Like most people I have some personnel views on what I consider to look naff (on men) and I am sure that I am guilty of wearing naff gear myself so wouldnt mind folks views on whats naff or indeed chic. My list includes:-
White socks... Forget the,m fellas they are history and never did look good.
Pony tails, syrups's and comb overs...What on earth do you see when you look in the mirror cos it sure aint what the rest of us see.
Sandels with socks.. Nope was alright in your grand fathers time but should be put into room 101 alongside a knotted hankie on your head.
Baseball caps...perfectly acceptable for the young and just passable on a beach or in the privacy of your own garden, but out in the street! Chaps if your past the teenage stage then you dont look cool, trust me you look a plum.
Keys hanging on belt loops... yes I know they are sucure but they are also stupid.
mobile phones clipped to belts.. dont do it guys stick it in your pocket or even carry it in your hand, belts are to hold trousers up not to clip phones too.
Tailored trousers that are too short...I wear nothing but and dont even own jeans but guys they are supposed to come down to the heel of your shoe anything that doesnt is a three quarter shorts.
Grey shoes...Fortunately very rare and mostly restricted to the older generation but we will all be that generation one day so be warned, if grey shoes look even slightly dersirable to you , walk away from the shop.
small luxury car brands such as Merc A160 and BMW 316 compact... These are mercs and BMW's for people like myself, that cant afford a Merc or BMW dont get them go buy an astra or Focus or something.
This is only a short list as mrs davej has come down in her Culottes with my best shell suit in hand (lime green with purple trim) and insisted we go out so catch you all later.
The naffest thing in the world is the word naff.
His'n hers matching Shell Suits !!!!!!!!!
I agree with Mrs Davej, about white socks urhhhh !!
Big gold chains and rings.......that just screams look at me.
Less is definately more in my book. That goes for hair that is slowly leaving its owner, just cut it really short.
Very loud and patterened jogging bottoms, yuk :shock:
Definatelty agree with you Angel Y-fronts are truely hideous, alongside swimming trunks. O.K. for Olympic swimmers where they need less drag but on Mr. average they are ridiculous.
well at least the sun is out so I can ditch the shell suit, dress like a power ranger and go out on the motorbike
Zip-up cardigans - I saw a bloke the other day who obviously thought he looked really cool in his.
Mutton dressed as lamb
Men who wear hats in cars - it's indoors for God's sake - unless it's part of your religion, take it off (Steer clear of men who wear hats in cars - they'r dangerous)
LMAO!! :giggle:
The 'keys-and-phone-on-belt' combo, is my father in law all over lololol!
As nice a bloke as he is, i hope my man dont turn into him............. :shock:
I was really terrible when I was young and have been known to finish with guys because of their dress sense (well I was young!!!). One guy wore hush puppies and I wouldnt go into town with him. Another guy who I used to see in casual wear who looked gorgeous met me in his striped suit and he reminded me of my father so that was it!!!!!
Now days I have softened in my thoughts on dress sense. Hate seeing builders bums though or white socks with sandals lol
My own dress sense though - when I was on holiday in Cornwall I went to a market in St Austell which had a lot of goth clothes and I was really impressed! So I may add to my wardrobe attire a goth look for those nights when I want to wear black makeup!!!!

For me examples are:
"at the end of the day"
"basically"
"wake-up call"
and one I really hate, much used on this site:
"hubby"
