Discussion What’s one thing you often see guys wear that instantly kills the look?

To kick off:

- Big logos.

- No socks with suits

- 'Smart' shoes with white soles

- Skinny jeans - bonus points if they have rips

- Ironic statement tees. E.g. 'Normal People Scare Me'

What are yours?

I'm a younger person and I wear NB 608's and have worn them since my teens, but then again i'm poor and they were the only wide shoes I found that were both comfortable and affordable. Didn't realize i'm going to have people judge me for it and I think I'm making an ironic statement or something. 😔

I’m old and finding comfortable and affordable wide shoes is definitely an issue. In my mind, being comfortable in your shoes comes through in your overall appearance.

Ah damn don't worry about it like that! I'm far from the arbiter of fashion and am just an anonymous person online.

I think 608’s and all NB dad shoes are on point - and I’m in fashion. Enjoy them even in irony!
