Fashion Faux Pas Anyone?

Now, each to their own and all that what-ho chaps. But come on...

Beardy Chic:

We all know at least one person who sports ridiculous facial hair. Perhaps a friend or relative. Perhaps a colleague or the weird guy on the front row in lectures. Perhaps just someone who we see on campus from time to time. Want to look like a man my friend? Get a shave and get a woman. You bloody idiot.

Thick Glasses:

Thickly-framed glasses (specifically black ones) are a pet hate of mine. And when coupled with a beard. Oh my goodness. It does not render you pleasurable to mine eye. Not that this matters. I don’t want to marry you mate. You’re not my type. But maybe it doesn’t render you pleasurable to girls’ eyes either pal. Is that why you’re at home alone watching Family Guy and reading children’s books that you pretend are meant for adults too? Yes. I am watching you. And don’t even think about getting fast food!

Wearing Scruffy Clothes to Look Like You’re Wearing Fashionably Scruffy Clothes But in Reality... You’re Just Wearing Sh*t Clothes:

You know those aged and torn and mucky-looking jeans in Prada that look really cool? You can’t afford them. Just wear some proper trousers and don’t pretend you look cool in ripped jeans from George at Asda and some battered old trainers. It doesn’t work. And if you wear clothes like this as well as the beard and glasses... Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear my friend... May I suggest humanitarian work?

The Student Politics Swagger:

“Off to dinner with Barack Obama at The White House, sir? Will the Foreign Secretary be joining you this evening sir? Oh! Suits you sir!”

“No, just a JCRC meeting.”

“Ahhhh. I see.”

Say no more...
