Best Boots & Men's Footwear

Here are some more tips to help you ensure you're not committing any fashion blunder.

Another common fashion mistake among men is wearing Pants without a belt. If you're working a casual look and you're wearing your shirt over your pants so that no one can see your waist, go ahead and forgo a belt, provided your pants won't be too slouchy.

Wearing your shirt tucked into your pants, however, necessitates wearing a belt. Not wearing a belt doesn't make you look heavier or dumber, but it does make you look odd. A belt literally ties your outfit together and, especially when you're dressing up, it's an accessory that men can splash a little cash on to create a tasteful, elegant look.

Of course, don't cinch your belt so tight that you have gut overhang, but do wear one even if your pants don't need help staying put just to add an extra dimension of style to your ensemble.

The next fashion crime committed by men is Classless clipping. This fashion atrocity refers to clipping cell phones, keys and other devices to your waist.

Not only does it look cheesy and tasteless, strapping electronics to yourself makes you look wider and shorter. Plus, piling on gadgets makes you seem ridiculously busy, but you run the risk of being perceived as self-important if others notice that you're not actually as pressed for time as you appear.

Cell phones and organizational tools are nice, however, and even a must for those frequently on the go, so try wearing coats or blazers instead with sufficient interior pocket space. A coat or blazer will smarten up your look as well as provide you with enough places to store your can't-live-without items.

The next fashion blunder is wearing of Chunky shoes and wrong pants. Shoes with a significant chunky heel certainly have their place in fashion, though teaming them with slim-fit dress pants or a fitted suit results in what can only be described as a serious fashion transgression.

Unfortunately, if the bottoms of your pants are very narrow, you'll end up looking like a clown, which is never a look most men strive to emulate. You must avoid purchasing this footwear with the intention of wearing it with everything in your wardrobe.

Opt instead for sleek loafers or Italian-style dress shoes. The dress shoes in particular may cost you a little more, but you'll gain fashion points for them for years to come.

Improper pant length. Make sure you're not including yourself in this group of fashion misfits by paying attention to the length of your pants. As well, different kinds of pants look best at different lengths. The bottom hem of your jeans, for example, can extend all the way to the bottom of your shoe, and will actually make your legs appear longer and leaner if you follow this piece of advice. Dress pants, on the other hand, should cut off at the top of your heel, but be careful that your socks don't show when you walk and that no more than two inches of your socks are visible when you sit down.

When you buy new pants, if the length is not quite right but you love them, ask the store to alter them for you since many provide this service free of charge. For clothes you already own, particularly dress pants, try them on and take any that have an improper length directly to your tailor.

So follow these tricks and you won't be offending anyone's fashion sensibilities any time soon.
