There is always so much focus on women's fashion, but the gender that really needs the style help is men. Some men know how to dress, but there are a number of trends in male "fashion" that are just not cutting it. Here are few of highlighted fashion blunder by men I see around: 1. Clothes that don’t fit – Overly baggy clothes will make you look you’re wearing sloppy hand-me-downs. If your body type makes it hard to find well-fitting clothes off the rack, make your tailor your best friend.  2. Wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie – Unless you work for a fast-food joint – where sleeves get dirty making sandwiches – avoid wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie. They are generally perceived as lower class apparel. If you want to stay looking professional and confident, stick to long-sleeve shirts when wearing ties.  3. Dirty shoes – It’s an area that too many guys overlook in terms of cleaning and proper care. A stylish man keeps his shoes clean – free of scratches and dirt.  4. Improper trousers length – Don’t fold up your jeans or your chinos unless it’s an intentional fashion statement that you’re making. Your trousers can come down to the bottom of your shoes but make sure they come just above the floor to avoid any unwanted fraying. Also, you only need a slight break, or crease, in the trousers leg. Don’t be the guy who has his feet swimming in a bunch of extra fabric. All it takes is a simple trip to the tailor to get them hemmed.  5. Wrong socks with a suit – When you’re wearing a suit, match your sock color to your trousers, not your shoes (for professional and formal occasions). This is the same as mismatching your suit trousers to your jacket. If you’re wearing a navy suit with black shoes, reach for navy socks. And when wearing a light suit, make sure the socks are darker than the suit but a shade or so lighter than the shoes. This rule of course can be broken if done deliberately for your style’s sake.  6. MISMATCHED BELT AND SHOES – If you’re wearing corporate shoes, make sure the color of your belt matches the color of your corporate shoes (for professional occasions). Also, the finish of the belt and shoes need to match. In other words, if your shoes are shiny, your belt should be shiny as well. If you’re wearing casual shoes or sneakers, make sure you wear a thicker casual belt to match instead of a thin corporate belt.  7. Improper tie length – A man’s tie should always end at the center of his belt buckle. A simple touch overlooked by many. Having a tie that’s too short or too long, can make a man look incompetent. [img]http://doanhnhanduongthoi.vn/uploads/images/news/1408072620_news.jpg[/img] 8. Being too “buttoned” up – If a jacket has two buttons, only fasten the top button. If it has three buttons, you can close the top button only, the middle button only, or both the middle and top button. The key is to always leave the bottom button undone. This is a tradition that has been used for decades, and will keep your style looking smart. 9. Socks and sandals – Have you seen anyone ever pull this off, and look sexy? Case closed.  10. CARTOON CLOTHING AND JOKE T-SHIRTS -These shirts are usually not that funny, and all they really tell people is that the wearer is immature. Cartoon characters can be cute, but usually not on a guy who's past puberty. Invest in classic pieces that will be stylish for years.  Cc Lalasticlala seun 5 Likes 2 Shares |

11. Wrinkled clothing – Unless you’re going for the “I sleep in these clothes” effect, keep all your clothes pressed and wrinkle-free. It’s a good habit to always hang up all your clothes – never throwing them on the floor of your room after use.  12. Wrong casual tie – If you’re wearing a tie as part of your casual outfit, go for a slimmer tie instead of the wider ones. Keep the wider ones for the office. You’ll look much more fashionable this way. [img]http://cdn11.lbstatic.nu/files/looks/large/2014/11/26/4168890_looks.jpg?1417003092[/img] 13. Wearing a backpack with a suit – Whenever I’m walking around the city of Lagos, I see a lot of professional people wearing nice suits – but carrying backpacks! Okay, a backpack may be easier to carry over your shoulders than a briefcase in your hand, but you can also get a comfortable messenger bag that hangs across your chest to maintain a more professional look. [img]http://theclassicgentleman.files./2011/05/suit-carrying-backpack.jpg[/img] 14. Excess cologne – If a woman can smell your cologne only when she’s close, great! She’ll have more reason to stay close. If a woman can smell you from across the room, does she need to come any closer? Depending on the strength of your cologne, use with caution. If your cologne loses it’s scent later in the day, simply reapply. A good rule of thumb is to limit it to two sprays – once on your neck and wrists.  15. Bulky pockets – I see a lot of guys walking around with bulging pockets. If it’s your wallet that’s creating that bulge, spend some time taking out all those old wallets, ID cards or business cards. If you need to hold on to them, keep them in a safe place and take them out when you need them. Get a slimmer wallet or a money clip to save space.  16.Hair in the back of their neck – Hair on the back of your neck needs to be managed well. If you don’t get haircuts too often, use a small mirror to check the back of your neck against another mirror, and use a razor to shave any hair that’s growing on the back of your neck. This will keep you looking sharp and well-groomed. [img]http://www.monkstownlaserskinclinic.ie/images/ipl_neck-05.jpg[/img] 17.Not tucking in dress shirts – If your shirt is long enough to cover your butt, it’s meant to be tucked in, except for polo shirt. The shirt is made longer so that when you sit down, with your shirt under your butt, your shirt doesn’t annoyingly lift out of your pants. If you’re someone who hates tucking in at casual settings, than make sure the dress shirts you wear are tailored shorter to come just above the halfway point of your gluteus maximus.  18. An innershirt is just that – an innershirt – An undershirt’s purpose is to absorb the sweat, dirt, and body oils that we all inevitably secrete, and prevent stains on your dress shirts. The name explains their purpose. It’s not meant to be worn as an actual shirt by itself, so avoid this fashion mistake and call your guys out on it when you can.  19. Oversized branding – Avoid clothes that make you look like a walking advertisement board. The advertisers would love this, but why wear a huge logo or brand name on your shirt unless you’re getting paid to?  20. TENNIS SHOES AND PANT TROUSERS You wouldn't wear corporate shoes with athletic shorts. Purchasing a nice pair of shoes is essential. Wearing sneakers or tennis shoes on pant trousers is a big no-no and makes you look completely tacky.  http://www.kinowear.com/40-common-mens-fashion-mistakes-to-avoid Cc: lalasticlala, Seun 8 Likes 5 Shares |

Polo top and plain trousers. Dressing that way makes one look villagious. Polo is meant to match with chinos or Jean trousers and not plain trousers. 1 Like |
