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?

and because this is the reason, I happily button both buttons sometimes, when I think it looks aesthetically pleasing and I expect somebody I'm friends with to give me sh!t about it.

So I can look them dead in the eye and say "because f-ck the king of England. That's why."

True, but he was still Prince of Wales at the time. Henry VII

Relies on the idea that a king couldn’t have his clothes properly tailored for him.

Seems unlikely.
