What Not to Wear: Pete Edition

In order to prevent further fashion disasters, I have started to collect nuggets of sartorial wisdom:

Men - the end of your tie should fall in the center of your belt buckle. If you notice that your old ties no longer reach your belt, here's a hint for you: extra long ties are not made for extra long people. Think about it.

Short sleeve dress shirt is an oxymoron.

Unless you are caught outside in the sun for a long time, do NOT flip your collar up. The upturned collar looked stupid in the 80's and it still looks dumb today. Even Pharrell Williams cannot pull this shit off.

To paraphrase Carson Kressley, pointed shoes are for elves, witches, and whores. I would also like to add genies to that list. Now, I don't mean any old pointed shoe, you now the shoes I am talking about. These shoes just look ridiculous.

Despite the rumors obviously spread by the fabric cartel, the thong has never gone out of style. It is one of the greatest ways I can think of to frame the best part of the female anatomy. However please remember this: the exposed thong should be used in moderation. Catching a occasional glipse of your thong is a nice treat. But much like the DJ who plays your favorite song on the radio a thousand times, the thong loses its effectiveness through overexposure.

P.S. Oh yeah, I forgot about the dress scarf. Unless the look you are going for is "prissy," the dress scarf is not a good idea. Except maybe if it's the ONLY thing you're wearing.
