I Don't Want To See That! - The Women Speak

When it comes to men's fashion, women have some very strong pet-peeves. For this article I surveyed 50 women and was surprised by their number one pet-peeve.

I am surrounded by strong, powerful, gorgeous women with very strong opinions about everything. I polled 50 of them to find out what their pet-peeves for men were. 

What was the one thing they would hate to see their men wearing this summer? 

Out of the 50 women, 35 of them said sandals on men. It is surprising to me how overwhelming women's aversion to men wearing sandals is. I'm not sure - given the success of men's sandal business - that men are aware of this fact. In  my humble opinion, I believe that women are referring more to the lack of foot hygiene - and some of them expressed that very clearly - than the actual sandal wearing, but I could be wrong.

The women also shared many other dislikes and I thought it would be fun - and informative - to share some of them with you.

Get ready for some harsh truths!

My biggest man pet peeve is manners. Men wolfing down their food and then they wonder why they are gassy.
Alright with that said, as far as clothing, men who wear flip flops with everything, and I mean everything, lame, lazy. Sandals, please have kept toes, we don’t want to see that. None of us expect to see that, maybe a fungus doctor.
And lastly, dark dress shirts with ties and no jackets. What are we, on the High School debate team? Wait, wait, one more, we have laser now boys, please take care of that back hair. We do it for you!!
LOL! I’m such a hater this morning.

Socks with flip flops or sandals; ass cracks; speedos; woolly sweaters (hairy backs); yellow and un-clipped toenails; pit stains; Hawaiian shirts. Are u grossed out yet?

I'm so bored of tan khakis on men, both the full length and shorts. I know men’s options are limited to what’s available but how about some color or flare. Those pants are so dull. And besides they are not on safari in the desert.

1. No white rim glasses. 2. Unless you look like David Beckham or have a worthy body NO MORE SPEEDOS!!! LOL! Male models are okay... But Bob on vacation from Vermont... Not so much!

Moses would sometimes wear cutoff blue jean shorts, a little on the short side. I mean, I wouldn't let him go anywhere in them, but sometimes he'd try to get out the door with the dog in the morning. "I'm just walking the dog," he'd whine. And I'd say, "so what, you're not invisible." It didn't help when he'd cover the look up with his grubby old trench that I couldn't get him to throw out.
Maybe he was trying to get me to walk the dog?
I don't want to see men in muscle shirts either. But I'm not going to freak out if you wear your Tevas with socks. Anne - Los Angeles
 



....a hairless body... yes...I hate men that spend more time in the mirror than me!

Let's see...well please no Ed Hardy baseball hats, but that's really year round, and rhinestone hats aren't good on either gender.  I'm not a huge fan of "man"dals, unless you're super chic and know how to wear them, otherwise, please stick to good old fashioned flip flops.

I don't like guys in tank tops, deep v-necks, pointy shoes and seasonally inappropriate garments like wool beanies or wool scarves- I see this on people all the time in LA.
Neda - Silverlake

Tank tops and flip flops! Unless they're on you. How are you darling ?

I never want to see pink on a guy. Total turn off!  I'm sorry if you love it. I don't like guys who dress like giant kids. I like seeing men who look like men, like they make decisions. So if they're wearing frumpy t-shirts and low-riding shorts that go below the knee, YUCK. Crocs YUCK. I mean maybe all of this is obvious. I don't know!

Don't ever want to see Speedos on anyone but an Olympic swimmer. No cut off jean shorts (poor serial killer) and low hanging saggy pants or over-sized shorts to knees, unless you are a card carrying member of a gang.
Blaire - Los Angeles

Gym clothes, unless you're at the gym. Those swishy basketball shorts?! YUCK!!!
Hannah - Studio City

NO SANDALS!
