Men's common fashion mistakes

Photos of a model demonstrating common fashion mistakes made by men and how each can be fixed.

The Problem: Our model, John Eckel, is swimming in this suit. "Zoot suits have not been in since the mafia and the days of Al Capone, " Mukoro says. Though this suit is not that extreme, the jacket is too large with too much material under the armpits and ill-fitting shoulders. The shirt is too baggy, leaving extra material around the waist and the sleeves are too long. The tie hangs below the belt and the belt is too casual for a suited look.

The Fix: This suit by Ermenegildo Zegna gives a more streamlined fit. To test a jacket for the correct length, stand straight with arms at your sides. The jacket should end near your knuckles. Button the jacket and give it a tug away from your body. You should have one to two inches of room - this applies even for guys with extra pounds in the stomach area. "You want to give the effect of a defined waist, " Mukoro says.

The Problem: The dreaded "dad" jean aka Obama jean has a baggy fit in the thighs and hips, is too high at the waist, and the wash is too light.

The Fix: These jeans by Paper Denim & Cloth have a darker wash and better fit in the waist and thighs. The waist is lower, but not too low, which makes them appropriate for the average guy. "He can go business casual with this and he looks leaner, " he says. Upgrading your denim doesn't mean spending a fortune. "I wear Levi's, " Mukoro says.

The Problem: Square toe shoes are best left in the 80s, Mukoro says. "For a business suit, you don't wear boots or a square toe shoe. It just looks tacky, " he says.

The Fix: This shoe from To Boot New York by Adam Derrick is a better option. "It is a slimmer lace-up which has more of a formal look and goes better with slimmer fitting pants, " Mukoro says.
