Right!… Time to get this off my chest, Mens Fashion Trends I wish to die in 2025. Maybe it’s me hitting 50 last year, but when chatting to guys of all ages, OK, mostly my age, but I will say I’ve spoken to many Millennials and GenZ’s who also agree with my views on certain mens fashion trends, So I thought it was time to publicly air my grievances!

I thought with the dawn of a new year, it was a great time to put my list out there, so sit back and let’s see if you agree.

Arse Hanging Out

This fashion that started out in prisons was said to be a sign by an inmate that he was a signal that he was sexually available to other inmates, but most likely due to that back in the day, prisoners were given clothing that was just too big and were not allowed to wear belts in the fear that they could be used as a weapon or for suicide. But, it has to be said that the homosexual invitation to other inmates is something that did become a thing.

In the 90s it became a thing with rap artists, probably due to its link with prisons and fuck you to society by the likes of Ice-T, but come on guys! It’s 2025, can we just get rid of this fashion trend once and for all???

Homosexual invite or not, its just fucking scruffy! Pull your bloody trousers up!

Skinny Jeans

This god awful fashion trend has gone on too far! Skinny jeans belong on women, men need to start dressing like men! This doesn’t go for just jeans, this goes for mens suits that for me, they look like mum put their sons suit in the wash on a hot wash and shrunk it! Sleeves that are too short, lapels too narrow, and of course the trousers, that not only look like they’ve been sprayed on, but don’t even reach their ankles, let alone reaching the shoe!

A suit needs to look like it fits, it needs to look smart and fit properly where you can sit down without worrying if the seams are going to split!

Suit No Tie

Not wearing ties with smart shirts and suits just tells me you cant fulfil a job to the end, you’re half in, half out. A suit without a tie tells me you cant be arsed. A tie is the cherry on the cake for a suit, it finishes the look, it tells me you will do the job you set out to do. A suit without a tie just doesn’t look right.

It just never looks right nor as good as someone who did put on a tie. But please!… No skinny tie and make sure you tie a full Windsor not!

Peaky Blinder Beards

Immaculately lined beards that have been edged and faded with laser precision. There’s caring, and then there’s obsessive.

The Modern Mullet

The Modern Mullet. The Burst Fade. The Permed Mullet. For some reason, this has become the haircut of teens thats continues into adulthood, along with those skinny jeans. When I sit in my local barbers, all I see is the same cut on every kid. It’s like watching clones walking in and out of the barbers.

Perhaps this is another sign of me quickly approaching the age where I yell at kids playing football in the street near my car and keep hold of balls coming over my fence. Variety is the spice of life, don’t be a clone!

Crocs

The most god awful footwear ever invented! I really do HATE them!

I continue to be shocked that today crocs are still an item of fashio that people love to wear. Can they not see that there is not an item of clothing these monstrosities go with? There is absolutely no reason you should be wearing the same shoes into a store that you do to the beach or pool. And don’t get e started on this obsession of attaching childish badges!

Crocs are the symbol of a person who has completely given up hope on their appearance. Either you don’t care or are incapable of making good decision. As we say in the Army, ‘Mag to Grid, Get Rid!’
