When we put together a list of things beautiful, influential women wanted guys to stop wearing, it ruffled a few feathers, to say the least. After the shitstorm passed over and we emerged lawsuit-free, a bunch of the industry's most stylish guys approached us asking when we were going to put together a list that countered the original so they flip the script and air their grievances.
We're not saying that women dress solely to catch the attention of men, but if they ever wanted an honest answer from stylish guys about their typical fashion choices, this is it. We swear, these dudes are sweethearts deep down, but these are 16 Things Stylish Guys Want Women to Stop Wearing.

Rob Garcia

"Stop using couch upholstery to make your pants."
Ronnie Fieg
Occupation: Owner of Kith NYC
What he hates: Sheepskin boots
"Prime example of one mammal putting another mammal out of style. I don't even eat lambchops anymore."
Noah Callahan-Bever
Occupation: Chief Content Officer at Complex Media
What he hates: Drop crotch pants
"There are few items of clothing which do as effective a job of hiding all feminine curves, making it as close to absolutely fucking impossible for even Sherlock motherfucking Holmes to tell if there is indeed junk in that trunk."
Dennis Todisco
Occupation: Marketing Manager at Diamond Supply Co.
What he hates: Oversized shirts
"When it comes to that oversized 'I stole this from my boyfriend' look, it pays to have the item tailored so it's not totally unflattering."
Curtains
Occupation: Brand Director of En Noir
What he hates: Wedges
"Wedges (except Marant sneakers). I haaaaaaate wedges. Like hate seeing them. A girl could look so good walking and once I realize she got on wedges she automatically becomes ugly to me."
Joe La Puma
Occupation: Director of Content Strategy at Complex Media
What he hates: M-65s with fake leather sleeves
"This just has to stop."
Micah Cohen
Occupation: Designer of Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen
What he hates: Peplums
"I wish girls would stop wearing peplum anythings. How does adding layers of folded fabric at your waist look flattering?"
Jason Wolter
Occupation: Creative Director of En Noir
What he hates: Bandage dresses
"Bands maybe make her dance, but they sure as hell don't look good on her."
Pete Williams
Occupation: Editor-in-chief of HighSnobiety
What he hates: Sheepskin boots
"Maybe an obvious choice but...sheepskin boots. Especially in the dead of winter. You know these were originally invented for Australian surfers to wear on the beach, right? These are not -40 boots and the last thing I want to see when I'm freezing my nuts off is a girl walking around in a pair of slouchy, blown-out, salt-stained foot bags. Disgusting."
Lawrence Schlossman
Occupation: Editor-in-chief of Four Pins
What he hates: Fake Isabel Marant sneakers
"I know you think you're faking it 'til you make it, but now we all just know you're broke."
Guillermo Andrade
Occupation: Owner of 424 on Fairfax
What he hates: Grills, fake Chanel
"First off, if you wear high heels learn how to walk in them and never never ever ever take them off at the club. Michael Kors watches—please just buy a fake Rolex instead. Oh, and Isabel Marant makes more than just one sneaker, you know. Ladies, please leave the gold grill to the fellas. PLEASE. And the fake Chanel... Come on!!"
Bradley Carbone
Occupation: Trend Marketing Manager at adidas
What he hates: The "hot streetwear chick" look
"It's getting a little boring."
Chris Stamp
Occupation: Owner of Stampd LA
What he hates: Cheap platform heels
"The world could do without platform shoes that make the average girl over eight feet tall, especially if they are neon yellow. Heels are supposed to make a girl feel sexy, not seconding as a WNBA player. Certain things have their place and those platform eight inch heels belong in only one type of club."
Max Osbourne
Occupation: Designer of Public School
What he hates: Kitten heels
"They are just stupid. Either go high or don't go at all."
Eddie Huang
Occupation: Author, TV Host, and Chef
What he hates: Slogan T-shirts
"Any article of women's clothing declaring some combination of: bad bitch, dimepiece, baddest bitch, etc. gots to go. ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ASS IS FLAT SHUT THE FUCK UP AND EAT CRONUTS 'TIL YOU CAN MAKE IT CLAP."
