Common Mistakes

White athletic socks with leather shoes
The easiest way to undo an outfit. Dress socks always. No exceptions.
9/10
Slim or skinny fit on chinos or trousers
Prep silhouette is relaxed, not fitted. Slim chinos look fast-fashion, not Ivy.
8/10
Brown belt with black shoes or vice versa
The most noticed invisible rule. Match belt leather to shoe leather always.
8/10
Tie and pocket square matching exactly
A matched set looks catalogue, not considered. Coordinate, never match.
7/10
Ironing an OCBD collar flat
The natural collar roll is the point. Pressing it flat turns Ivy into office drone.
