The biggest fashion errors men can make, according to British men
Socks with sandals still considered sartorial suicide
Socks with sandals, short trousers and skinny jeans are among the biggest fashion errors a man can make, according to a new survey.
One third of men questioned by Harvey Nichols said socks and sandals was the worst of all clothing errors, with badly fitting clothing and short trousers following closely behind.
The men of Britain also voted Jeremy Corbyn to be the country's worst dressed man and David Beckham the best.
Based on the survey, Harvey Nichols compiled a list of 10 no-go items for men's wardrobes.
1. Wearing socks with sandals
2. Badly fitted clothing
3. Trousers that are too short
4. High-waist trousers
5. Shorts that are too short
6. Brogues or loafers without socks

The women of Britain also weighed in - with one half agreeing that socks with sandals is the worst thing a man can wear.
Unlike the men, though, many British women said beards and top knots were also big fashion error.
