10 Things Guys Should Never Wear

The thing about clothing is that some of it makes sense because of trends: bootcut jeans, Starter jackets, and tall tees come to mind when thinking of items that were once cool but are now totally wack. Men's clothing is practical in nature, but some of its more popular style choices are usually derived from classic style icons like James Dean and Miles Davis. Some of it makes sense because it serves a purpose: flip flops, although pretty gross to wear in a city, don't look out of place on the beach or in college bathrooms.

However, there are some clothing items that men simply shouldn't be caught dead in. Whether due to technological advances, common sense, or just basic good taste, we couldn't think of any possible reason why a dude would choose to rock any of these things unless they were trying to convey a sense of style — which none of these items would show. Here are 10 Things Guys Should Never Wear.

Ryan Gosling's driving gloves in Drive were badass. Cut off the fingers, and suddenly they're not. Sure, Michael Jackson might have rocked them well in the video for "Bad" but remember: you're not Michael Jackson.

Face it wannabe Shooter McGavins, you're never gonna give this item more swag than Asian grandmothers.

Make a commitment: pants or shorts. You can't have it both ways without looking like an idiot.

During your emo heyday in the early 2000s, this was probably acceptable because the only jeans available for guys came in "baggy" and "slightly less baggy." Now that your heart has been broken by about ten heavily-tattooed straight edge girls with too much eye shadow and bleached bangs, it's time you realized that jean brands have been putting out skinnier fits with men in mind for years.

BOLO: Bolos Only Look Outrageous.

These are never a good look. When would you ever be in a situation where all of a sudden, you need a pair of emergency shorts?

These mock turtlenecks were made to be worn under shirts to give the appearance of a real turtleneck underneath. They're like the combination of a clip-on tie and a broken condom.

T-shirts are great. They form the backbone of many modern guys' closets. However, none of them should ever be within ten feet of a Bedazzler, or sequins, or anything Swarovski. You really wanna shine? Geez, get a chain.

The only time men should ever wear underwear this tight is if they plan on covering it up with a pair of real pants.

No amount of confidence is going to make you forget you're wearing a super-constricting thong. Or that you're a male stripper. Gross. Your coin purse needs some change.
