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.
I do none of these things! Truly I am the epitome of cool! :shock: biggrin
I do wear y-fronts however...

Hmmmmm :twisted: :twisted: So Roger, is it possible to be both? and more to the point, is it possible to be both whilst wearing Y-fronts?
Thought not rotflmao :rotflmao:

You know, a pair of boxers uses way more fabric than a pair of y-fronts. I think all this anti-y-front feeling is stirred up by cotton companies to boost their profits. And you, my dear Angel, are being used as a tool of this massive corporate conspiracy against honest y-front wearers... rotflmao :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :silly:
No Roger, the simple fact is, they're ugly! lol
Anyway, I think this is what's classed as highjacking, so here's a selection from my own "naff" list.
Lime green shell suits with purple trim. At least get the Purple with lime green trim, much more tasteful in this combination
Y fronts. Nuff said
Wearing sunglasses inside just because its sunny outside. Take them off!!! You look stupid!
Wearing tights the same colour as your top Ok, it shouldn't be possible to buy opaque tights in electric blue, but just because you managed to buy them doesn't mean it looks good.
His 'n' hers matching coats/jackets Please!
Sorry for the earlier highjack davej, hope this makes up for it somewhat. And as for you, Nerd boy, I bet you have a long list of naff things you can add. If you get stuck, just open the wardrobe door rotflmao :rotflmao:
(luffs ya really Woger :therethere: )
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

Cowboy hats are still in fashion, right? ...Right?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
With you on the rings MrsFC. My dear old grandmother keeps on at me to get a big flashy diamond ring but thus far I have failed to succumb to its temptations.
Men's earrings - who thinks these are a good idea? Not I!
Fob watches are another epitome of naffness. They're just an excuse to make it really obvious that you're checking the time. "Oh look, I have a fob-watch!" Please. Give me casio water-resistant digital wrist-watches any day... (I was given a fob-watch as a present many years ago, but in my defence the battery has run down and I've never worn it once.)
Tracksuits in general. If you're cold enough to wear a tracksuit, you aren't jogging fast enough! Come on, feel that burn!
Novelty boxer shorts that advertise your own website. I, uh, yeah, own a pair of those...

I just have one thing to say.... YMCA. :shock:

YMCA.

"Young man, there's no need to feel down..."
They're right, feeling up is more fun. :shock:
Another thing for the old naff-list - wearing trainers with suits. There's dressing down and then there's dressing naff...
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!!!!

Oh piercerbabe just keep an eye on yer man cos it runs in families. If he starts going near the zippy cardigans, waffle dressing gowns or zip up slippers in M&S then your only one step away from a pair of grey shoes!!

OOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO!!!! please dont say that!
apparently a mate of his has a pic where he looks just like his dad..............i refuse to look at it lololol!!! We may never have sex again! :shock:
Things that are very obvious designer, ie large labels and burberry tartan
Something I saw in a shop today - a leopard-print bathrobe, for men!
What about naff words and expressions?
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"
Mike.
Ohhh so many things, where to begin!!
Right, here's the things that made the shortlist cool
Flimsy t-shirts with a fake designer logo on! - either save up and buy the real thing or forget the label and pay the same amount for a good quality t-shirt
Older guys that are convinced they look like the young Elvis!!! - And have the hair and clothes to prove it!
Those stupid novelty hats where you put cans of beer on either side and drink through a straw - No they are not funny!
Matching novelty waistcoats and ties! - They are not a conversation piece! The only reason people comment on them is because they are so loud the eye gets drawn to them, then we get embarrassed cos we keep staring and feel we have to explain why!
Phrases ......
Can't abide it when every other sentence is 'D'ya know wot I mean' argghhh!!!! - Of course I know what you mean, stop keep asking me that!!! evil
Oh, and, like, when, like, the word like is every other word like - grrrrrrrrrrr mad
Perfick - from Darling buds of May, bluddy awful stupid word :evil:
been having a really good chuckle at this thread
the keys and mobile phone on the belt is just like my dad bless him - will have to have a word again i think
Things i find naff in men
combovers and bald heads with ponytails - yuk id love to have a pair of scissors handy
tony marino look alikes - open shirt with hairy chest and large medallion - yes they do exist i saw one at the weekend, managed not to laugh till hed gone past me
Y fronts are sooooooo naff
Men walking around in lycra shorts in summer - yuk
Vicky xxx
