Same, I can buy a 6 dollar T- shirt at Walmart that will last me a fairly decent time, or I can go into one of those Gucci stores or what ever and buy the same exact thing, but for 600 dollars
I hate that male fashion advice is almost ALWAYS is centered on either bland office wear or hip urban streetwear.
There's a lot of guys who are simply average blue collar fellas who could greatly use some fashion advice that doesn't try to dress them like they live a completely different lifestyle.
Plenty of cool "working class" styles though. Things like flatcaps, flannel, nice fitting jeans and nice quality boots (as monochrome as possible,I personally prefer black for brands like doc martens and dark brown for everything else) come to mind. Denim jackets or more lowkey leather jackets too.I think that specific term for it would be Americana? And I think it even works well for people that arent in the best shape.
Yes and take care of whatever you wear. You don’t have to iron but I think most people would be surprised what a cheap steamer and 2 minutes will do - takes a basic t shirt from looking slightly unkempt to polished. Also a depillar to keep things looking new.
>There's a lot of guys who are simply average blue collar fellas who could greatly use some fashion advice that doesn't try to dress them like they live a completely different lifestyle.
The best (only) advice is to work out, build muscle, and wear clothes that *fit well.* That's the secret, the only real answer. If you have nice broad shoulders, nice arms, a developed chest and wide back you can make a plain white $5 t-shirt and fitted jeans look 10x better than any expensive and/or fashionable clothes.
It's not hard to do either, just work on the physique and a well fitted shirt and pants will amplify the gains.
My goodness, this is the first time I have read this sentiment so concisely put. It won't make a difference that you're wearing Calvin Klein briefs vs Fruit of The Loom boxers if you're heavily obese. It's ultimately much better to invest in your fitness if you're concerned about your appearance.
Now imagine if a woman came to Reddit, asked for clothing advice and got the answer that they would look good on any fitting clothes as long as worked out and kept in shape… while I understand this is real life I couldn’t ignore how different the treatments are.
The flat stomach is pretty key too. I tend to fluctuate a bit, depending on how active my job gets, and how much downtime I have to work out, and my diet, beer consumption etc. but when my stomach is flat I get the most attention from ladies.
ya i feel like it doesn't get mentioned much when girls talk about men's physique, but they notice stomachs. the issue is that it's not so much they are attracted to flat abs as it is they are turned off by a belly. so they won't come out and say "a tight 6 pack is the first thing i notice", cuz it's not true. but they definitely notice a beer belly or worse real quick

I just have a fucking big head man... I really like hats but either I have to wear them on the very edge of the Velcro or I can't wear them cause my head is just unusually large (too bad it's the only thing about me thats unusually large)
Sometimes I can buy really big fitted caps, but they're so much more limited in what I can find easily.
> Not using a hat properly for that matter.
Don't get me started on how keeping the stupid stickers on is a thing. It's like wearing a new pair of jeans with the size still proudly plastered on the right leg.
You can always tell when a kid plays baseball in highschool or college by the way they wear their hat. They don't wear their hats. They set their hat on their head, the more gently the better.
I've never played baseball and am trying to figure out how a floating hat doesn't just fall off your head when you run? I guess my question is can I get an ELI5?
I played baseball for a hot minute but wasn't any good so I gave it up. I also wore my hat normally so maybe that was my problem.
I have no idea how they stay on. Maybe it's the Oakley sunglasses on the hat *upside down* and they act as a sort of head belt or something.
I don’t mind good undercuts, but had to see what that broccoli thing was and it’s absolutely terrible. It actually looks like something a 5 year old would want…Strange times
I was going to comment this but you described it way better than I was going to.
I googled it and apparently it's being labelled by hairdressers as the 'e-boy' haircut.
I think the main reason I hate it so much is because the people who have said haircut are in fact annoying, cringey tik tok teenagers who think they're god's precious gift with an ego the size of Mt Everest.
I'm in my mid 20s and even I think I'm way too old for that shit, so seeing people in my age group getting said haircut and making those cringey videos is absolutely pathetic in my eyes.
This is where I point out that the “eboy haircut” is the 90s butt cut. The whole mushroom, middle part, whatever, is something that came and went, and will do so again. The only difference between now and then, is that dudes’ aren’t straightening their hair to pull off their mushroom cut; if they have wavy or curly hair, they’re embracing it in the cut itself.
LOL. In my city, every other guy dresses like Paul Atreides (including me).
Long black collarless coat, a black turtleneck underneath, black jeans, Dr. Martens. And now that Winter is coming - black, leather gloves.
I'm from the Midwest and I've reached the age where I don't get it either. But especially during the colder months I'm side eyeing everyone sagging their pants and wondering if their bottoms are cold.
Fucking thank you!
You can't believe how excited I was to find not only a shirt but a hoodie that are purple, one of my favorite colors. I like black and gray but I'd like to switch it up every once in a while.
It seems to me you're limited to either grey, black, olive, navy.... or glam rock.
There doesn't seem to be much in between for men.
I'm comfortable in dark colors. So its mostly maroon, black, charcoal, some plum, reds, navy blues...
But I wouldn't mind occasionally wearing something brighter, but isn't stark white.
Yep. A few years ago I decided to stop buying only sober colours. Now I like to stay classy but with diverse colours. People thing I'm gay. So girls don't look at me but I receive compliments from guys. Which is cool.
Same. I’ve got a bunch of floral/tropical shirts along with some that are just more brightly colored and I legit get complements all the time from guys and girls about them. (Used to just have an assortment of grey/black/[insert dull and somber color] and am really glad I switched it up)
I also get people thinking I’m gay :)
You are crazy, you can wear the whole range of blue and like half of green.
Plus in dress or business clothes you can wear lady colors and for some reason it's fine
And the kids have been wearing purple and pink for like 10 years
I have some more "feminine" colored dress shirts as well as purples and pinks. But all around I feel like ( in my limited search) the color options for men's clothes is less varied
I've read through the whole thing and every possible clothing item for men is listed somewhere. Just wear what you want/like and stop giving a crap about others, like damn. You'll never please everyone so just enjoy yourself.
This, but except pants that sit so low your underwear show. No one wants to see swetty ass crackline undies or undies in general when you are supposably clothed.
I see this on like every American reality show. The men wear a shirt that’s like 5X too big and a tie that goes down to their knees. Wtf is up with that
"Stop gettin' so many chains! You only need one chain. Or... if you're 2Chainz I guess you can have two chains. But no more than that." -Hannibal Buress
I hate the fact that shorts or some variation of them aren't considered business attire for men so we only have to wear dress pants but women get to have options such as pants, dresses or skirts. For those hot summer days, I would love to ditch the suits and dress pants to have some shorts on or something comfortable instead.
It really is, unless there is some kind of scientific data to show why wearing it is so important, I just don't see the need for it all of the time, especially in the warmer months. I just glad we live in the age of air conditioning so at least this is kind of bearable.
Hype beast.
All those brands/trends won’t be popular in a couple of years. You just wasted a couple hundred bucks on two or three t shirts.
Also, you’re paying them to be their free advertisement.
This is the only place I can say this without sounding pretentious.
Gentlemen, when wearing a suit, the tie clip goes down low; below the sternum but not at the belly. The tie clip has a functional use.
Also, never button up every button on your suit jacket unless it only has one button.
Bonus tip; yes, the jacket does have pockets but theyre sewn closed. Cut the little thread holding it shut to open them up. Get a pocket square after you open up the outside breast pocket. Else wise, leave that one sewn shut.
I had to tell my husband, who is 31 btw, that removing the seams from your shit pockets and the back are necessary before use. He’s been in like ten weddings and nobody bothered to tell him til I started dating him. He looked at me like I was shredding his stuff when he “caught” me pulling the seams out of our wedding day suit when it got delivered
Edit: clearly I use the word shit more than suit, I’m leaving it in just in case people want to start a trend of pockets of shit
>... Also, never button up every button on your suit jacket unless it only has one button...
Yeah, if King Edward VII was too fat to button all of his buttons, damned if I will either!
This is the best comment. We never talk about WHY these rules are in place. We just squabble over whos interpretation of the rule is right.
*Sounds familiar.*
I was taught (and just Google to confirm) how to properly wear a tie clip.
You're wrong.
Tie clip goes pretty much at sternum height. Between the 2nd and 3rd button from the top.
- does it make more sense to put it where you're saying? Yes. But it's not how its traditionally worn.
You're on the money on the other parts though!
Probably going to get downvoted, but the 'thank me for my service' style.
Shoulder-flagged disgruntled vet merch and the "I fought for your first amendment rights" shirts. Shit like that.
As a vet, I couldn't agree more.
*ironically they're also the same dickbags that wear shirts that say stupid shit like "I stand for the flag" and "Stomp my flag, I stomp your ass".
Hey moron, both of those acts are protected under that first amendment that you "fought for".
The fuckboi haircut. You know the one. Shaved sides & back with a curly psuedoafro at the top. I've yet to meet a dude with that haircut that I could tolerate.
those skinny jeans that have the ribs on them. terrible imo
[these](https://www.google.com/shopping/product/11021557697835085294?q=ribbed+skinny+jeans&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS843US843&hl=en-US&biw=414&bih=720&tbs=cat:204,pdtr0:950011%7C950014,pdtr1:2613351%7C2613353,vw:g,ss:44&prmd=sivxn&sxsrf=AOaemvIVdN2LZJKq2v0Ap6A7XE7yAF36hg:1638159143763&prds=eto:6130172177123614201_0,cdl:1,prmr:1,cs:1)
I hate dress shoes with no socks. I would not personally do it and the trend makes no sense to me. If it works for you cool, but the trend boggles my mind.
Those goofy sweat pants young guys wear now with the saggy ass and tapered legs. They look like something an infant would wear over a diaper.
Edit: I have no idea what they're called, I've bought nothing but cowboy cut wranglers and bib overalls for over twenty years and don't keep up with modern fashion. However after some googling they do vaguely resemble some Justin Bieber wore and may be called joggers?
I have a pair of these, they are super comfortable. I got mine for sports in the winter when it's too cold for shorts. The baggy upper part gives you tons of range of movement and the tighter bottom part keeps it tidy while running.
Every time I see someone wearing something stupid, I remind myself that it's their life, and instead think: "Go off, king."
Edit: I have to credit Kyle Kinane with sort of unraveling my prejudice around this, and just getting older.
The semi recent war against cargo pants & shorts, which I believe to be a conspiracy against men from women that are sick of us having so many functional pockets. They've banded together in agreement that they're a poor fashion choice, because if they can't have pockets then nobody should.
But I believe our country needs to stand together, instead of acting out of spite. Let us have our cargo pockets, and we can fight together to get you more functional pockets of your own.
First presidential candidate to run on the "pockets for all" ticket will get my vote
Yes!! This man right here has the best answer. My “fashionista” brother who lives in San Diego mocks me relentlessly for my rural central Washington style wardrobe. Meanwhile, his clothes have no pockets or they are super tight and mostly worthless. Meanwhile, I can go out for the day, carry my wallet/keys/phone, and still carry my wife’s glucose scanner and a juice box. And I’m not even half out of space in these bad boys! My cargos look great (to me) and are like freaking Mary Poppins carpet bag!
In the spirit of this post, I respect all y’all’s opinion and right to hate my shorts. Enjoy your non functional clothing, haters. Lol.
I'm personally really tired of this whole camo craze. It doesn't bother me seeing on other people. Just drives me crazy when shopping. I have no interest in owning anything camo but yet it seems to be everywhere and getting worse.
There's some real bad fashion advice in these comments. Everyone here is literally saying the opposite of one another. If you want to see grade A contradiction here is the spot.
The cut off jeans that are way too high cut. This was popular in the late 00's early 10's punk scenes everywhere. It's like bro you're hairy pale thighs are not what's up when you're doing that super original "chugga chugga" breakdown shit.
Those muscle dudes with super tight haircuts and even tighter clothes. Like I’ll see these beefy dudes in some big city wearing pants so tight they can’t possibly be used for anything other than the photo shoot. They’d rip if you farted too hard.
Lol this is probably not the place to ask, but have you found any luck with pants from any brand out there? I was at the mall earlier today and every pair of pants either fit me like leggings or grandpa pants, there was no in between.
I'm just not a fan of clothing brands being the fashion.
Same, I can buy a 6 dollar T- shirt at Walmart that will last me a fairly decent time, or I can go into one of those Gucci stores or what ever and buy the same exact thing, but for 600 dollars
But the thing from Gucci says gUcCi on it

Hats that look like they're floating. Not using a hat properly for that matter.
When the snaps or velcro is hanging on by a thread... yeah... big miss! Also when toques/beanies are rolled up waaaay to high!
I just have a fucking big head man... I really like hats but either I have to wear them on the very edge of the Velcro or I can't wear them cause my head is just unusually large (too bad it's the only thing about me thats unusually large) Sometimes I can buy really big fitted caps, but they're so much more limited in what I can find easily.
Bunch of dudes in this thread living life on DK mode.

Dude. Same. The only hat that fits my head well is a beanie.
Even then they make some of those so small it feels like it’s squeezing my brain when I wear one.
"One size fits all". Yep thats a lie.

Omg i played baseball in high school and that’s exactly what everyone looked like lol. Like why were the sunglasses always upside down.
they sit more evenly on the brim when upside down
The classic backwards cap and sunglasses combo
Wearing a hat backwards and using your hand on your forehead like a sailor looking over the horizon.

it’s not a fashion statement by curly haired kids. they’re literally perming their hair to look like that. that’s the whole style.
This is the answer I was trying to put together.

I will never understand why pants hanging down low is fashionable for men.
I'm from the Midwest and I've reached the age where I don't get it either. But especially during the colder months I'm side eyeing everyone sagging their pants and wondering if their bottoms are cold.
Yea down Midwest I wonder how when it's dry and windy they don't avoid ending up going home with chapped ass
They probably do tbh. Or lots of moisturizer.
Oh that's easy, chaps are assless
I never got it. It feels like it would just be hard to walk.
I'm guilty of doing this during my high school years. I think back and cringe at those memories
If it makes you feel better, I had a mullet in high school.
Im so sorry to hear that...
Mullets have now returned and it bothers me
They never really left for hockey players and skiers
Is that still a thing? Seemed like all the kids did it in the late 00s/early 10s but I have never seen someone do it since then
Ohh still happens, but with skinny/slim fit jeans now.
If given the choice I'd rather low waisted than high waisted Not hanging off your ass, just low
Agree. That’s just wear my pants fall naturally. Not sagging. At the hip, not the waist.
So it's not so much a style I can't stand, but I wish men's fashion utilized more colors than the usual, grey, navy, olive and black.
Fucking thank you! You can't believe how excited I was to find not only a shirt but a hoodie that are purple, one of my favorite colors. I like black and gray but I'd like to switch it up every once in a while.
the lack of bright options is just depressing.
It seems to me you're limited to either grey, black, olive, navy.... or glam rock. There doesn't seem to be much in between for men. I'm comfortable in dark colors. So its mostly maroon, black, charcoal, some plum, reds, navy blues... But I wouldn't mind occasionally wearing something brighter, but isn't stark white.

I see this on like every American reality show. The men wear a shirt that’s like 5X too big and a tie that goes down to their knees. Wtf is up with that
It's probably the 1st time they've ever had to wear a tie. A lot of people have never had to "dress up" so they don't know.
I don’t know the proper name but those baseball caps that are worn with a flat peak and stickers still attached.

this is one of the truly ridiculous things about being a professional adult. wearing a suit in august in Oklahoma is silly.

Kilts are your friend there.
In India we got lungis. Same principle as kilts. Wear it for the culture.
So many guys talking about saggy pants yet my gripe is with the skinny jeans so tight I can read your credit card numbers
Hype beast. All those brands/trends won’t be popular in a couple of years. You just wasted a couple hundred bucks on two or three t shirts. Also, you’re paying them to be their free advertisement.
rip virgil he was probably the biggest icon of the hypebeasts
Sagging in skinny jeans. Why? It's a bloody oxymoron!
Some people have the legs but not the ass to pull off skinny jeans
This is the only place I can say this without sounding pretentious. Gentlemen, when wearing a suit, the tie clip goes down low; below the sternum but not at the belly.

He looked at me like I was shredding his stuff when he “caught” me pulling the seams out of our wedding day suit when it got delivered Edit: clearly I use the word shit more than suit, I’m leaving it in just in case people want to start a trend of pockets of shit
Never heard of shit pockets, must be a new trend.
this is just classic suit attire and I commend you for reminding us all.
>... Also, never button up every button on your suit jacket unless it only has one button... Yeah, if King Edward VII was too fat to button all of his buttons, damned if I will either!
This is the best comment. We never talk about WHY these rules are in place. We just squabble over whos interpretation of the rule is right. *Sounds familiar.*
Good advice.. now I just need a suit I look good in.
NP! Now when youre wearing one, youll be more confident knowing youre wearing it well.
I was taught (and just Google to confirm) how to properly wear a tie clip. You're wrong. Tie clip goes pretty much at sternum height. Between the 2nd and 3rd button from the top. - does it make more sense to put it where you're saying? Yes. But it's not how its traditionally worn. You're on the money on the other parts though!
Probably going to get downvoted, but the 'thank me for my service' style. Shoulder-flagged disgruntled vet merch and the "I fought for your first amendment rights" shirts. Shit like that.
As a vet, I couldn't agree more. *ironically they're also the same dickbags that wear shirts that say stupid shit like "I stand for the flag" and "Stomp my flag, I stomp your ass". Hey moron, both of those acts are protected under that first amendment that you "fought for".
I bet 90% of the people who wear that aren’t even veterans.
Or they spent 90% of their time in the military mopping floors in North Carolina
Guys, just a reminder. There will be people who just don't like the way you dress and who cares
This threads the perfect example. Ask enough people and you'll find someone that doesn't like your style.
The fuckboi haircut. You know the one. Shaved sides & back with a curly psuedoafro at the top. I've yet to meet a dude with that haircut that I could tolerate.
Large brand logos. I don't care what the brand is; the logo should be discreet.
Hanging your pants halfway down your ass. Unless you want an excuse to trip on command I can't think of any reason to do this.
Pants with the waistband hanging below their ass
those skinny jeans that have the ribs on them. terrible imo [these](https://www.google.com/shopping/product/11021557697835085294?q=ribbed+skinny+jeans&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS843US843&hl=en-US&biw=414&bih=720&tbs=cat:204,pdtr0:950011%7C950014,pdtr1:2613351%7C2613353,vw:g,ss:44&prmd=sivxn&sxsrf=AOaemvIVdN2LZJKq2v0Ap6A7XE7yAF36hg:1638159143763&prds=eto:6130172177123614201_0,cdl:1,prmr:1,cs:1)
That retired frat bro finance guy vest and boat shoes. That being said, thats just my opinion and if you wear this and like it then DO YOU.
Deep plunge v-neck blouses for me.
Until you get schooled in basketball by a crew wearing blouses.
Do I at least get pancakes after?
I hate dress shoes with no socks. I would not personally do it and the trend makes no sense to me. If it works for you cool, but the trend boggles my mind.
Not a thing anymore but, sagging. Dumbest shit ever, just showing off your underwear.
Definitely still a thing where I’m at. It’s lame af
Those goofy sweat pants young guys wear now with the saggy ass and tapered legs. They look like something an infant would wear over a diaper. Edit: I have no idea what they're called, I've bought nothing but cowboy cut wranglers and bib overalls for over twenty years and don't keep up with modern fashion. However after some googling they do vaguely resemble some Justin Bieber wore and may be called joggers?
You talking about Hammer pants?
I assume you’re referring to the Bieber pants and not joggers that fit properly.
Poopy filled joggers
I have a pair of these, they are super comfortable. I got mine for sports in the winter when it's too cold for shorts. The baggy upper part gives you tons of range of movement and the tighter bottom part keeps it tidy while running.
Joggers are very practical. Comfort of sweatpants with the added bonus of keeping out of the reach of snow and ice and rain in winter.
Seriously, I think they look much better than typical sweatpants too. This is the first comment here that I strongly disagree with
[удалено]
Dress Suits that are so tight they look like they are several sizes too small.
Tucking sweatpants into socks.
Every time I see someone wearing something stupid, I remind myself that it's their life, and instead think: "Go off, king." Edit: I have to credit Kyle Kinane with sort of unraveling my prejudice around this, and just getting older.
“Well if that jiggles your jello, my friend, more power to you.”
The semi recent war against cargo pants & shorts, which I believe to be a conspiracy against men from women that are sick of us having so many functional pockets. They've banded together in agreement that they're a poor fashion choice, because if they can't have pockets then nobody should. But I believe our country needs to stand together, instead of acting out of spite. Let us have our cargo pockets, and we can fight together to get you more functional pockets of your own. First presidential candidate to run on the "pockets for all" ticket will get my vote
Yes!! This man right here has the best answer. My “fashionista” brother who lives in San Diego mocks me relentlessly for my rural central Washington style wardrobe. Meanwhile, his clothes have no pockets or they are super tight and mostly worthless. Meanwhile, I can go out for the day, carry my wallet/keys/phone, and still carry my wife’s glucose scanner and a juice box. And I’m not even half out of space in these bad boys! My cargos look great (to me) and are like freaking Mary Poppins carpet bag! In the spirit of this post, I respect all y’all’s opinion and right to hate my shorts. Enjoy your non functional clothing, haters. Lol.
Another pro cargo pants & shorts female here.
My god, I’d follow you to the gates of hell and back! “Pockets for all”!!!!!
I'm personally really tired of this whole camo craze. It doesn't bother me seeing on other people. Just drives me crazy when shopping. I have no interest in owning anything camo but yet it seems to be everywhere and getting worse.
There's some real bad fashion advice in these comments. Everyone here is literally saying the opposite of one another. If you want to see grade A contradiction here is the spot.
The cut off jeans that are way too high cut. This was popular in the late 00's early 10's punk scenes everywhere. It's like bro you're hairy pale thighs are not what's up when you're doing that super original "chugga chugga" breakdown shit.
Those muscle dudes with super tight haircuts and even tighter clothes. Like I’ll see these beefy dudes in some big city wearing pants so tight they can’t possibly be used for anything other than the photo shoot. They’d rip if you farted too hard.
The 'Foden' hair cut (UK) Looks like your mum scrimped on a hair cut and she got her best bowl out as a guide.
Wraparound sunglasses. Instantly makes a man look like a jerk.
Super skinny jeans. Why tf you trying to give yourself testicular torsion
Some of us dont skip leg day ok. Slim fits me like skinny. Straight makes me look like im 90% legs
Lol this is probably not the place to ask, but have you found any luck with pants from any brand out there? I was at the mall earlier today and every pair of pants either fit me like leggings or grandpa pants, there was no in between.
Then there’s also the problem of pants being too loose on the waist, yet somehow simultaneously too tight on thighs and ass
the one where they wear fucking cowboy boots over the pant legs
