
- Tassel loafers

And by "never wear", I mean never wear while going out somewhere. I have a company hooded sweatshirt that I throw on for early morning dog walks.

Funny thing is not long ago, button down collars would have been on my list. But I just got my first MTM BD shirt yesterday and it's got a beautiful collar roll. Now I'm itching to by a few more OCBDs.

Unless the rest of my clothes dies in a fire of epic proportions:

- a polo
- a black pair of casual shoes
- a black suit
- a butterfly outside of the tux
- a black dress shirt
- a pair of loafers with tassels
- any kind of make up
- a pair of skinny jeans
- a vest (not a waistcoat. I love those)

The title indicated to me fashionable items that others wear on here that I never would.
I would NEVER wear (because they don't flatter me):
any pants that end below the knee but above the ankle
drop crotch pants
or a cardigan under a jacket (just too much layering, adds unnecessary pounds)

I have no problem with a sweater under a casual jacket or overcoat, but not under a sport jacket/suit

forgot about seersucker, add that to my list of nevers. And linen suitings.

other than a watch and my platinum wedding band I dont like jewelry, tho I used to wear those heavy pewter rings a long time ago but the thought of doing so again is revolting.
