19 Things Men Should Never Wear - Men's Fashion & Menswear Style Mistakes & What Not To Wear

About this video

The Gazette team presents 19 style mistakes men should avoid if they care about appearing well-dressed and sophisticated. They explain why each item—from sandals and cargo shorts to mismatched tie-and-pocket-square sets and oversized watches—undermines a polished appearance, and offer stylish alternatives for each violation.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that foundational menswear mistakes like wearing sandals, flip-flops, cargo shorts, and athletic socks instantly signal poor style awareness and lack of sophistication
• The Gazette team emphasizes that formal accessories require proper execution: ties should be tied by hand, pocket squares hand-folded, and bow ties worn at black-tie events instead of regular neckties
• The Gazette team recommends prioritizing fit and quality details—such as over-the-calf socks with suits, smaller armholes, proper collar fit, and appropriately-length ties—as hallmarks of an elegant gentleman
