The Fault of tastes ... to avoid!! (Post 2)


Homme chic élégant, faute de gout-chaussettes-costume As we saw in a previous article on wearing his collar over his coat is in bad taste (No. 1). Just like having the jacket sleeves are too long (No. 2), or even tie the top button of his jacket are major bad taste. To this list of things not to do, we will add some evidence ... yet too often encountered: The shirt halfway out, mid-back (No. 3), white socks (No. 4), .. in the next articles we will talk about mistakes taste 5, 6 and 7!






-3 - No shirt half the output

Homme chic fautes-de-gouts And yes, once again, man chic going to contradict a French magazine whose writing is not very scrupulous in his "academy style". It does not, as the anthology of bad taste that is left of the picture, his shirt half out or half back.

, And in this case the belt is mandatory! We wore Bermuda shorts, jeans, chinos or trousers. As we can see in the illustration, the rules of elegance will be satisfied if you associate the color of your belt than your shoes! Care must be taken that the shirt is not too baggy (especially in the abdomen): this could refer a picture ventripotente and unsightly. We therefore prefer to have the shirt little baggy around the stomach. We will avoid also the folds, which often occur with a straight cut shirt. It will taste better to fold some fabrics on our flanks.


The shirt is worn either fully extended

But be careful, give out his shirt a style younger and more casual. A shirt can therefore be fully extended. Note ... it is not advisable to put a suit jacket over a shirt completely out ... This is likely to exceed last verst to the effect of the most inelegant, and deform your face shape.




No to-4-white socks!

And yes, even if you are the biggest fan of the King of Pop ... you are not Michael Jackson.
And as you do not put it in every two steps, or go to work doing the moonwalk, you will not wear white socks under a suit! ... Or under jeans elsewhere.
The socks called "white", which often are made socks are for ... (unbearable suspense) ... play tennis!
Finally, play sports in the broader sense of the term. So with shorts, sports, and sports shoes, sports socks yes!
So, what socks to:

when we wear shorts, but with "small baskets of summer"?

.. the answer is simple: socks (socks that not recover your ankle) ... or nothing if the sneakers are canvas, and that is sufficient ventilation of the foot.

when we wear Bermuda shorts and moccasins?

The best thing is ... to stay barefoot .. but if you want to try the style of an Italian dandy you can try the beautiful red socks! (he missed more than a pastel blue pants)

when you wear jeans and boots cities?

City socks (in lisle for comfort) of the same color as the shoes.

when we wear a suit, dress pants or chinos?

Generally, you must wear socks the same color as the pants ... and if it is not possible, the socks a bit darker.
The goal is to extend the length of the leg.
This is also why, as Dior created for the ladies, the first two-tone shoes, black and white ... to lengthen the silhouette of the leg, and shorter stand.
Another way to wear the sock is to have socks the same color as his shirt! a style more daring, more dandy, who give little incomparable allure .. but can quickly turn into bad taste if the colors are too bright or mismatched.

How long for our socks?

Sufficient length to never let our pants appear in the calf or shin. Indeed, although unsightly hair may come and disturb your partner.
For men who never cross your legs, socks that stop from 10 to 15 cm above the ankle should be sufficient. For men who cross their legs, the trousers falling over the knee socks are recommended.

Here, you not only know what to avoid errors of taste, but also how to respond in style!

Let's be smart, let's be smart, do not dance the moonwalk in white socks and shirt unbuttoned!

    Very fair article on the white socks but just to defend the honor of these socks (especially when they have small red and blue raillures much you like them) but more importantly, to honor those who wears these socks still have an advantage: price.

    Several comments:
    - The belt is not mandatory, it can be replaced (but certainly not cumulative) by straps (preferably Y-shaped fasteners with leather buttons);
    - The output is very casual shirt, it will then appear with an ugly dress slacks. A book, therefore, held a "casual";
    - You can also wear socks the color of shoes. This lengthens the silhouette less but is nevertheless quite acceptable.

      Hello Captain cave

      Thank you for your comments and clarifications.

      Straps, although neglected by younger, are a very smart alternative. They can wear pants on the size and to avoid compression of the stomach (especially when sitting).

      The shirt out, is indeed reserved for casual wear. We will then try not to wear a shirt too long to avoid the effect basketball.

      For socks, it's true, we can either wear socks the color of pants or shoes, or a color that would ensure the transition between the two.

    Hello,

    First of all thank you for this very interesting site.
    Let me ask you a question. Could you tell me what is today, instead of accessories such as leggings, the waistcoat, or such as golf shoes black and white? These accessories were at a more or less used by the dandy and I wanted to know if he was now obsolete, ridiculous, or whatnot, wearing this stuff?

    In advance thank you for your clarification.

    And with a white suit, white shoes?

    • # 11 by Man chic at November 14, 2010

      Hello "Millionaire"

      Unless it is for your wedding day, or your baptism, or a costume party where you may be disguised as "Tony Montana", the white suit is not recommended to be elegant.

      But otherwise, you're right, with a white suit, you can wear white shoes.

    Hi everyone and sorry to take on the bandwagon ... Especially sorry that it took nearly 40 years before considering my appearance as decisive.
    So I have a question. As many of us, I piled up some good quality suits accusing one side but a bit outdated: wider, straight cut short ... a little dull.
    Could you point me to a retoucher in Lille and its region?
