From Manhood to Boyhood: Childish Clothes Men Shouldn’t Wear
It really is sad seeing Men and women who dress up like children. Sadly for us men, women get away with their childish clothing and their childish hairstyles (pigtails). Unfortunately for men childish clothes do not look good at all or anywhere need good at least. Just because this advice was given this doesn’t mean that you should throw everything out of the closet and change it every season (get real no one does that).
The Big Rapper Shirts
Trust me on this one, oversized tops are a big no-no. This look was probably still acceptable in high school but please grow-up. Sure Jay-Z is wearing it but at least he goes for the whole outfit with his Ferrari but if you have no intentions of being a rap star, drop it. Avoid baggy, shapeless garments that make you look like a balloon. You shouldn’t go topless either. Replace your big daddy shirts for Avoid baggy, shapeless garments that make you look like a balloon.
Backpacking
Out of school and into the real world. wearing a backpack is just plain kiddie. No matter how stylish the backpack is it would still look childish. Yes we all know that a backpack has more than ample space for your documents but a messenger bag does the same thing and has more style. The messenger bag makes professionals look more stylish and less like a tourist with their bulky backpacks. It’s time to trade in your rucksack for a more fashionable, adult alternative. A messenger with handles and a detachable shoulder strap is a great option for those who find themselves frequently traveling to business meetings, since it can double as a briefcase.
Baseball Caps
Sadly the truth is that grown men often use baseball caps to avoid bad hair days. Women, on the other hand, think that men who wear baseball caps are not “man material” because of the person looking under age or at least trying their best to look young. If your trying to attract a woman of legal age remember not to wear a cap, wear other fashion hats, like trilbies or driving caps if you must or just wear your hair right.
Holey Pants
It might be true that distressed pants may look hot , and they are, but wearing this too much to the point of replacing your regular jeans for these makes distressed pants your second skin. If these are the only jean that are available in your closet you must consider shopping for a new pair. Old styles or the “classics” are still in fashion for as long as you wear the right top with them. A nice pair of dark denims or light denims would go great with any top. Remember that the shape of the jeans is also important. Wear jeans that fit your body-type (this doesn’t mean tight-fitting jeans).
Sleeveless for Less
The people who like sleeveless shirts are those who wear them. There are two very sensible reasons to why you shouldn’t wear sleeveless shirts. First, unless your naked or in a bathing suit, women don’t want to wee that ugly armpit hair. Please hide those monstrous things or better yet shave, use hair removal cream or wax it off. Secondly, if you want to show the world your bulging biceps don’t wear a sleeveless shirt just because people will stare not in awe but in disgust. If you want to impress the ladies wear tight-fitting shirts to show those bulges.
Bling-bling
We all know your rich, if so hire a fashion adviser. Wearing multiple pieces of jewelry all at once is one of the mistakes rich guys make. Instead of wearing a clash of metal you should wear one piece of jewelry that says who you are. Most choose a watch but if that is not you try a plain cuff. Remember for jewelry, less is more.
Be A Man
