Men ’ s Fashion Misdemeanors
Wearing clothes that are clean and in good condition is one thing , but style choices are another . Don ’ t shy away from personal expression , but avoid these missteps :
◗ Poorly fi tted clothes-too baggy or too tight ◗ Shoes in bad condition ◗ Sandals with a suit ◗ Socks worn with sandals
◗ Socks that show when you ’ re standing , shins that show when you ’ re sitting ( due to short socks )
◗ A tie with a short-sleeved shirt ◗ Too much jewelry-heavy on the chains , rings and bracelets ◗ Dandruff fl akes on dark garments
Women ’ s Fashion Misdemeanors
A good mirror is your best friend when it comes to spotting and correcting most of these common fashion fl aws :
◗ Clothing that is too tight , short , or revealing for the occasion ◗ Dandruff fl akes on dark garments
◗ Visible stocking-foot seams with open-toed shoes
◗ Buttoned garments that gap and show skin or underwear better left hidden
◗ Overly dressy or too-high heels with casual clothes like jeans ◗ Wearing a dress meant for evening during the day ◗ Jewelry that jingles or clangs so much that others are annoyed ◗ Torn hems and linings that show
Casual is the new “ normal ” for dress in today ’ s world , especially in California and Florida where the sun and the beach prevail . We all lead busy lives , but “ casual ” is not an excuse to be sloppy or inappropriate . Traditional dress still has its place . It ’ s experience in knowing when you can be casual and when you should dress up a bit that sets you apart from others and shows your respect and consideration .
I hope you found this helpful . I think the chart above covers traditional as well as modern dress . Of course , these are only suggestions and guidelines . Cut this out and keep this in your closet or dresser drawer . It may be helpful in the future . Let me know how this is going for you . As always , I love hearing from you !
