Did you get dressed in the dark? Sometimes the answer to that question is yes, so you’ve got an excuse, but if it’s not, what do you do then?
There’s no shame in not looking your best if you’re getting up to go to work at 5:45am, but if you’ve not been alert when your dressing in the morning because your brain isn’t firing on all cylinders yet, you can end up with a fairly embarrassing choice of outfit for the day to come.
Flying low is a real danger for us lads, and while you can buy trousers with buttons that will help you remember to close all the way up to the top, the zip is still the most preferred method for most of us. Walking around with your fly down is not only a bit embarrassing, but it’s always a good idea to take great care in that area when zipping up, as the movie There’s Something About Mary taught us so vividly all those years ago.
Throwing on a shirt will always make you look dapper and impress the ladies of a night out, but not if you’ve fallen into the trap of putting the buttons in the wrong holes. If you’re headed to work in that state, now it looks like you’ve been out all night and wandered in without a second thought and probably a bad hangover, and if you’re actually heading out, it looks like you dressed yourself on the way out the door, which won’t get you any attention from the ladies.
Going for a more casual look is, of course, the solution to that problem if you can get away with it, but it’s always worth remembering that putting your t-shirt on inside out isn’t the smartest outfit choice in the world either. That is if you’ve remembered to put a fresh shirt on in the first place, pit stains is a bad look too, in case you’re wondering.
Then there are the joys of accidentally putting your boxers on the wrong way round, which is much trickier to change than your top being on the wrong way. Not only will it be hugely uncomfortable for as long as you’re wearing them, but if you’re not near a bathroom you’re stuck with them the wrong way round.
So how can you avoid all these pitfalls? Keep your brain switched on, and stay hydrated with a bottle of Deep River Rock so that you’re not making some seriously dodgy sartorial decisions that could make you look pretty foolish.
