I still have every umbrella I have ever bought….but I would still never spend more than $10 for an umbrella.

Do I know any 10 year olds with size 13 feet? Plenty! In fact, I had size 11 feet at ten years old; freakish? Perhaps…

Okay, so I was using a little hyperbole in the article to exaggerate my point somewhat; essentially, I’m suggesting that unless you’re a pre-teen it’s best to keep that cap facing front.

Thanks for the comment ZimonZi

Just as a point, I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone who is younger than their shoe size.
I mean, do you know any 10 year olds with size 13 feet? I know I don’t.
I assume that because you’re British you mean the UK sizing system? My point becomes invalid when using European sizes, but then again, so does yours.

I agree with everything on the list except for no team logos on baseball caps. I wear a baseball cap to support my team — it’s about heritage and tradition, not some arbitrary style rules. Blank ball caps are completely lame.

That’s true, and it’s good to put the fundamentals up like that, so people have a foundation to build a style from(and can add personal touches as it develops).

A good point well made!

My golden rule around here is to understand the rules but follow your own judgement. These are all broad ‘no-no’s rather than absolutes.

I don’t think that suggesting ‘avoid novelty hats and team logos’ is the same thing as saying ‘make it bland, grey and samey’; there are an endless selection of colours, fabrics, textures, patterns, graphic designs, materials, etc available. I think there’s a long way to go before the world is consumed by ‘designer-bots’

Thanks for the great comment Nene33!

Some are really good in this one(like the clip-on tie , seriously, don’t wear a tie if that’s the only option ), but some(including the baseball caps one) are personality killers, and as much as I don’t believe in a grey mass of slobs, I also don’t wanna see a designer mass of look-a-like’s, because that’ll go grey on you to.

It’s all about the balance to me, style, and personality can mesh beautifully, as they should.
