Your sartorial pet peeves?

If you can find them, I would recommend disposable dress shields.

You’ll want to put them in the blazer, not the shell. :slight_smile:

(But, yes, I do see your point. Back when I had to wear business style clothes, I made it a point to avoid anything sleeveless if it was white and/or dry clean only.)

That reminds me of another one:** Leggings are not pants**. I keep trying to convince my 19-year-old co-worker of this, but that’s a losing battle.

For whatever reason, I simply can’t stand the super short jackets worn over the super long shirts that hang down over (or cling to) to one’s derriere. It makes non-fat girls look like they got dressed in the dark and fat girls look horrifying. Basically it flatters no one and hurts my eyes. Make it stop.

Not a thing I can think of. Yum.

I can’t stand young girls who dress like Han Solo circa Empire Strikes Back. Leggings, vests, furry boots. Not a good look.

This is what I dropped in to post! I’m with you – this is not a good look for anyone on earth. It gives the impression of wearing a Barbie jacket.

Uggs with short shorts in the middle of summer in LA. Ugh is right.

Is it really bad to wear socks with sandals? My feet sweat if I wear sandals without socks.

I have heard that Levis have “updated” the cut on what they’re calling 501s these days by reducing the rise. Personally, I switched to Wranglers some years back, as they’re better made and come in normal-rise varieties that sit a centimetre or two below my bellybutton.

And that’s a problem? If it wasn’t for long shorts, I wouldn’t wear shorts at all. I’m a skinny guy, my shins have great muscular definition, but I have knobbly knees and my thighs aren’t much to look at. I won’t publicly wear shorts that show too much leg. And I love wearing shorts. I’m wearing shorts right now. Knee length shorts are the most dignified option if you’re not built like a sportsball player. Or even if you are.

…but (getting back to the point of this thread) PUSH YOUR SOCKS DOWN! LONG SOCKS WITH SHORTS ARE NOT A GOOD LOOK EVER! The whole point of shorts is ventilation, if your shins are covered you might as well be wearing long trousers. Plus it looks stupid. Push your socks down to the top of your shoes/boots. Scrunch them up. If your shoes and socks fit properly, the socks won’t fall down. On the other hand, those super-short below-the-ankle socks? An abomination.

Yes, sir, yes it is.

Are you saying that your feet get hotter without socks than with? Because that makes no sense… unless you’re wearing plastic sandals like, ugh, Crocs. If you are, please stop.

Ah, another one. What happened with pockets on men’s dress shirts. A few days ago, I was at a nice shopping mall. None of the shirts on sale had pockets.

If my feet sweat, the socks absorb the moisture. The sandals don’t. And no, I wear leather sandals.

I have a problem with shirt buttons that break also. I think what causes this is not the dry cleaning per se, but the pressing of the shirt. Whenever you apply an extremely hot iron to plastic buttons the buttons will be prone to crack.

Well, unless you’repushing back Rommel in North Africa. Or banking or practicing lawin Bermuda.

The first, yes. The second looks like a Monty Python skit about flashers.

Only because we’re forced to by the lack of useful pockets on our clothes. This is my biggest peeve in clothes meant for women.

On the male side, the sagging look. I really do not care to know what color underwear a stranger is wearing, or watch said stranger walking around clutching his crotch so his pants don’t fall any further down. I’m especially unfond of the skinny jeans with saggy butt. That particular look always makes me think there’s an overloaded diaper involved somewhere.

Yes, well said. The Bermudans illustrate my point perfectly.

The makers must have read the OP.

Fat people who are unwilling to go to the gym or make the effort to get skinny

That’s not really “sartorial.”
