Happy HUMP DAY everyone. Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week, because it makes me feel so much closer to Friday! So I figured since I have been getting so many request from guys, that I would do a top seven list for guys. This list will compile the top 7 "never wear these" and the top 6 "go for these instead" looks for guys!
1. JORTS (jean shorts) If you are not under 15 or over 45, please men do not wear these awful things. I can't understand what would make a guy walk into a clothing store and pick these up and then put them on and look and the mirror and say.. WOW THESE LOOK AWESOME ONE ME! Even thinking about men wearing jorts is making my skin crawl. However, if you are trying to get rid of someone you're dating, put a pair of these on with the next "never wear these" ideas.
2. Hawaiian print shirts: I understand it's always 5 o'clock somewhere, but please go to your closet now and get rid of any of these shirts you might own. I do want to add in a small disclaimer if you have one that you wear to luau themed parties then that is okay, but please only for this occasion. For the ultimate outfit fail, check out the best way to top off your jorts and Hawaiian print shirt below.
3. Sansocks - (Socks with sandals): The real winner in my opinion, the winner of MAJOR FAIL that is. When I see this look on a man, I see a guy that is afraid of commitment and lazy. He either went to bed with his socks on and didn't want to take them off in the morning or he couldn't decided he didn't know if he wanted to wear tennis shoes or sandals so he went for sansocks.
4. Paisley printed shirts- You're not a couch cushion, pillow, or bedspread so please don't dress like one. If you want to re-purpose your paisley shirt make a nice accent pillow or a toy for your dog to check on.
5. Shirts with silly sayings on them: I don't feel like there is a need for a lengthy description for this one. I just need to know why men feel the need to wear these??
6.Sagging pants: Every time I see a man with their pants down like this it makes me want to pull their pants down and really embarrass them. Then I think to myself if they already have their pants half way down their butts, that's probably embarrassing enough.
7.White tank tops (wife beaters): These should never be worn alone, they look dirty and trashy. I am okay if you wear this under something, but please not alone. That is all!

Top 10 "Go for these" Trends
1. Color: Don't be afraid to own color. Here are some funny easy suggestions
Brooks Brothers blue dress shirt: $59.50 Click here to buy
This shirt is a nice option for men looking to get away from the standard pale blue that every man in my office wears on a daily basis.
Express pink dress shirt: $59.90 Purchase directly here
There is nothing I hate more than a man that says he can't wear pink. Strut your stuff in this express pink button down and I guarantee people will see the confidence radiating from you.
2.Tailored/Fitted dress pants-fitted not to be confused with tight dress pants that look like you can't move or the seams will rip pants.
Express black photographer pants: $69.90 Purchase directly here Buy me
Okay guys lets have a real talk moment here...go into your closet right now and throw away all your wide leg pleated front dress pants...no one wants too see you in those.
3. Professional watch: This is something I highly recommend splurging on.
Michael Kors $195.00 One click buy from Macys
I know you might love your Timex watch from the 90's but it's time to let it go and find a nice watch with a leather band.
4. Stylish work appropriate dress shoes: For this I always suggest going with Italian leather-while it might be pricey in the beginning, it's worth it in the long haul.
Johnston and Murphy $155.00 Love these These are great work shoes, if you buy these now and take good care of them you could have them for over 6 years easily.
5. Printed shirt without graphics and pilsbury doughboy
Striped Shirt: Jcrew $49.50 Hey you, buy me! This is something you can be comfortable in and still look polished and put together.
6. Casual Blazer: I prefer a light gray with jeans or khaki
Gray Express Blazer $198.00 Even more options This is something you're able to wear with nice tailored pants(as mentioned above) or jeans and your striped shirt from above for a more casual look
Now get out there and own your new outfits!!
