In my opinion, You got number 1-3 wrong

What you wrote there was based on how you dress.

I have seen a lot of male models wearing short sleeve shirts with straight ties on runways.... showing how men should appear during Summer..

In terms of socks, u should have said it was not cool to wear short socks on formal shoes.... just saying Because u cannot be serious if u tell me that short socks does not look good on Snickers...

You totally lost me in case of "warped shoes"I have no idea where u got that from...

Wearing of stockings inside shoe when putting on traditional attire is a BiG fashion blunder

I disagree. Shoes are English not traditional hence shoes should always go with socks. So it's either you wear a traditional attire with sandals or you wear it with shoes AND STOCKINGS

there s nothin like fashion blunder dats y its calld fashion ..its nt uniform...in fashion, u come out anyhow u like...all ds fashion we see, someone came up wt d idea...there was a time it was nt right...d main tin s u bin able to convince d public dat ur outlook s proper weda crazy or nt...take for instance, ankara jacket was once a blunder bt is it stil a blunder?...ankara suit was once wrong...tuck in without socks was once wrong bt, if it s nt an official ish, u r gud to go without socks (although mind d shoe)
personally, I dress hw I like so far it looks nice to me...d only tin I put to consideration is color combination

Nah....I'm no colour riot babe grin. ..I do better than that. gone are the days when people were afraid to wear colours. grin

Ever heard of the 'at most 5 colour rule'; but must be complimentary colors and neutral colours, makeup colours inclusive ? I have always
used that to my advantage. over time, I've learnt the art of flawless colour combinations.

for instance, I wear a fushia jacket, light pink camisole & navy blue skirt. then I'll wear a navy blue pumps but I won't carry a navy bag...for what

I'll typically carry a cream or beige or brown bag. grin

another one, a skirt suit with a lemon/dash of ivory top with an ivory skirt. I'll wear a lemon shoe + a silver bag..and generally silver jewellery.

I corrected someone about that number 1 and he almost slapped me. It's a turn off for me.

Your sense of 'fashion rules' seems static and stereotype. Wearing ties on short sleeves is an all time classic. Its common among the Brits and some 'old school' Americans. I personally love it.

Anyone who subscribes to hard and static fashion rules seems a fashion slave to me. Fashion is as dynamic as individual peculiarities and no one should fruitlessly attempt to impose his or her ideas on others.

The best you would have said to the guy is suggesting your preference, not 'correcting' someone who may know more than you think you do. Next time be civil to avoid some deafening slaps.

Okay...... I suggested not corrected. Pardon me. I can only wear tie with short sleeve only when I want to be on full "old school" with a 'Michael Jackson' type of trouser or knicker.

4. Buttons on Suits


It’s considered a fashion blunder to button up your suit jacket. If it’s a suit with 3 buttons, button 2 and fly one. And if it’s a 2 button suit, button up one and fly the other.
. I disagree with that, if we tie one button and leave d oda ar u saying that those that put button there dn't knw wat they ar doin abi..then wats d essence of that button there?
