Okay, fellas, I’ve asked the ladies, and they have spoken! Between my wife, my sister, sister in-law and all of their friends, I frequently have a house full of women (please pray for me).

Well, I decided to help you out on the fashion front because I got an inside scoop from the ladies for my fellas on what NOT to wear. I’m sure most of us think we are up to par in this area…but I think I’m about to bust some bubbles! And don’t shoot the messenger…this is straight from the ladies!

Oh and don’t worry we’ll definitely have a follow-up article for the women! Fellas, listen up, and, ladies, let me know if you agree or have something to add!

1) Holey undergarments
This was an easy consensus and included everything from t-shirts, to underwear, to socks. The ladies say not only is this a huge turnoff, but it’s a sign of you being cheap and not worried about your sex appeal. Remember a woman gets turned on in her mind first and if you come to bed full of holes, you’re going to put a huge hole in her libido!

2) Gifts from your ex
The ladies said yes they know it’s petty, but they don’t like to see you in that shirt or piece of jewelry or even that watch that your ex bought you. It brings back old memories for you, and it brings up the fact that someone had you before they did. Call it petty, but it’s the reality. Get rid of the “Ex files.”

3) “Old man” cologne
Women love a man who smells good, and while they can appreciate a classic, at some point, you have to give up that 1980s cologne and get a new fragrance. The ladies say they are tired of Brut and Old Spice. How would you like it if she was still sporting that Red Door perfume from back in the day? Take a visit to any department store, and hit up the fragrance counter.

4) Overly baggy clothes
It is 2016 not 1996. All of the bright colors and baggy clothes are wayyyy out of style and a reminder of how old you are. Ladies love men that wear fitted clothes that show some sophistication and fits your physiques. Time to see a tailor!

5) Sports jerseys for all occasions
The ladies say they understand that you love your favorite teams, but you don’t have to wear sports paraphernalia everywhere. Sometimes they just want to see you in a brand that doesn’t include the Cowboys or Redskins.

6) Old school haircuts/styles
Fellas, if you have an old school fade, messy cornrows, hair that looks like it’s hiding from you or any style that requires activator, you might need a makeover…and fast! Please come join us in the 2000s with a more modern style, or come to grips with the fact that your hair isn’t coming back and just shave it all off!

7) Facial piercings (nose rings especially)
Although this isn’t seen often, the ladies said that the nose rings and tongue rings are a no-no. They said piercings scream femininity, and they want manly men. Disclaimer: they all said Tupac Shakur’s nose ring was the only exception.

8) Un-groomed and ill-groomed facial hair
If you are going to join the #beardgang, at least keep it shaped up and well groomed. They said ungroomed hair on a man makes him look sloppy, and no classic man wants to look unkempt! Maybe it’s TMI, but yes they also said that the same applies to the pubic area.

9) Busted shoes
I’m sure by now most men know that one of the first things a woman looks at on a man are his shoes, and if they are busted, then it’s going to take a lot of personality to overcome what she is seeing on your feet. If you don’t do anything else, keep your shoes clean and fresh!

10) “Tighty whities” & boxers
Those tight, white regular underpants as well as boxer shorts have to go. The ladies say go with boxer briefs or go home.

11) Old du rags or du rags in public
If you don’t have waves by now, you probably will never get them, so just give up on the du rags and stocking caps. If you wear them to bed, then that’s fine, but anywhere out in public is an instant turnoff to the ladies.

12) Sagging pants
Sagging your pants isn’t classy, and it’s very immature. The ladies say they have no desire to see your underwear unless it’s in the bedroom so grow up and pull your pants up.

Okay those are the top 12 from the ladies, so ladies let me know what you would add and FELLAS go ahead and start giving us some ammunition for the next article on the ladies.

BMWK, what are the things they wear that you absolutely hate!!??
