Deep V-neck t-shirts

Unless you’re a washed-up porn star, a former Jersey Shore cast member, or 2007’s Cristiano Ronaldo, you better have the self-respect not to tie yourself down in boobless cotton thongs. Deep V-neck tees don’t flaunt your assets so much as bizarrely feminize them—no matter how much you think they make you look Lothario. Instead, stick to classic crew necks.

Slipped Pants

Supposedly inspired by the belt ban in the US prison system, sagging jeans were adopted by LA gangs and hip-hop stars in the 1990s as an anti-authoritarian statement. If you’re not too, dropping your jeans under your butt is short-sighted at best, cultural appropriation at worst. Jeans should sit on your hips so legs hang properly from yours, while tailoring should sit closer to your waist to prevent an acre of shirt from appearing between your jacket closure and your pants.
