Someone Made This Simple Guide On Men’s Fashion That Illustrates The Dos, Don’ts, And ‘Oh God, Please Don’ts’

Someone Made This Simple Guide On Men’s Fashion That Illustrates The Dos, Don’ts, And ‘Oh God, Please Don’ts’

ADVERTISEMENT

Some wardrobe classics never age. Like the leather biker and white t-shirt combo. Or the shearling jacket and grey jumper match. However, for every timeless look, there’s one that will never work. Ever.

Some time ago, the events team at The Bold Italic was putting on a men’s fashion show. They asked content creator Jessica Saia to put something together for its promotion. After giving it some thought, Saia teamed up with Isla Bell Murray and took a detour from the normal route one could go about it. They made a do’s and don’ts guide filled with funny photos that “barreled off the rails of what anyone would ever think to do when dressing.”

“[It] sounded much funnier and more interesting,” she told Bored Panda. “I had a friend sew the super-deep-V-neck and my friend Luke modeled for the men’s outfits we’ve created. It was definitely one of the most fun articles I produced.”

“I’m certainly not a fashion trends expert; just someone who thought it’d be funny to explore ‘inverse cutoff shorts’ and wearing socks over your sandals. But I think there’s a spectrum of giving your wardrobe zero thought and way overthinking about trendy clothes,” Saia explained. “There are a lot of guys in San Francisco who seem to just wear whatever free clothes their company gives them with the logo on it, and I find these ugly outfits sort of uninspiring… but hey, people have different priorities. [For example,] my partner wears the same exact thing every single day like a cartoon character, and it works for him!”

SUNGLASSES

JORTS

WATCHES

BUTTON DOWNS

To those who haven’t found their look yet, Saia advised to just mix the familiar with the new. “Everyone has a favorite shirt or sweater; think about what you like about it and then try to find things that have those elements to it. Also, trying on a certain kind of jacket or pants that you’ve never worn before can be really surprising. No matter what the style is, having things fit makes a huge difference. And it’s worth remembering that the fashion industry is the second-largest polluter in the world, just behind the oil industry; so getting things that last or shopping at second-hand stores is a good way to go.”

That's not a normal V-neck. Read the caption "A deep V" and look how low it goes. It's not ridiculous like the last one, but it's still bad XD

Not too funny. I expecrted something about colour matching and stuff ... which is pretty simple anyway (no direct opposites, go two steps on a colour circle between shirt and tie, shirt is lightest colour, suit darkest, shirt has finest texture, tie biggest, suit none or equally fine, ...). Or "don't wear this to work, and then, like, a bavarian Dirndl for a guy, elephant panties for a woman, ... but this is boring.

Just wondering, like... why are you trying to tell men what do to with their own fashion and bodies? As a female, I'd be pretty miffed if this was an article on how women should and shouldn't dress... and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.

Do: your own fashion thing, whether that's stylistically conservative (as I tend towards), totally out there, or anything in between. Don't: stanch out all the individual personality and choices some make through their clothes. My little brother in the past would wear a Star Trek the Next Generation tie from the '90s (with the enterprise on it), and odd colorful t-shirts and hats he'd found at the thrift store. I used to wear bright colors but now I'm enjoying darker ones. Do what expresses you! You might look back and cringe at some of your choices, but you've still got to be you.

Someone has a man hating problem, looks like. There's nothing at all wrong with a man wearing a V-neck T, nor with wearing the longer "capri" shorts. They're both appropriately modest, and can be worn nearly everywhere. As an elderly woman (70), I actually appreciate seeing men dress for comfort, not as a means to impress others. My minister and his 21 and 18 year old sons wear V-neck T's, and his wife happily buys them whenever they need new ones. And I'm going out on a limb here, but whatever sunglasses a guy wants to wear should be up to him, not some anonymous, holier-than-thou contributor who is clueless as to what others want. Perhaps stop "contributing," seeing that your opinion isn't worth acknowledging.

The cut-off capri actually look kinda cool. Reminds me of korean fashion in the oversized aspect. Their fashion try to be playful/child like to give off innocent traits, but American are more into mature/sexy/sensual looks. So doubt it would look good here. It's just an opinion, everyone free to give opinion. The sandal one is funny.

I think the version in the middle always is the worst. The third one is awful but if one dresses like that, they are making a point for themselves. The middle one just says: I am not aware that my sense in fashion is awful so I am wearing this in full pride.

The only way this post makes sense is if it is meant as ironic commentary on the way women are prescribed what to wear. If it is, then congrats. If it is not... Well I promise you there is someone, somewhere in this world that can pull off every single one of these looks, because when you have an open mind you can admire the beauty of someone wearing an outfit they feel utterly comfortable in, regardless of what that outfit actually is.

I could tell you where to put your fashion advices. Of course the third options are deliberately made ridiculous but many of the second options make sense, and I have to say, that with sunglasses which are supposed to protect your eyes from sunlight, the second option is way better than the first.

This "article" (if you can even call it that) is absolute TRASH. Let people wear what they will. Sure, you might look at someone and think what they're wearing looks c**p, but so f*****g what? It's their life. Also, you have no way of knowing wether or not a person has serious economic problems and that might be why they are wearing what they're wearing or if it's because of something else. Why should it be acceptable for strangers to JUDGE others based on their own taste? We've all heard of the white socks in sandals thing. Well i'm currently using this every time i go outside. You see, i have to wear bandages on both my legs due to some nasty wounds that won't heal. Because of the bandages, sandals are the only footwear that fits me at the moment. White bandages + sandals = the big no-no.. I've gotten SO many views from people. It's clear that they feel i'm commiting some fashion crime.. You don't know anything about a stranger. STOP MEDDLING!

I know that they're trying to be humorous, but we're not in high school anymore. If someone is comfortable in a v-neck t-shirt then they should wear a v-neck t-shirt. Also, I ALWAYS wear socks with my sandals for the same reason I wear socks with my other shoes.

such a dumb and sexist post... the same way that men should NEVER tell a woman how to dress and judge her by her fashion choices, a woman should NEVER do that to a man. this is all kinds of wrong and demeaning - it plays into that outdated trope that men cannot dress themselves.

That's not a normal V-neck. Read the caption "A deep V" and look how low it goes. It's not ridiculous like the last one, but it's still bad XD

Not too funny. I expecrted something about colour matching and stuff ... which is pretty simple anyway (no direct opposites, go two steps on a colour circle between shirt and tie, shirt is lightest colour, suit darkest, shirt has finest texture, tie biggest, suit none or equally fine, ...). Or "don't wear this to work, and then, like, a bavarian Dirndl for a guy, elephant panties for a woman, ... but this is boring.

Just wondering, like... why are you trying to tell men what do to with their own fashion and bodies? As a female, I'd be pretty miffed if this was an article on how women should and shouldn't dress... and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.

Do: your own fashion thing, whether that's stylistically conservative (as I tend towards), totally out there, or anything in between. Don't: stanch out all the individual personality and choices some make through their clothes. My little brother in the past would wear a Star Trek the Next Generation tie from the '90s (with the enterprise on it), and odd colorful t-shirts and hats he'd found at the thrift store. I used to wear bright colors but now I'm enjoying darker ones. Do what expresses you! You might look back and cringe at some of your choices, but you've still got to be you.

Someone has a man hating problem, looks like. There's nothing at all wrong with a man wearing a V-neck T, nor with wearing the longer "capri" shorts. They're both appropriately modest, and can be worn nearly everywhere. As an elderly woman (70), I actually appreciate seeing men dress for comfort, not as a means to impress others. My minister and his 21 and 18 year old sons wear V-neck T's, and his wife happily buys them whenever they need new ones. And I'm going out on a limb here, but whatever sunglasses a guy wants to wear should be up to him, not some anonymous, holier-than-thou contributor who is clueless as to what others want. Perhaps stop "contributing," seeing that your opinion isn't worth acknowledging.

The cut-off capri actually look kinda cool. Reminds me of korean fashion in the oversized aspect. Their fashion try to be playful/child like to give off innocent traits, but American are more into mature/sexy/sensual looks. So doubt it would look good here. It's just an opinion, everyone free to give opinion. The sandal one is funny.

I think the version in the middle always is the worst. The third one is awful but if one dresses like that, they are making a point for themselves. The middle one just says: I am not aware that my sense in fashion is awful so I am wearing this in full pride.

The only way this post makes sense is if it is meant as ironic commentary on the way women are prescribed what to wear. If it is, then congrats. If it is not... Well I promise you there is someone, somewhere in this world that can pull off every single one of these looks, because when you have an open mind you can admire the beauty of someone wearing an outfit they feel utterly comfortable in, regardless of what that outfit actually is.

I could tell you where to put your fashion advices. Of course the third options are deliberately made ridiculous but many of the second options make sense, and I have to say, that with sunglasses which are supposed to protect your eyes from sunlight, the second option is way better than the first.

This "article" (if you can even call it that) is absolute TRASH. Let people wear what they will. Sure, you might look at someone and think what they're wearing looks c**p, but so f*****g what? It's their life. Also, you have no way of knowing wether or not a person has serious economic problems and that might be why they are wearing what they're wearing or if it's because of something else. Why should it be acceptable for strangers to JUDGE others based on their own taste? We've all heard of the white socks in sandals thing. Well i'm currently using this every time i go outside. You see, i have to wear bandages on both my legs due to some nasty wounds that won't heal. Because of the bandages, sandals are the only footwear that fits me at the moment. White bandages + sandals = the big no-no.. I've gotten SO many views from people. It's clear that they feel i'm commiting some fashion crime.. You don't know anything about a stranger.
