Menswear magazine, a new publication from the fashion gurus at Condé Nast, recently polled experts on the worst blunders in men's fashion. Among our favorite "worsts":
- "Trucker caps. As soon as I see one and the way they are worn, perched and balancing on top of the head, it makes my skin crawl. Hate it! Hate it! — Sarah Rutson, Lane Crawford
- "I prefer a man not to wear bracelets or rings. As a general rule, simplicity is always best." — Bruno Cucinelli
- "Button your jacket. It takes 20 pounds off your silhouette." — Tom Ford
- "Trying too hard. Still, there are some rules that I never break: Formal shoes must always be worn with socks, tie knots should never be too big or wide and never wear black shoes with a brown suit." — Andrea Perrone, Brioni
- "Fur coats. This look has only been pulled off by Snoop Dog and men in the tundra." — Eddy Chai, Odin
- "Buying a suit — and thinking it is a track suit! A suit is to be tailored, sharp and smart, not big enough to do cartwheels in." — Dean and Dan Caten, Dsquared
- "Wearing jeans with everything, including tailored jackets, as a way of expressing your individuality — when everyone else is doing exactly the same thing." — Robert Bryan, author, American Fashion Menswear
