The 8 Deadly Sins Of Men's Fashion

For all have sinned and fallen short of the perfection of fashion.

The flowers are in bloom and sun has begun to stay out a little bit longer. With all these changes in spring in warm weather, it seems that men tend to think that it's time to bring out some of their favorite looks. While these "looks" may be your favorites, they probably are not in style and should be burned. Here is a brief look at some fashion sins that will send you straight to a confessional.

1. Crocs

While I find it hard to figure out why any grown man would want to wear these, I know there some poor unfortunate soul loves them. They're only cute on toddlers, not grown men.

2. Chacos

Jesus may have worn sandals, but that was because the closed toe shoe hadn't been invented yet. You, however, have the privilege to live in a world where closed toe shoes exist! Wear them! And, if by some chance, you chose otherwise...do not wear socks with sandals. It's tacky and you'll match the old men in the nursing home.

3. Chubbies

"Sky's out, thighs out!"..... No one wants to see that. May I repeat, NO ONE. An inch or two above the knee for shorts. Any shorter and they become boxers briefs.

4. Loud Hawaiian Shirts

While you may dream of a tropical vacation, life is not always like that. These shirts are impractical and rarely look good on anyone. Try a solid color or a simple pattern. This isn't the 50's or 90's Romeo and Juliet.

5. Poorly Fitted Clothing

You need to make sure that your clothing isn't too tight or too loose. The better the fit, the better you'll look regardless of your body type. Figure out your right sizes and try things on before you purchase!

6. Flip Flops and Jeans

This is not a Hollister ad, gentlemen. Jeans and flip flops are no-go. There is a proper time and place for both articles of clothing, but they are never to have an interaction.

7. Printed Pants


Unless you wish to look like a pretentious frat boy, then you might want to consider changing your wardrobe.These pants are very loud and unflattering. You should try a solid color. Save the prints for ties and shirts.

8. Camo

Growing up in the south, I have learned that men here wear camo like men in big cities wear suits. Unless you are hunting, the camo should stay in your closet. Minor accents are okay, but full on hunting camo in social settings is cringe worthy.


It doesn't take some rocket scientist to figure out how to dress. You can check magazines like GQ or even google what's in style. Studies have shown that people judge you based on the way you dress especially when it comes to first impressions. Spring is the perfect time to clean out your closet and find something new to wear. Remember to donate any gently used clothes to Goodwill, The Salvation Army, or a clothing bank in your town.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
