We’ve already discussed this subject in some detail previously, but let’s take the opportunity to get through a few more fashion mistakes shall we?
Guys have an unfortunate attraction to unfashionable combinations in the world of couture!
Don’t let yourself slip into the following easy traps – use the basic advice below and you’ll find those wardrobe blunders are soon a thing of the past.
1. Plastic overcoats
Unless you are: a) planning on riding a log flume b) biking in the rain or c) engaging in some twisted sexual games, the plastic overcoat should be avoided at all costs.
2. Wellington boots misuse
‘Wellies’ and a suit is almost as bad as sneakers with dinner jackets; if you’re in a grimy construction site they have a purpose, otherwise you’ve got no excuse. Rubber boots are no more a fashion statement outside of a muddy field as an apron would be outside of a kitchen; keep your rubber boots away from the high street.
3. The Soul Patch
Gentlemen, take hold of that razor and cut away – nothing says ‘male fail’ like a wisp of pseudo-beard; like a new millennium mullet, this is one fashion mistake no man should have to make ever again!
4. ‘Male Model’ Syndrome
Nothing says ‘try-hard’ like a man with the fading appearance of a catalogue photo-shoot. In other words, don’t wear an outfit composed entirely from the latest range from a single clothing boutique, nor the same ensemble being sported by the store mannequins.
5. Bandanas
“Oh Rambo, why hath thou forsaken me?”
Also known as the ‘mandana’ for obvious portmanteau-based reasons. You are not an action movie star, so why not avoid the look and save us all the embarrassment.

Not the best place to wear a tie!!!
Indeed! 😉
Hahah oh man good things to avoid!
What?……… No bandana’s?!?! 😥
Great Top 5 though, although #4 will deprive us of a lot of entertainment 😆
