50 Mistakes Guys Make While Getting Dressed

Rocking a crew neck T-shirt under your buttondown. You know when a girl bends over and you can see her undies, and they're granny panties? Yeah, that's what you look like. Opt for a v-neck instead.

You look like your life is a potato sack race, and you stay losing. Also, that tight shirt means people can see your man-nips. Gross.

Imagine a pinstripe fedora paired with a graphic tee and light jeans. Now imagine yourself in that outfit. Horrible right? Think about how your headwear would look with your whole outfit.

Has a girl ever come up to youy and complimented your perfectly threaded eyebrows? Yeah, we didn't think so. We're all for fighting against a unibrow, but don't go overboard with the tweezers dude.

If you're still doing monochrome shirt and tie thing, your style icon must be Regis Philbin. That's your fisrt mistake. Mix things up a bit, we promise it won't hurt.

It's 72 degrees and sunny, and you look like an ass in a trench coat. Wear outerwear appropriate for the weather.

Just because it's your favorite shirt doesn't mean it's O.K. to wear it after pizza stains decided to stick around. It's time to retire irreparably ruined clothes and get some new gear.

You never want to look like a bag of Skittles. Keep things simple with pops of color and balance it out with neutrals. Crazy color-blocking will result in cockblocking.

Wearing the same shoes everyday is the type of thing that causes kicks to smell. Have a regualr rotation and take care of your shoes, and they'll do the same in return.

Buttoning all the buttons on your cardigan or vest? Whoa there, Urkel. Leave those last two alone. You don't wanna look too stuffy.

Wearing a holster for your mobile device. People don't need to see that you're strapped, dude. Keep it in your pocket, and if your pockets are full, look into getting a nice bag.

Look in the mirror before you leave. Nothing's more embarrasing than having someone tell you that you got toothpaste residue at the corner of your mouth. And you've been at work for four hours already.

In blazers, there's a rule that goes from top button (on three-button blazers), middle button, and bottom button. That rule is Sometimes, Always and Never. Remember this.

You're rocking a deep V-neck, and have the nerve to put a blazer on. When's the magic show dude? A little subtlety goes a long way. Even if you work out like hell, it's best to leave a little to the imagination.

Don't wear your pants way too tight. Leave the boys some room to breathe, chief. If it's a struggle to button up your jeans and your fly looks like it's about to burst at the seams, consider sizing up.

O.K., we know you like the fact that your belt buckle doubles as a bottle opener. But you're going to a funeral, not a frat party. Choose a belt carefully.

Men look their best when it seems like they're not trying too hard. This looks like you're trying too hard. Leave pocket squares for jackets and put real handkerchiefs in your pants pocket.

Nothing kills a cool vibe faster than horrible eyewear on an otherwise dope outfit. Unless you're training for the X Games, leave those sport shades in the case, homie.

Technology's made performance shoes look really ugly. You think Tiger Woods bagged all those chicks wearing golf cleats with jeans? Get real.

Don't wear wifebeaters as shirts. If girls don't walk in the streets in bras, what makes you think you can?

Popping your shirt collar. Just no. Don't do it. Every time you pop your collar, a Guido Angel gets its wings.

Wearing loose fitting shirts with slimmer pants. Tall tees and skinny jeans will make you look like a member of "Alvin and The Chipmunks."

Overly sporty watches with more formal gear is a fail. That Timex is tight but do you need all those tech features at the prom?

Wearing a belt to compensate for pants that are just too big is not a solution. Just get the waist tailored or buy a new pair.

Wearing loose boxers with slim fitting pants makes it look like your jeans are throwing up excess fabric. Cop some boxer briefs.

At least wearing sunglasses indoors will make it hard to see everyone making fun of you.

Seriously, where did this come from? We want to know who's responsible for this so we can personally kick his ass.

You might be missing a belt loop on your pants. Be sure to check after you get strapped to make sure this doesn't happen to you.

Way to choke your feet. Plus, it looks like your kicks' tongues are about to pop. Loosen up.

Why so fancy, dog? French cufflinks are cool but definitely give off a dressy vibe. When worn without a jacket and in a casual context, it's more likely to say, "I have no idea what I'm doing," rather than, "check out my sweet cufflinks!"

First, you sweat. Then, your clothes stink. What more do you need to know really? After a workout, it shouldn't be much of a hassle to at least throw on jeans, a T-shirt, and a hoodie. Just think of it as burning more calories, bro.

Gingham and window pane do not equal successful style. Pattern matching requires a trained eye for these sorts of things (—see above). Don't just decide to throw on two different patterns willy-nilly. Start simple, like with textures. Mix corduroy and denim and then go from there.

You can tell by the length of a shirt if it was meant to be tucked in. Is it hitting at the middle of your thighs? Yeah, keep it in your pants.

Know the saying, "put on everything you want to wear and then remove one item?" Sometimes you should probably remove more than one. No need to rock a hoodie over a flannel under a vest, under a jacket, with a hat.

Keep the jewelry to a minimum and leave multiple rings and stacks of nylon bracelets to the street style set. Go for a maximum of two.

Chill on the laundry. Your suits don't need to go to the dry cleaner every week, and your shirts and pants aren't automatically dirty after one wear. Too much washing can deteriorate the fabric, so let your nose and eyes be your guide as to whether something's truly ready for the spin cycle.

Get your pants hemmed. The "break" is where your pants meets your shoe. Choose a little break at the bottom or no break above the shoe. Crumpled pant legs are never a good look. Save the cuffing for jeans and girls.

Things that should never see the inside of a dryer: jeans, buttondown shirts, high-quality dress socks, and sweaters. By putting some things in the dryer, you're technically slowly destroying a garment. It ain't worth the risk of losing your favorite COOGI Sweater, son!

Don't walk into a cologne mist. Spraying onto your pulse points helps the scent last longer, and a spritz behind the ears goes a long way with the ladies.

A shirt cuff should end at the point where your wrist meets your palm and just barley over your watch. A tailor can fix this. Having your hand swallowed by a sleevemakes you look like you're wearing your dad's shirt. Not a good look.

Unsightly bulges on dudes are not a good look. Slim cargo pants are in, but those side pockets are more decorative, not a place to hide your flask.

Your sleek hardbottoms or sick new sneakers would look better with a pair of slimmer, straight leg jeans. We're not saying skinny jeans, but something that doesn't totally eat up your shoe.

Don't focus too much on matching your sneakers and gear. It makes it look like you're trying way too hard. Worry about making sure your clothes don't clash.

The difference between a versatile sportcoat and a proper suit jacket? Color and cut, Casual blazers look great in versatile navys or grays. They'll also give you a lot more motion than you could get from your typical suit jacket.

What is this, 1985? Pauly D aside, no man should ever touch one of these things. They can dry your hair out too much and there's a variety of male-specific grooming products available to keep your head in check.

Wearing flip-flops anywhere but the beach, pool, or college shower is a style fail. Was this ever a good look? Just think about that sound they make when you're walking around. It's like the sound a truck makes to warn people it's about to back up, except this alerts the world that you're a douche.

Let's talk about the reef knot: when tying your shoes, make your first knot, then slip the right loop behind the left lace, and then pull the left lace through. The result should be a flat, balanced, horizontal knot. The more you know right?

Slim down your wallet by carrying only the things you'll need for that day. You really need to carry all them business cards and numbers for take-out 24/7? A great pair of chinos can look horrible if you've got a bugly back pocket ruining the silhouette.
