What clothes would put you off a potential partner?

Inspired by the ‘What three items would you never wear?’ thread in AIBU - is there an item or style of clothing that would put you off if you were looking at someone as a potential partner?

I've just walked past a man who was wearing a ‘If found, please return to the pub’ T-shirt. This and all similar variants (‘In case of emergency please insert beer’ with an arrow pointing upwards etc.) would kill any lust for me. I’m sure there would be people who think it horribly judgemental, but I just know this would be the type of man who’d enjoy prank shows, Unilad and ‘epic bantz’.

Anyone else?

waistcoats are just a no-no

Couldn't give a toss what a bloke wears.
All that matters is whether they are kind and sexy looking to me.
I just prefer my blokes to not be overly interested in sports or drinking.

I have absolutely no idea what 'socks with sliders' means. Confused

I can’t believe I’d forgotten my least favourite.

Proper work shirt with tie but SHORT SLEEVED.

No.

What?! I thought this was a MN fave?

Those shoes that look like Cornish pasties.

HAHAHAHA at surplices!

Well I would say a tank top but...reader I married him 😂(30yrs ago)

Cornish pasty geography teacher shoes: the dreaded Clarks polyveldts.

I loathe those terrible elastic ‘walking sandals’ that expose their horrible hairy toes. Usually worn with an unkempt beard and an air of defiance.

@sconeofdestiny we need to test your assertion that you don’t care what a man wears provided he is kind and sexy.

I’ll start: Jesus sandals, rust 3/4 length cargo trousers with many toggles, S Club 7 T shirt, neck chain.

Would you? Even if he couldn’t be re-educated, clothes wise?

Iamthewombat · 06/08/2019 19:33

Jesus sandals are a form of rudimentary slider I suppose.

LocksMyth · 06/08/2019 19:43

Speedos

Ticklemeelmo · 06/08/2019 19:51

Birkenstocks
Cargo pants
Ill fitting loose jeans with black shoes
Pleather jackets
Shorts in the office

Skinny jeans. Any trousers that are too tight and cling to their carrot legs.

Ankle grazers. No socks. Loafers.

Suit shorts.

Superdry anything. And huge logo or designer try hard item.

Fringed jackets or waistcoats.

Tracksuits for leisure. Any colour. Yes they look like giant uneducated babies.

Christmas jumpers.

White jeans. Any cut.

Agree with PP - what anyone from Love Island would wear - big no no.

Vests with huge deep cut arm holes.

Denim jeans with black shoes. The worst.

Cheap shiny suits.

Skin tight anything.

Gilets.

Red or yellow cords. Other colours are ok.

Short shorts.
