\t\t\t\tWe recently covered some <\/span>style trends we\u2019ve been seeing<\/span><\/a>, but it\u2019s been a long time since we shared some Style “No-Nos.\u201d\u00a0 While we\u2019ve usually used seasons like <\/span>Spring<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Fall<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Winter<\/span><\/a> to share specific No-Nos, in this article we\u2019ll cover some all-weather tips to make sure you\u2019re looking the part of a Gent at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/span> Too Much Fragrance<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve talked about the <\/span>what<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>why<\/span><\/a> of men\u2019s fragrances before, but implied in the proper use of any fragrance is using the right amount.\u00a0 Keep in mind that we can get desensitized to a particular scent (even our favorites!) and that some of us have a poor sense of smell to start with, so you should never apply cologne, whether it\u2019s eau de parfum or eau de toilette, based on what you can smell.\u00a0 When it comes to fragrance, rely on routine, not your nose.\u00a0 One spray on your neck and\/or chest, and possibly your wrists, from ten inches away.\u00a0 Done.\u00a0 Your goal is to draw people in, not repel them, and too much fragrance can do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span> Overstuffed Wallet<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve made the case for <\/span>slimmer wallets<\/span><\/a> in the past, and technology has come along to make that even easier.\u00a0 Apple Pay and other payment systems allow you to\u00a0use your phone to pay for things, meaning you don\u2019t have to lug those credit and debit cards around, and apps like <\/span>Stocard<\/span><\/a> mean you don\u2019t even have to carry loyalty cards around either.\u00a0 Overstuffed wallets make for unsightly bulges and uncomfortable sitting, to say nothing of making you look like a disorganized slob.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span> Wearable Phone Cases<\/span><\/h2>\n

We can\u2019t believe we would ever have to say this, but Prada, Versace, and Dior rolled out some wearable phone cases for men some years back that look like a cross between a purse and badge for a conference.\u00a0 Versace\u2019s wearable case for the iPhone cost just under $1000.\u00a0 Just.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span> Backpack With a Suit<\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019re wearing a suit because you want to look and feel your best.\u00a0 And then you put a backpack on and look like you\u2019re about five years old.\u00a0 We get the convenience of a backpack, but there\u2019s never been more stylish options available, like <\/span>duffle<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>messenger<\/span><\/a> bags from brands like Buffalo Jackson, for example.\u00a0 You\u2019ll look like a grown-up again and your suit will thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/span> Matching Pocket Square and Tie<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you want to look like you just picked up something off a department store rack, definitely match your pocket\u00a0square and tie.\u00a0 To compound this rookie mistake, make sure the material is shiny silk.\u00a0 All kidding aside, we\u2019ve talked about some <\/span>principles of using a pocket square<\/span><\/a> before.\u00a0 A main takeaway: it\u2019s a complement to what you\u2019re wearing, not a matching element.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/span> Too much jewelry<\/span><\/h2>\n

Johnny Depp can do this because, well, he\u2019s Johnny Depp and that\u2019s part of his Captain Jack Sparrow look.\u00a0 You are not Captain Jack Sparrow.\u00a0 The principle here is the same as with fragrance: subtlety works wonders (and is more practical when you\u2019re traveling, anyway).<\/span><\/p>\n
