Lots of guys know how to dress. It’s definitely a turn-on when they find a style that fits their personalities. And even if they don’t have the know-how, sometimes all it takes is confidence, and even the biggest male fashion blunder can be overlooked.
But girls, we’ve all been here before:
“He’s really cute! Omigod…..well he was before I noticed he was wearing……that.”
“That” could be one of five things that, in my opinion, can make a good-looking, adorable, manly-looking kinda guy go from potential hook-up hottie, to….. “I think I see my friend over there.”
Beware. Counting down to the most irritating, here are the top five things real men should never sport. Ever. If you have a boyfriend who applies to this list, (though I hope that’s not the case) share this with him immediately. Share with everyone you can.
Strappy Sandals. You know the kind. The complicated, brown leather sandals with a slight heel. These monstrosities don’t make any outfit look anything remotely close to good.
Bracelets. Unless he’s wearing a diamond bracelet in hopes you’ll see it and say, “Hey, why are you wearing that diamond bracelet?” and he’ll say, “Oh, it’s actually for you. And there’s a lot more where that came from,” bracelets on guys are unnecessary.
Sunglasses at Night. Only acceptable if his name is Corey Hart, and he had a hit single back in 1983. Or he’s blind.
Popped Collars. The trend is slowly fading, but this overly annoying habit of so many college guys should have been completely gone a long time ago. Who is responsible for bringing this back in style? Can we track him down and slap him? I have found these collar-popping culprits a bit pretentious if you ask me. And what’s worse than a regular old popped collar? A pink popped collar. Real men don’t wear pink. Because they just don’t want to.
Jean Shorts. This is the worst of them all. There is no bigger let down than checking out a hot guy - his non-strappy shoes, his lack of jewelry and sunglasses, a collar placed firmly down where it belongs - only to find he’s sporting a pair of denim shorts. Don’t ask why. There just isn’t anything more disappointing. Jeans made for men should be manufactured solely in the form of pants. And then, of course, overalls would have to be done away with altogether. I’m a genius!
Happy Hunting!

greek gods once wore strapped sandals. if you want footwear to complain about, how about crocs? for the longest time i thought they were just shower shoes.
I just started talking to this new guy and he wears jorts (cut off jean shorts) Usually If I saw a guy wearing jorts I’d totally ignore him and hope he didn’t see me. But oddly, on him, I think they’re totally hot. I have no idea why.
But I agree with Satish. Crocs are hideous!
Why is it that real men don’t wear pink? Could you explain this to me? I know several guys one campus who wear pink who are totally hot!
As a guy, I could understand the unappealing nature of self-cut denim short shorts but whats so abnormal about regular blue-jean type shorts? I think khaki’s are gayer by far and mesh or cotten shorts can barely hold anything in the pockets, let alone a wallet/cell phone since we don’t have those vain bags to pack crap into.
There is nothing wrong with bracelets! Okay, if they’re of any sort of metal they just scream “ghetto wannabe”, but if they’re string, wood or some other surfer-y type material, I don’t see the problem.
Also Seth I don’t see anything wrong with khakis.
Who died and made you queen of what constitutes “real men”? I hate jorts and strappy sandals, but perhaps part of your problem is that you are in Florida - full of retirees and venereal disease (not necessarily mutually exclusive). There’s nothing wrong with sunglasses, bracelets, or popped collars. What about Guidos? They’re more caustic to the eye.
wow didn’t even notice you were from FSU. That’s where the jean shorts complaint comes in. UF guys wear jean shorts and FSU students make fun of em for it. But like I said earlier, I usually find them hideous.
hahaha. this is so true. especially the strappy “mandals” — and the popped collar, sunglasses, and bracelets sounds like a guy straight out of “my new haircut” .. who WOULDNT find that attractive?
This is completely stupid and just a matter of opinion.
Also, “here are the top five things real men should never sport”, I’d like to know if you did random sampling? How many people did your survey?
Oh and what defines a REAL man? Are we talking scientific here? Any human with a penis? But then that brings in hermaphrodites? Wow. This is rather complex.
I don’t like men in pink
or anyone in crocs
but the worst is man-olos (the manolo blahnik line for men) and overly pedicure male feet under those “girl” jeans some guys are wearing

yuck~
I’m sensing a lot of hostility to any kind of gender variation here. Sure, there’s a line after which people are going to assume you’re gay, correct or not of them to assume. Seth, gay isn’t a synonym for ugly or stupid. Janers, guys in “girl” jeans is a matter of personal expression, not something for you to turn your nose down at. Can we all be a bit more positive here? Again, how do you define a “real” man? Or woman for that matter. That’s a question the feminist movement has been struggling with for years.
You chick’s have a cool site. How the hell do you have the time? You guy’s really in college? Redick prop’s to you, no matter the case. -D.
I’m a guy… and I wear a bracelet. Its entirely made of metal. Its recycled (by me) soda can openers. Its light weight, “green” and… I tend to find people like it (I’ve had 6 offers by people to buy it from me)
I’m not going to argue with the other points… but considering both I and my gf really like my bracelet… I’m certain I’m keeping it.
I only agree with the jean shorts. Why should guys have to limit what colors and items they can wear, afraid he’ll look better than you??
Pure non-sense.
I think jean shorts are all right as long as they arent hot pants lol.. but i cant stand mandals in general, doesnt matter if its crocs, flip flops, or whatever… guys tend to have really ugly feet and its disturbing to see them! iunno.. maybe its my foot phobia talking lol..
umm i dont see anything wrong with guys wearing pink. some guys can def pull it off.
