Just been reminded about this from another thread, i done this thread a few years back and as we have a new influx of regular forum users, i thought id do it again.
So, clothing men should not wear, my first suggestion which i will go with again is 3/4 length pants.
Over to you guys. |

Any clothes that are not fucking fit to their body shapes !!!
Like men who wear suits for the sake of it but the suit is either too fucking long or too fucking short !!!
There are rules !!!
A well-fitted shoulder lies flat. The seam on top of the shoulder should be the same length as the bone under it, and should meet the sleeve of the suit right where your arm meets your shoulder.
The back of your trousers should be a smooth drape over the shape of your rear end.
The “break” is the small wrinkle caused when the top of your shoe stops your trouser cuff from falling to its full length.
This should be a small, subtle feature. One horizontal dimple or crease is usually ideal.
The button of the jacket should close without strain, and there should be no wrinkles radiating out from the closure.
Last but not least, the jacket sleeve lenthgh!
“A half-inch of linen” is a good, old-fashioned guideline for the relationship between a suit jacket and the shirt worn under it — about half an inch of the shirt cuff should be visible beyond the jacket cuff...
My eyes burn when I see men with suits that do not fit them. It actually has the opposite effect that the effect intended. |

"Suits. Dull as fuck.

Who wants to be like most women? Suits are for weddings and funerals and aren't miracle workers |

Not necessarily. But agree that some suits are for some special occassion... Don't fucking go on a meet with a three pieces suit !!
You can wear a suit but still look very casual, especially if the pants and the jacket are from different colours.
The key is not really in the clothes you wear but how you wear them.
A jeans on certain person can make them look hotter than a suit. |

Yes. I'll have to agree. Rarely a suit will look hot. But it's more to do with who is wearing it and if they're wearing it right. But generally they are a fail. Especially on a meet  |

Multiple arrays of stripes going in varied directions, coupled with other patterns.
Ripped jeans - distressed - can distress.
Trousers in a waist size that is much too small - with a huge belly hanging over it. |

Not a massive suit fan, but there is something about a shirt and tie worn well

100% agree. Ill fitting is a massive no. Too baggy, too long, too short, too tight - just no! |

Does it really matter though what people wear? I know what I like and dislike on a guy but you should just look after yourself and not worry about others.
I have a particular taste and date accordingly. I like a man that dresses himself and is confident with that choice. |

Any item of clothing with a makers name plastered across the front.....like super dry or bench.
Baggy jeans with the crotch level with the knees.
Grimy Grey track suits and hoodies.
Football kit, unless you are actually on the pitch.

"I saw a man walking to the playrooms the other night in Cupid’s with his good lady. He was still wearing his socks. Not a good look. "
I hate guys keeping their socks on but in that environment I can understand why, I wouldn’t let my bare feet touch the floor either. |

I am not a fan of pants that hang very low in the middle like they need a belt or a bigger bottom to hold them up....for the most part though if someone is happy in their skin then I am happy too - I tend to play naked so what they were wearing before hand has little impact  |

I wear bandannas , buffs and top knots 
Many people wear clothes that make them happy and some to enhance their appeal
Me I wear clothes that keep me warm or cool and I tend to enhance their appeal ! |

I don’t do casual meets so it’s more important to me. I dress in a quirky way and like a similarly dressed man. I’ve met a few from here that dressed impeccably and others that were questionable and glad they were drinking at mine and not in public |

"Pink... Men should not wear pink!!!!!!!!  "
i had a very light pink shirt once, back in the early 90s, used to wear a twat of a tie with it too, cause back then you had to look a little more smarter than the average joe to get in to a club. |

It depends on what your taste or style is. I love guys in converse, dr martins, brogues etc but that’s MY taste. Like I said earlier, if you are going to wear something, then OWN that shit. |

Took long enough for someone to say it. These with boat shoes and no socks basically screams "I'm a massive twat". Unfortunately I have to share an office building with these sorts. |

Why judge? Life’s too short, maybe they don’t like your attire but I’m hoping that they don’t really care. |
