Hmm… I am just losing on all sorts of counts here. My hair is pink on one side, purple on the other, and shaved in the back. I’m just a walking fashon don’t!
As basic as it gets:
[ul][li]Don’t mix navy blue and black. Unless you know what you’re doing, 95% of the time you’ll look like a bruise.[/li][li]PLEASE, don’t wear a brown belt and/or shoes with black trousers.[/li][li]Socks should match the trousers, not the shoes[/li][li]Plaid with plaid is a big no-no[/li][li]The bottom button on your suit jacket is supposed to remain UNBUTTONED at all times.[/li][/ul]That is all.
Um, out of curiosity, what’s the difference between what you just said and what we said? 
It seems rather odd to call us bitchy when you did the same thing.
If it makes you feel any better, I never wear a slip, which for some reason was outlined as a major “don’t” earlier in the thread. (What are they going to see, my leg? Whoopity-doo!)
In addition to the no brown belt/shoes with black trousers WHICH I SEE IN GQ ALL THE TIME!!!: Please no light brown shoes with a grey suit. (I had a boss who did this, pointed it out to a co-worker who exclaimed: “Oh no he DIDN’T!” We then accosted him with it and his reply was “But they match my belt!!!” Whaaaaa?!)
I see a lot of guys with tan pants and a navy suit jacket. BLAH!!! I think it looks like crap but it’s really common.
Dear God, thank you. I thought I was the only one who twitched when I witnessed this phenomenon.

Here’s my bitch:
Is it so hard to get your hair cut every now and again? Girls who wear their hair long just for the sake of having long hair, here’s a memo: it doesn’t look good. I promise. I’ll loan you the $10 to go to Supercuts if you need it, but seriously, very long hair doesn’t look good on anyone.
One last thing. Get some new glasses occasionally, or get contacts.
Large women shouldn’t insist on wearing those little tiny backpacks on their backs… Is it me or doesn’t that make them look larger?
gee, Sophie, if i ever met you in real life and you tried to give me $10 to get a haircut, i’d laugh in your face. my hair is past my tailbone, and i get at least one compliment a day about how pretty it is.
there’s a big difference between “obvious fashion tips” and “obvious opinions on fashion” :rolleyes:
Women - and you kow who you are -
1: Please learn how to accessorize. Nice outfits with scuffed, worn, mis-matched shoes, purses and belts make you look clueless and sloppy.
2: Shoe polish is not for men only.
3: Leave huge purses at home unless you’re visting the grandkids. I don’t care if it’s your favorite purse. Don’t be a slob. Get a smaller purse if you’re going out!!
4: Leather is not eternal.
5: Get a decent watch. Cheap watches can ruin an entire look.
Men - you probably don’t know who you are
1: Get a haircut! The shaggy look went out with microbuses and polyester.
2: Trim your damn eyebroiws ear and nose hair. It’s disgusting!!
3: Keep your fingernails trimmed Count Dracula.
4: Beat up and worn belts and wallets make you look like a slob.
5: If you’re going to wear a watch make sure it’s not some tarnished, grimy worn out relic. Get a decent watch you cheap bastard!
6: Get a decent pair of shoes. Cheap shoes look cheap and wear out quickly. People do notice.
Women…
Please please please - if you have a huge arse - DON’T wear skin tight white lycra leggings…
Oh, actually skin tight lycra is BAD BAD BAD when it gives you a “camels foot” - and for god sake, if you’re gonna wear these things without underwear, SHAVE! - pubes catching the sunlight is sooooooo not good!
Men…
Please - no pasty white legs in plasticy “primary school” shorts…
And for god sake, if you can’t do better then bumfluff, then just let it blow away in the breeze… it just makes you look less then masculine!
hmmm… thinking of some more… ooooh this is fun! 
Toupees look awful. They do not look natural, no matter what anyone says.
If you have breasts, tight teeshirst and going topless are out. I hate to see a guy with bigger boobs than my 34A’s with no shirt on.
Yes!!! There was this one girl at my school (who was generally mean and annoying) who was literally shaped like a rectangle… She had one of those backpacks, that was like one foot square, and it’s poor little straps were stretched to sit in the middle of her back… it looked soo horrible.
Fellow Men- When the hair starts to fall out, take it like a man.
A. Toupe’: like skinning roadkill and glueing it on.
B. Comb-over: well need I say more?
C. Hair replacement: It’s come a long ways but your still not fooling anyone.
D. Shaved head: If you’re gonna do it, shave your head everyday. Otherwise it looks like your a balding guy trying to cover it up with a buzz cut.
I may be wrong but I think a women finds a hairless man with dignity better than a hairy man without self-respect.
I will most wholeheartedly second this motion. When I worked at Borders, I was treated one day to the sight of a woman whose toenails were LONGER THAN MY FREAKIN’ FINGERS. Painted bright effing purple and touching the ground in front of her sandals. I couldn’t look away. It was the most freakish thing I’d ever seen, and I’ve seen some pretty freakish stuff. I wanted to boil the carpets after she left.
OMG, bad flashback… I was in Italy a few years back, and there was a lady in the restaurant with no underwear under white, skin tight stretch stirrup pants. As it was, her figure wasn’t flattered by skintight pants, but that, erm, view really didn’t look good.
:eek:
Fortunately I have bookmarked this English slang dictionary to help in understanding you Brits. However, I must say, that if me bum was the standard for bumfluff, then the term would be referring to a Billy Gibbons-type beard.
I was going to post this same thing. I was at the Giants game last night and saw a guy with “he-hooters” wearing one of those tight, ribbed “star-trekkie” sweaters and wanted to boil my eyes.
I must laugh at my own ignorance this time. I thought “bumfluff” referred to the hair on a man’s ass. No wonder I didn’t understand the post.
I don’t care what month it is, Girls, or how brightly the sun is shining. If it’s cold outside, backless shirts and short shorts are INAPPROPRIATE.
I just got back from the coffee shop. I wore a tee-shirt, long blue jeans, socks, shoes, and a hooded sweatshirt. I was barely comfortable…almost cold even in my hoodie. Other practically-minded patrons were dressed much like me. Don’t you dare demand to have the heat turned on just because you don’t know how to feckin’ dress yourself!!!
