<p>I like skinny jeans on a guy. Just not TOO tight.</p>
<p>Skinny jeans on a guy are fine. They are a great indicator for chicks. Because no dude with any type of size is wearing skinny jeans. Holy crap that would hurt.</p>
<p>From a male perspective, they are horrifying though. </p>
<p>I don’t live to see another guy’s stuff. Ladies only, thanks =P</p>
<p>Hmm good point. I had this 70 + year-old teacher that resembled Einstein. He wore tight jeans, and it was always disturbing to see him.</p>

<p>The SCHWARZWALD is gone =(</p>
<p>Alright let’s just clarify this discussion.</p>
<p>Guys: PREPPY IS ALWAYS THE BEST. Some people say you look like a dbag, but honestly, you don’t. The misconception is that preppy guys are the ones who wear extra-tight ANF shirts with spiked hair and baggy cargo shorts. WRONGGGG. Preppy guys are those who keep things clean: </p>
<p>Summer:
A crisp polo (by brands such as Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Vineyard Vines, and Lacoste) without an undershirt or an OCBD with your shirt tucked in
Chino shorts that fall 1-2 inches ABOVE the knee and have NO cargo pockets in a variety of colors
Sperries are a MUST (stick to the A/Os or Mako-2 Eyes)</p>
<p>Winter:
An OCBD (Oxford Cloth Button Down) by said brands that is tapered (the brands above all offer slim fit options on their button downs, so there is no excuse to go to ANF/HcO/AE)
Straight Leg, raw denim jeans with absolutely NO frays anywhere (including pocket lining) or slim-fit (NO pleats) chino pants (NO cargo pockets/frays anywhere)
High-top Sperries (obviously with the pant leg falling over the ankle part of the shoe, don’t pull a gangsta move and tuck your pant leg into your shoe tongue) or Clarks Desert Boots
If you want, throw a good-quality sweater over your OCBD. Polos should stay in the closet.</p>
<p>As far as accessories go, keep it at a minimum.
Belts: stick to the needlepoint belts (traditional brown leather buckle but a cloth body).
Ties: always go for the Repp tie
Shoes: ALWAYS, if you’re tucking your shirt in, match your belt color to your shoe color. Pet peeve.
NEVER get your ear pierced, a tattoo, or anything that you’d find on Jersey Shore.</p>
<p>I’m making this a separate line because it’s SO important: NEVER EVER EVER wear socks of any kind with Sperries if wearing shorts. I want to beat the **** out of guys that do that, it disrespects the classiness of the boat shoes and turns them into Nike trainers.</p>
<p>In essence, you want to keep your look clean and professional. It’s been found in studies that women are more attracted to clean-cut, preppy men than those who wear Ed Hardy tees.</p>
<p>For the most part, I have to agree with golfer111 on this.</p>
<p>For both genders, my personal opinions: the XL sweatpants/sweatshirt that you stole from your dad, mixed with the furry mocassins (wonderful as they as slippers at home) or Uggs look has got to go.</p>
<p>golfer111 has got this thread on lock.</p>
<p>I also don’t like Wallabes. They are really popular in Raleigh, North Carolina, but everywhere else I have been people haven’t heard of them. Are Wallabes popular in other places? Or is this just a NC thing?</p>
<p>Nah I’ve seen them in other places, although I am from NC. Those and the Desert Boots are staples pretty much everywhere except for maybe the west coast.</p>
<p>Don’t wear wallabees with shorts.</p>
