a compendium of SINS for the stylish man
- Number one
Dry ankles
Nothing says 'catwalk chic' more than a pair of loafers carefully juxtaposed with ankles and no socks. However, if the aforementioned ankles are dryer than a Bedouin barbecue, little blue men with backwards feet will locate you and kill you. Or not. - Number two
deep vs
Men who wilfully expose their cleavage and aren't members of JLS or TOWIE, are statistically more likely to become serial killers. (The previous statement may or may not be true.) - Number three
sports socks
Wearing white socks with a suit was fine for Michael Jackson because he was the World's Greatest Entertainer and taught us to dance. Your name is Colin. No need to digress on this one, we think. - Number four
overmatched colours
Red Hat? Check. Red Jacket? Check. Red Belt? Check... Follow the trend and YOU too can look like a Dulux colour chart! - Number five
bandanas
Tupac wore a bandana, but he was one of the finest orators of his generation. Yes, we know you're the best at Def Jam Rap Star in your house, but it just isn't the same… - Number six
cheap sunglasses
If you buy your sunglasses for £5 off a rack and they're displayed alongside 'funky, oversized comedy frames', there's a good chance you share a bunkbed with your 35 year old younger brother. Not cool, friend. Not cool. - Number seven
double polos
What you see: I'm a quirky guy at the cutting edge of fashion. Adore me.
What we see: I'm a grown man who watches 'One Tree Hill' in my Mum's basement. Naked. - Number eight
extreme shirt collars
Think John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. If you're (still) walking to a Bee Gees soundtrack, we can't help you here. Only God can. - Number nine
arab style scarves
Justin Bieber wears one. That should be all we have to say. - Number ten
hanging toys from your neck
“Indeterminate sexual preference. Something retro on my necklace." Google: 'Dickhead song.' Listen intently and hang your head in shame. - Number eleven
creased shirts
It’s all well and good adopting a more boho feel to your attire...
...but you look like you’re on your way to Ms. Ronaghan’s English class after a gruelling session of double P.E. - Number twelve
Over accessorising
Less is more. The LESS you look like the bastard child of Claire's Accessories and Tie Rack vomited all over you, the MORE often pretty girls will talk to you. (This may or may not be true). - Number thirteen
hanging toys from your necj
Less is more. The LESS you look like the bastard child of Claire's Accessories and Tie Rack vomited all over you, the MORE often pretty girls will talk to you. (This may or may not be true). - Number fourteen
hanging toys from your necj
Less is more. The LESS you look like the bastard child of Claire's Accessories and Tie Rack vomited all over you, the MORE often pretty girls will talk to you. (This may or may not be true). - Number fifteen
hoodies under blazers
Wearing a hooded jumper under your suit makes as much sense as wearing a pair of loaves of bread as shoes. Yes they do a job but it is still very wrong. - Number sixteen
hanging toys from your necj
Less is more. The LESS you look like the bastard child of Claire's Accessories and Tie Rack vomited all over you, the MORE often pretty girls will talk to you. (This may or may not be true).
