It�s clear that women care more about how they dress than men do. A man�s lack of interest in his appearance can totally turn off a woman. Look guys, there are some mistakes that we can let slide, but some are down-right deal breakers. Here are some things you didn�t notice you were doing wrong, and maybe some you did but just didn�t notice the severity. *Socks that don't match your outfit Socks are more important than any man realizes. We'll visit this topic several times. You're on the way to your office, dressed in your finest suit, but under those paints you're hiding a pair of white calf-length Champions. (by the way, don't wear Champions, unless your prepubescent). Your orange argyle socks go perfectly with that lavender fitted shirt�.right? Come on guys, pull it all together. *Mismatched socks One black with a green stripe, one black with a blue stripe. Sometimes, one white, one black. Seriously? You'd be surprised how often your socks show during the day. What about when you sit or cross your legs, those pants ride up and BAM: your one nike and one adidas are shown to the world�and people notice. All this shows is your laziness. *Your idea of "dress up" I'm sorry but putting on your golf shirt and your khakis is not dressing up. Neither is always resorting to Ralph and his reliable polos. Throw on a tie under a slight V-Neck and match with tailored slacks. Your girl doesn't "dress-up" in American Eagle jeans and a cable knit sweater does she (by the way if she does, say goodbye)? *Socks with sandals:- There's no description needed here. The classic sin most men make; Jesus would be disappointed. *Short ties I cannot emphasize the hideousness of a short tie. If that bad boy doesn't reach your belt, get ready to be made fun of at a party. You are making yourself look heavier. Either tie it correctly or don't shop in the boys section. *Untailored suits I understand it is very expensive to have a tailored suit, however I do believe every man should try and have one. But seeing a man in a suit that is clearly not his size tells me one of two things: a. you borrowed this because you're cheap; b. you're an idiot. *Not refreshing your wardrobe This is one of the biggest mistakes men make; you wear the same clothes year after year. While this is great because you're not spending a lot of money, it becomes embarrassing. If your friends know every shirt you have, or can predict what you're going to wear, you've got problems. Purchase five or less items a month; it'll save money but expand your wardrobe quicker than you think. Not caring about your clothes shows females you probably don't care about much. *Type casting yourself Basically, don't wear the same style all the time. I hate to bring up Ralph again, but don't only wear Polo or only one color, or that guy who only wears argyle. Because it's boring. It's so boring. And thats how women will take it. *Holes and rips It's not okay to wear a tee shirt with a hole in it, or a sock, or those pants that are too long and are frayed on the bottom. Because we will stare at it. And become obsessed with it. *Fishing shirts Oh wow did you just go fishing?" "No." "Oh, so you're just a complete tool?" *No belts Do you enjoy pulling your pants up all day? I didn't think so. *Matchy matchy This goes for all ages, all sexes. Matchy Matchy is hideous! Socks with a tie is golden, but additives are ridiculous. Don't match the belt, the pocket square, the shirt, and so on. You're spending so much time putting this outfit together just to get made fun of. Undershirts Know when to wear one and when to not. Don't wear a wife beater with a white button down. Don't wear crew neck undershirts with a V-Neck. There are so many ways to screw this up. As much as you might hate the idea, stick with a slight V-Neck undershirt. You'll still get the comfort and protection but not the ugly bacon wrinkled collar hanging out.
