- Shoes and socks should match. White socks go with sneakers and dark dress shoes call for dark dress socks.
- Belt. Belt color should match shoe color.
- Shirts should be tucked in. Unless you are wearing swim trunks or drawstrings, the shirt should almost always be tucked in.
- Clogs and sandals are for sissies. Stick to athletic type sandals and flip-flops.
- A tie with a short-sleeved button-down is a big no-no. A short-sleeved button-down may be worn untucked over a t-shirt.
- If you are not sure your shirt and pants go together, they probably don’t. Choose a colored shirt, and pick a neutral pair of pants to go with it (tan, gray, black). This is a no-fail plan.
- Never wear a suit on a date. Suits are for job interviews, weddings, and funerals.
- Avoid pattern-to-pattern combos. Don’t mix a polka-dot shirt with striped pants. Also, plaid is for shirts, not for pants.
- Bow ties: high risk, low pay-off. Pee-wee Herman???
- Blue is a sure thing. The color blue never fails. Blue is a versatile color and very few men look bad in it.
