Ok dude, we get it. You are right, we are wrong. I am so sorry we trampled upon your personal space and tried to advice you on how to dress. I sure hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive us. If you don't we will live a very troubled life knowing that we did someone wrong.

Like a lot of things, it's a matter of taste, priorities, and interests. Some people see cars as just basic means of transportation, but as you can see on this forum a lot of people a serious hobbyists who take a lot of pride in working on their cars. Most people could get by with a basic word processor, web browser, and e-mail client, but obviously there are a lot of people who have much more interest in computers. I could make a similar analogy for a whole bunch of things. A lot of people view clothes as a means of self-expression, and just find the whole fashion culture fascinating to be a part of and observe. That's cool if you have don't see things the same way; we respect that, but why do you need to come here just to bash people who feel that way?
Is this a relatively new 'rule'?
Button down collars used to be totally accepted with a suit and tie.
Are you sure blue and black don't go together? I have a really dark navy Nautica sweat shirt that seems to go well with black cargo pants.
Watch "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and you'll pick up a BUNCH of tips...not just about dressing, either. Cooking and other stuff...
My dressing faux pas: white socks with wool pants.

If we're talking about "business casual" attire, I find the Banana Republic "Dawson Fit" Chinos spot on. It's leg openings offers an excellent compromise -- not too flarish yet not too tapered. Though it's a bit larger than standard "straight cut", I find it to be very convenient since it "goes over" my shoelaces. I know this brand is somewhat highend but it's the only one with the "cut" that suits me well so if anyone has violent reactions... 
For long sleeved dress or short sleeved button down shirts(for hot days), I usually don't buy into the "branded mentality syndrome" but look for a practical alternative instead. I'd rather get a relatively well made, 100% cotton, employs not too "cheaply" thin materials and are made by a respectable company/brand.
For shoes, I put more emphasis on function but aren't too "de-fuglying" on form. I prefer the lace up, plain-toe oxfords or slip-on loafers that are simple in design yet exudes some "bad arse-ness". For the function, I usually do my homework first on which ones have the best technology for cushioning, comfort, walkability, etc. then go out and try them to see which ones live up to their claims. Something I discovered is that while many of the higher-end, classier brands have the best materials(Italian leather) and build quality(handmade), they tend to be lacking in the technology department for cushioning, comfort, walkability, etc.
For belts, I always buy a nice branded one because I consider this a good long-term investment. Also, good ones tend to last much more than those ubitiquous cheap ones you find just about everywhere.
Lastly, for those really serious into "dressing right", check out Askmen.com. Just do a search, it has buckloads and truckloads of information regarding this topic. Their top babes rankings doesn't hurt either. Cheers!

I spend all my money on computer stuff, not clothes.
But for a rule, my wife has something about white dress shoes after some big fall holiday... which means no white dress shoes in winter time. Stupidest thing I've ever heard
She also doesn't like it when I wear white socks with my dress slacks.
She also says I can't wear my underwear when I take out the garbage and check the mail because she says they really don't look like shorts. I say so what, people don't see my pecker and or my butt crack.

Also, this is MY rule. Don't hang your blue jeans where they will have a seam in the middle of the leg like slacks. That's just lame.

Don't know if someone caught it or not...but what about...if you are going to tuck in your shirt...wear a belt.
Interesting list. I'll have to keep tabs on it.
I'm not color-blind but I am color/fashion stupid. All my "outfits" have to be approved by my fiance, usually in the manner of "Will you be seen with me if I wear this?".

What does reproducing have to do with anything? Ugly people are the ones that reproduce the most. How many gorgeous women do you see dragging 12 kids through WalMart.
Unless your aim is get yourself a gold digger, most women don't give a rats ass what you wear.
STFU
it was a private joke !!!

Many shades of red, green, and brown are difficult for me to discern as I suffer from color blindness. Therefore I find it's best to let my wifey help me pick out clothes. In the area of suits I rely on the professionals and have my wifey give feedback on what they hook me up with before purchasing. Have a woman who understands fashion dress you and chances are many other women will appreciate the way you look too. Of course, here in Florida living near the beach, Tevas, boardshorts or cargo shorts, and T's never look unfashionable so it's a no brainer :sun:

If you are overweight, never wear a suit with double breast pockets.
Fatties should wear layers, which breaks up the shape of the body. You wont look thinner, but you will look more solid - naturally large rather than flabby. Sweating so you look wet and stink, because you put too many layers on, is never going to go down well though.
Taking fashions to the extreme will make you look silly, unless you are a celebrity.
Tall & slim people are best to aviod strong vertical lines, they will just make you look more lanky.
Belting your trousers/pants around the widest part of your belly makes you look totally ridiculous. Normal is OK, low on the hips is OK (esp if young and/or female), but halfway up your abdomen is just not.
Wear what you feel comfortable and happy in. Otherwise people will know and immediately detect that you are socially inept and badly lacking in confidence.
Wearing what suits you supercedes just about any other "rule", including fashions. However, beware that this applies to your appearance aswell as personality (and usually to at least some extent, current activity).
Actually having taste supercedes any possible rule, excepting perhaps the thing about wearing pants halfway up your belly. Thinking you have taste when actually you have none does not have the same effect.

Okay, I think that I have it. White patent leather boots with matching belt, lime green knit lesiure suit with bell bottoms, red silk shirt with oversized spread collar. The question I have is how many buttons to leave undone to show off the gold chains and chest hair?
