Guys: Pay close attention!!!

Jeepman said: “I think that most guys just dress for comfort rather than looking sharp.” FireBird85 said: “I dress purely on the intent of comfort rather than looks.” Although these statements seem really weird and abnormal from a girls view point, I agree with them because we can hardly find places where guys do research to fix your fashion problems. It does make sense to wear comfortable clothing and accessories but at times comfort can also make you look like a ridiculous fool! About.com has an article on 8 Men's Fashion Mistakes to Avoid and today we are going to look at five of the most important mistakes...

- Socks and sandals...shouldn't be a surprise to many of you. Either you have done this mistake or at least you would have seen someone do it. Socks do feel good on a cold day and sandals help us save time by not having to worry about tying the knot in our shoes. But the outcome of that combination is going to be bad. If you badly want to wear sandals please don't stay anywhere near Indiana. But if you do like it here then get used to the habit of wearing sneakers while going to class. The extra time you put into tying your shoe lace will make you look more put together for the occasion.

- Ho, Ho, Ho Ties, Shirts, Shorts...truly they bring out the spirit of Christmas but avoid them unless you’re inside your house opening presents on Christmas morning. With new technologies evolving everyday it is hard to say no to a tie that lights up and sings Rudolph the red nose Reindeer when you press the reindeer’s nose. It is okay to enjoy the fun as long as you are not seen by anyone. These novelty accessories and clothing only make you look childish and ridiculous.

- Gym bag to office/interview???...Wow, if you do this then you should seriously find the definition for business casual/formal outfit. Unless you are a TA at a university don't even think about carrying a backpack. There are tons of options and styles for professional looking bags with many features that are found in a backpack. So instead of wasting your time looking for the most versatile backpack, go to stores that sell official bags and purchase one. They will help you blend in well with others in the company instead of being titled the "Gym boy"! If the situation is truly unavoidable, then carry bags that do not make a statement or advertise a sports company.

- Fluorescent, glittery shirts/suits...I really pity your date or even the person sitting next to you. With all the grasps and stares you might think that you are the man of the party but you are actually the fool in the party. These shirts, however glamorous they look on celebrities; they do not suit any guy. If you really want to look hot at a party, then go for a solid black dress shirt with a relatively new jean and that should take care of the job!

- Baggy clothes...One might wonder if you have a rap group. If they ask you don't hesitate to say yes to having a rap group because if you don't you are going to make the local headlines! Loose fitting clothes are comfortable but baggy clothes just make you sloppy. It won't hurt to buy a bigger waisted pant as long as you have a good tailor who will alter the sides.
