lauralh1) Goatees. Ben Affleck had one in Chasing Amy. Guess how long ago that was. Either have a full beard or nothing.
2) 'Stache. Unless you are my father, you will look like a Chester.
3) Ponytails. Long hair is bad enough, but my god, this is not 1987.
4) Pants that do not fit. I suppose I'll forgive $150 jeans, but otherwise, please.
5) UTILIKILTS, NUFF SAID
6) Hats. "A hat should be taken off when greeting a woman and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat."
Post more if you like.

Date: 2004-07-22 03:54 pm (UTC)Wearing walking shorts in Seattle in February.
Being a 40 year old database administrator for a software company and dressing like a 19 year old. Walking shorts (in february) and white high top court shoes don't look attractive paired with your flabby white hairy 40 year old legs.
Wearing your cell phone and PDA on your belt.
Going to Hooters with all your other high tech software friends and you're all wearing the same khaki pants and striped golf shirts.
Second the notion that "me too" goatees long ago passed as a cool trend.
without my goatee i look like I'm 17 and that's not a good thing
Date: 2004-07-22 04:34 pm (UTC)anything pastel, unless you're gay and you really like soft colors.
