Fashion changes all the time. This applies to men's fashion as much as it does to women's fashion. Just as there have been many fashion faux pas in the ladies' niche, the same can be said for men. Today, we'll be focusing on the mistakes committed by men. We have compiled a collection of unforgivable men's fashion and style fails that have been committed. There'll be laughter, cringes, and maybe even tears for these poor men.

Avoid Holes in Socks

All men seem to have holes in their socks, yet they avoid getting rid of them at all costs. The problem with holes in socks is that these don't look any good. Unfortunately, if a worn area is starting to appear on the sock, you need to throw it away ASAP. Time for new socks!

If you're prone to wearing out the toes faster than the rest of the sock, consider socks that offer more padding in the toe area in order to prevent holes. Throw out old socks and you won't have to worry about holey socks anymore!

Prevent Product Build-Up

Men won't admit it, but they secretly love their hair care products. From gels, hairsprays, and leave-in conditioners, there's plenty for men to add to their hair. It's all good and well until you end up applying too much. Hair gel, especially, looks greasy and hard when you use too much.

You don't need to apply much when it comes to hair gel and mousse. A small amount rubbed between your hands and spread evenly through your hair is sufficient enough for styling.

Get Rid of Denim Shorts

Many men wear denim shorts. Normally, they sit just above knee height. They're popular for all different ages, from teens to adults. Unfortunately, we have some bad news for you... Get rid of them, now!

These shorts don't look good and often have a too-relaxed look. Since pulling off the short denim look can be hard, avoid it altogether. Opt for something comfortable that still offers plenty of styles - like chino shorts.

The Classic Fanny Pack

Your eyes will hurt if you look at someone wearing a waist bag, or fanny pack as they used to be called. It's a good idea for your sanity to avoid wearing one of these annoyingly popular items.

If we're honest, we can't say this trend made sense the first time around. Yet, here it is again, making most of us feel uncomfortable. Skip this one, gents! There's no redeeming quality here.
