It's not just clothes that make the man, it's knowing the rules well, and then choosing which ones you want to break. Not all of these tips will work across all body types, but we're sure you'll be a better-dressed guy after looking at this than if you had never come across it at all. It's a tough world out there, so we might as well look impeccable while surviving in it. Here's 50 Mistakes Dudes Make While Getting Dressed.

my life has changed for the better since i moved the wallet from back pocket to left pocket and ditched erroneous cards

Not entirely sure about number 34. A pocket square can work if the rest of the outfit looks right. Just my opinion though...

the only thing i disagree with is cuffing pants. cuffing is totally appropriate and stylish

i hate these lists. Dress how u want. Rules are dumb.

Thats probably cause you do not know how to dress.

Dress rules are a guide for ppl who DON'T know how to dress. If u hv style and most importantly, swag/confidence, you can pull off (almost) anything!

Homos can dress, I don't want basketball from a midget. So maybe fashion tips from a homo is a good thing

For some reason I can't fully get with the v necks, so crew under the button-down is me!
Barnyard September 30th, 2011 at 05:26 PM
Thats me too. Not into the vneck shirts, thats old school, them and the wife beaters.

The rule is simple: round neck t-shirt under the V-neck sweater/jumper

This list is pretty good, problem is, dudes are going to be dudes, if you need a "list" to assure yourself of how to dress or dress your persona then honestly you're only dressing for others and not yourself. It's good to wear appropriate things but choose what you honestly feel comfortable with also. If you need to follow the entire list, then you're a total fool, the dude who made this is most likely metro or gay, so what do you think his taste is gonna be like? Good to pick from the list though saw some really good suggestions throughout, all the Jean ones were pretty spot on. Don't let others label you!

It must feel good to get all that off your chest.
TRO September 30th, 2011 at 08:37 PM

#10, best places to spray cologne is your chest and solar plexus, and back. on men they're the places that heat up the most, especially when its getting good with a lady. trust me on this one, i sold a lot of cologne over the past few years and this is legit. a spritz on the neck is a sure winner too, just don't over do it. and don't be afraid to spend a decent amount of money..

Yo... Some good tips on here. Amen to #23! That move bugs the shit out of me every time I see it. Especially with my family and friends... I give 'em shit all the time! Unless you're an old lady going to the bingo hall in Samoa (don't sweat it - I'm from there), don't f*cking do it. If you don't wanna show your ugly toes, put some damn shoes on! And #22, yezzir... I saw this happen to this chick I was diggin', and I know it sounds stupid, but in my mind it kinda downgraded her a bit. Still stuck in my head after all these years... Good shit tho'.
