A friend turned me onto a hilarious comedian who regularly headlines at Therapy in NYC, and she just did a post on her blog entitled “Summertime and the Dressin’ is Shitty“. As you might imagine, the entire post is about how men, both straight and gay, make terrible decisions in the realm of personal style.
This got me wondering—what do you bitches hate? Like, more specifically, what are your pet peeves when it comes to fashion, hair, grooming and so forth? What things do other guys do that make you want to stab yourself in the eyeballs?
My thing is toe shoes. They freak me out so much.

The person who developed the fugly Toe-Shoes should be shot.
I hate Crocs at all 🙁
those toe shoes look amazing… i just bought a pair after seeing this pic
theyre great
Oh my God my friend wears those horrible foot shoes when we go out and it makes me want to curl up into a ball and die of embarrassment. They are so… tacky and weird? This coming from a guy with a nose ring, right?
Shorts should not be cut off below the knee. They are called shorts for a reason. If I can’t see your knees, then you are doing something wrong. Also, please were underwear. It’s not hard to put a pair of undies on.
HEY TROLL HEY (I’m this close to blocking you.)
Being gay is a curse..hard to find real men who don’t spend hours in front of a mirror cuz they wanna look fierce thang…ughhh
Alright…I love my Vibram five fingers…but I only wear them
a) when hiking, especially when I’m in and out of rivers/rock climbing because … that’s what they are for.
b) at the gym on squat day, because artificial cushioning isn’t desired when doing such excercises.
I may keep them on to walk home from the gym, or have them on on my way to the hiking destination, but they are functional and not fashionable.
Even if a really hot guy is wearing them, they still look silly. If you want to have the feeling of naked feet and its warm outside…flip-flops
I have no issue with the idea of flip flops, however, if you’re a contender for Guiness’ longest toenails, have some form of fungus growing on or under your toenails, appear as if you’ve chewed your toenails or are just generally cursed with cloven hooves, please do the world a favor and allow this style trend to pass you by.
Black socks with short.
No. Just no!
Sandals with socks. It makes my insides cringe. Also the rape of very mismatching colors. A no-no in my book.
Socks with sandals!
Toe shoes are incredibly comfortable. I just got back from the gym and nothing aches
That is a lot of stuff going on between the toes! It looks like a case of “Watsui Feet” or “HULK” feet or something.
Maybe they will just go away?
i fucking hate, FUCKING HATE when i see a guy who is over 25 who does the front shirt tuck, you guys know what i’m talking about. it’s ok for young guys to have bad fashion sense but older ppl should know better! nothing more sad to see a guy who’s in his late 30s pretending and dressing like they’re 20.
Toe shoes are not for fashion, they were made for boating and then turned into a shoe for running. I’ve done five half-marathons in them, I don’t think they were ever intended for everyday wear. They are great for running.
Braided belts.
Bulky button downs.
Most clothing from Express Men.
I thought of more:
Hollister
Abercrombie
Affliction
Let’s see those Adidas tennishoes that are like all bulky? Something like my 4 year old nephew would wear. And of course 30 year old something gay guys are so “fierce” for wearing them..Awful, just awful..
I agree, they’re incredibly comfortable, mostly because they correct how you place your feet when you walk, run, etc.
But I’d never wear them to restaurant, or generally out.
Turn OFFS:
Dangling shiny wrist jewelry.
Any gold chains or fake ass diamond bling.
Black shoes w/ brown belt or vice versa
The half tucked in shirt as to show off Gucci belt buckle.
Jersey Shore type high top sneakers.
Anything with flames, dragons, or Gothic lettering.
Untrimmed fingernails.
Untrimmed hairy necklines.
Goofy chin strips and unnatural beard lines…
DO NOT SHAPE OR TWEEZE EYEBROWS.
Ed Hardy anything
Tommy Bahama anything
Pinky rings
Asian Letter Tattoos
Kahki anything
Pooka(sp?) shell anything
Faux hawks
Backward ball caps
Flipped up collars
Most of all…Crocs
Surely we also hate what women wear as well, don’t we?
Jeggings
Volleys M/F
Anything you can tell that’s been from supre
Supre bags
Country road bags M/F
Blingy iPhone covers
Bumbags
Clothes that are 2 sizes too small, whatever shape/gender you are
Leopard print
There’s one exception here: if your shirt is 2 sizes too small and you’re a smokin’ hot man with great torso definition, you’re probably doing something right. 😉
This is going to sound really, really strange to everyone, and I realize that in advance.
Where I live, guys don’t really cares what your shoes look like. I know, right? Now for more detail.
Neon green, clunky Crocs; neon, tie-dye boots; bright-pink tennis shoes. By comparison, my silver and black Vibrums look normal. The only comments I ever, EVER get on them are things like ‘are those comfortable,’ ‘holy crap; your shoes have toes!’ and ‘whoa; where did you get those?’
They’re great running shoes. They’re great boating shoes. They’re great climbing shoes. They’re really comfortable. They kinda suck on a bicycle, but that’s ok. And, best of all, they’ve gotten me laid before.
Backward Ball caps are de regur for blow jobs!
One pet peeve is “shorts” that go down to your ankles and that end up looking like high-water pants and not shorts at all. Also, I’m not a huge fan of guys that do the sagging thing where they are wearing a belt to hold their pants up at a space just below their ass so that basically they’re walking down the street with their asses hanging out in a pair of ugly bunched up boxers. I’m all for asses (sexy ones anyway) hanging out but that just looks silly.
Yes! The Eyebrows, give a trim for the wild ones MAYBE, but to shape or tweeze? Girl, makes you look evil and like a girl!
I’m with Michael! on the shorts issue. Here in Chile if your knees are visible, you are obviously a foreigner. They wear below the knee or mid-calf length shorts on the beach in summer. One resort in particular prohibits european-style speedos for men and bikins for women. How repressed can you get? Is this catholic guilt?
Guys over 30 sporting a bad fauxhawk, big gay diamond studs anywhere, girl pants-straight, skinny, and tight from waist to ankle. Have to agree also with the capri’s, sagging pants, crocs, gold chains, tweezed eybrows and toe shoes.
Pleated pants
spandex in PUBLIC, tank-tops that MORE skin is showing(shirtlessness is better, unless you have a beer GUT) , Crocs HAVE no redeeming value, capri pants on men, men who take off their shirts when it is hot & make you want to gauge your eyeballs out
“fashion” is a disaster.
especially when pretentious pricks think they’re All That like a bag of cool ranch doritos and a Tab™ soda for having spent hundred/thousands on some meaningless articles of clothing in order to impress whom?
(´bunch of soulless, conformist, annoying assholes.)
True dat. I stand corrected on that one.
This one deserves double secret probation!
If you can spell “underwear,” you should be able to spell the word that precedes it.
Also deep vee’s look like lady blouses, especially on guys with built chests, they just look like boobs that can flex.
Flip-flops should NEVER be worn in public! On the beach, at the pool, padding around the house… but NOT when you go shopping, NOT at a bar, restaurant or club… Flip-flops are NOT sandals!
And socks! NEVER wear socks with sandals (duh!)… I’ve even seen people wearing socks with flip-flops! Ewwwww!
Love this. They have
nailed my style perfectly.
