If the obvious nature of that headline annoys you, then please do not click through to The Bold Italic's article today that outlines some Do's and Don'ts for men's fashion. We're totally digging the Do's: a simple white tee with jeans, Birkenstocks (yes we promise they are O.K.) sans socks, cool, timeless shades, and cut-offs of a reasonable length. The Don'ts hurt our eyes, but the "Please Don'ts" are some things that we will never unsee, though we will certainly try. Reverse cut-offs? V-necks below the navel? Socks OVER sandals? Why God why? And we'd like to believe such advice goes without saying—or do we have too much faith in San Francisco's men?
