Curiosity has got me today.

Do you guys know to not wear a brown belt with black shoes (also vice versa)?

P.S. Hipsters are excluded.

I solve the problem by exclusively dressing myself in a giant sock.

I think we all know the greatest fashion DON'T of all time: Naked except for socks. Even just lower half naked with socks is bad, but fully nude save socks is absolutely awful. No bad dresser can ever top that fashion disaster. It simply cannot be worse.


I suppose most of us wouldn't be publicly (I don't care if you like to run around your house in socks and a birthday suit) concerned about that. The first two exceptions that come to mind: naturists and streakers. We all aren't naturists or streakers, right?

By the way, this post gives me 22,000 AP. *pretends to celebrate*

Sometimes I do have a problem watching clothes. But not anymore. With socks it doesn't matter since I where the same socks everyone. But I have gotten a lot better with matching clothes.

Is not wearing a shirt in public if youre a guy considered a fashion faux pas?


Depends how close you are to the nearest beach and whether you're performing hard physical labour.

Just to set things straight: There is no 'disaster' in wearing black shoes with a brown belt, except people will notice and frown upon it, as Ash pointed out (with a very made up sounding conversation tyvm).

@Xzeno, who's gonna see?

This thread amuses me.

That is a horrible fashion Faux Pas. Because he is well on the way of getting skin cancer. and major sunburns. And death. And yeah most of us guys do do that. It's like a ticket to get a girl for most of them. I don't do that. I don't wanna get burned.

You claimed that it wasn't just social, and supported your point by giving examples of areas where it helps socially. Good job.


You're obviously playing semantics unnecessarily here. If you'd applied context to appreciate the nuance of the particular of the use "social" in that quote, you might not have wasted your time typing this.

...but knowing you, you probably would have anyway :P

Naked except for socks.


Also I don't understand how this is a fashion, save for in some kind of explicit pornographic publication, in which case I don't really see a problem with that

p.s. I like wearing mismatched socks, particularly same pattern, different colour.

and p.p.s. I don't get the V-necked shirt on guys thing. It just screams "wearer is probably trying too hard at something" for some reason.

Discuss.

I'd think that wouldn't be of major concern.

V-neck on men just looks wrong.

Also, he's a comedian with a TV show, and every season he wears a different type of clothing. One season was v-necks.
