Thicker clothing does not equal better clothing.

Correct me if I'm wrong but believe that some people deliberately keep the stitching on the pockets (except for the breast pocket) in...Originally Posted by ajmanouk
I do that actually. What style mistake is there when no one can tell anyway. I have my jackets' hip pockets unopened and some of my pants' back pockets unopened too. It keeps me from sticking my hands in those pockets or putting my wallet, phone or random **** in there.
What is a style mistake is bulging pockets everywhere.

True, which is a valid option. But I am referring to those who don't open the Breast pocket.

I'll count down:Originally Posted by NavyStyles
3) A jacket that's too small. (when the guy reaches to shake your hand, and you can see half a foot of his shirt sleeve. Time to go shopping, bud.)
2) When people are underdressed. If you attend a nice event and you took time to look the part, you did so to make yourself presentable. I hate it when other guys don't even spend the time to look nice for something like a concert.

deets on shoes?Originally Posted by unbelragazzo
Shirt and pants, not bad, shoes and belt, very bad. I can't stand belts like that(I don't know what they're called) that are just a chunk of leather rather than lined, I also think it's too wide. The cuffed jeans also bug me, like the shirt though.

Here's a good summary if you're just tuning in.
A ton of Hispanics do this too. Please tell them to stop.
The "Abercrombie look"
The term for those white guys is Wanksta.
I dislike Abercrombie because their shirts have sleeves that extend way beyond your hands and their employees are for the most part dbags (girls can be dbags too IMO).
2. Too much jewelry
I can't stand gold. It's not to say it doesn't look good on some things or some people but, for me, I would take silver over gold any day. I've seen peeps wear their gold necklace around their polo collar and it causes me great grief. Do they want to mugged? IDK I can't figure it out.
Carry on.
with your permission good sir.
Cheap, ALDO shoes.
Essentially an expensive cheap pair of shoes.
Style is 80% from within and 20% in what you wearing.
Really? Could you wear Ed Hardy and still be confident?

They don't know better man. Is ignorance excusable?
Actually that was a terrible summary but it's just what caught my attention while speed reading LOLOL
1. the huge tommy logos or whatever. There are guys with winter jackets and the whole jacket is a TOMMY HILFIGER. I call them walking billboards. tons of indians did this in toronto when i was at school there. it was my #1 pet peeve and why i won't even enter the hilfiger section of a store.Originally Posted by GQgeek

2.) Somone actually wearing a suit straight off the rack--including labels on the sleeves etc. I saw this more than once at a recent international tradeshow from various African delegations. I actually felt sorry for the countries that they were there to represent.Originally Posted by Patek
