We all have our dealbreakers. For some, it's a loud snoring habit. For others, it comes down to serious topics like religion or politics. But when you live for fashion [1], there is no sin more egregious than bad taste — a fact our friends at Reddit [2] are very well aware of.
After all, clothes do make the man! And while no list of outdated trends or unsightly fads is fail-safe, we took our own scientific office poll and gathered the biggest menswear turnoffs (and for good measure, we didn't let the ladies go unscathed [3]). Guys, may we suggest you think better of showing up to a date's door with any of these items on? Because wearing jorts, a wallet chain, or any of these 51 garments on a date is worse than missing an anniversary, we promise.
