This hilarious guide by Jessica Saia illustrates the types of items men should not wear. In an effort to get people to dress better, Saia's guide has three levels: do's, don'ts and oh god please don'ts.
The comical guide makes it quite clear what kinds of sunglasses, shirts, shorts and shoes are the most attractive. While the "do's" manage to offer quite sound style advice, the "don'ts" communicate some of the fashion faux pas that some men make. But when it gets to the "oh go, please don'ts," the guide takes fashion missteps to ridiculous proportions.
While it is a little over the top, hopefully the outlandish guide will prevent people from wearing socks with sandals, or worse — socks over sandals.
