Common Mistakes
White athletic socks with leather shoes
The easiest way to undo an outfit. Dress socks always. No exceptions.
Slim or skinny fit on chinos or trousers
Prep silhouette is relaxed, not fitted. Slim chinos look fast-fashion, not Ivy.
Brown belt with black shoes or vice versa
The most noticed invisible rule. Match belt leather to shoe leather always.
Tie and pocket square matching exactly
A matched set looks catalogue, not considered. Coordinate, never match.
Ironing an OCBD collar flat
The natural collar roll is the point. Pressing it flat turns Ivy into office drone.
