10 Looks You Should Really Leave in COLLEGE
By Kate Willson
http://www.collegecrunch.org/feature/10-looks-you-should-really-leave-in-college/
"Pajamas in Public
Looking like you rolled out of bed in flannel pajama pants, a college t-shirt and slippers is a look you'd better leave in college. An unkempt look can work at times, like messy hair or a wrinkled top, but, for goodness sake, leave the PJs and slippers at home.
UGG Boots
Uggs are winter boots known for their super soft sheepskin interior that both celebrities and college girls adore. College students often wear them tucked into jeans or with skirts, shorts and dresses. Uggs might be adorable in college, but they don't transition well as acceptable work footwear.
Lewd and Beer-Related Shirts
Nothing says college student (or wannabe) more than lewd and beer-related t-shirts, such as "FBI – Female Body Inspector," or "Make Beer, Not War." These shirts may have been funny in college, but you won't get the same reaction wearing them in a workplace.
Crocs
Unless you are a nurse or doctor, Crocs are shoes that need to be left in college. Sure, they are comfortable, lightweight and podiatrist-approved, but these foamy shoes just don't tread well after graduation.
Pants with Words Across the Butt
Jeans and sweat pants with words on the butt should really be left in college. No one is going to take you seriously if you have words like "PINK" or "Juicy" printed on your bottom.
The North Face Fleece
The North Face fleece is a very popular choice for collegiate outerwear. There's no doubt that The North Face has some of the best quality fleeces and outdoor clothing on the market, but this look screams, "I'm a college student," because you can find the brand's signature fleece jacket on just about every U.S. college campus. There are plenty of outerwear alternatives to the fleece, such as a wool pea coat, a leather jacket or a stylish trench coat that you won't find on 20 other people walking down the street.
Popped Collars
If "ever since you can remember you've been poppin' your collar," then you may have trouble giving up this fratastic look. Preps and fraternities have been sporting the popped-collar look in college for some time now, and even girls partake in the pop. Unfortunately, popped collars just don't fly in the real world and it looks downright silly.
Velour Track Suits
Velour track suits have been a popular alternative to jeans and t-shirts among teenage girls and college-age women for years. There's no doubt these track suits are comfy and cool in college, but they should not make an appearance in the real world. These track suits are just too casual and pajama-like to wear to work or anywhere you want to be taken seriously.
Thongs and Low-Rise Jeans
For those who don't understand what's wrong with this look, low-rise jeans are notorious for creeping so low that when a girl sits or bends over, her undies are exposed. With the amount of low-rise jean wearers in college, it's easy to spot thongs hanging out all over the place. This fashion faux pas may have been overlooked in college, but it can be disastrous in the workplace. If you're going to wear low-rise jeans, pair them with a long top that won't show your undies when bent over, or opt for mid-rise or high-rise jeans that make this fashion accident a thing of the past.
Oversized Sunglasses
Big sunglasses have taken over college campuses and plenty of college students' faces for years now. These shades can come in just about any style, shape and color, but they have to be BIG. Many students sport these shades when they are hungover, sleepy or trying to look cool, but the truth is, they are too big to make you look inconspicuous and they resemble goggles more than sunglasses. So, leave these silly sunglasses in college."

Please NOTE - I disagree with UGG Boots and Low Rise Jeans as both look good on girls.
a good site to figure out what's acceptable and what's not:
running clothes

So? They look stupid and I think they are morons. You want your arms to be warm, wear a f***ing long sleeve shirt. It's a marathon race, you will warm up.
So you're saying that Claude, Kathy, Gretchen, and a multitude of other successful women are *morons* ?
Maybe someone should inform them of their intellectual deficiencies before they accomplish anything else...
I'll nominate the college drop-out turned alcoholic poster with the fat ass for the job since he's out of work.

10. white trash fat women wearing motorcycle gear
11. white trash fat women who wear hoodies all the time
12. MySpace accounts of stupid people who broadcast they work at the grocery store and have no sense of protecting their privacy
Cowboy hats are only dumb if the person doesn't own a horse- As someone who lives on a farm with horses and such, the cowboy hat is a must have.
People who are not runners and wear colorful race flats, just to match their outfits.
Since I recently returned from New Jersey, I'd have to nominate the full body tracksuit that seems so prevalent there. It is usually color coordinated and has the three stripes down the leg. To look extra douchy, some even had Ed Hardy type graphics on the jacket.
Maybe a Letsrun.com singlet?

what's wrong with a drifit cap? it wicks sweat better than a cowboy hat
I had to come up with something I did not see yet:
A Dickie!! (or is it dicky)
these were around when I was a kid. For those of you who do not know, they are a fake turtle neck and not a whole lot different from those stupidass running sleeves.

A cross or any other religious accessories/garb. Whenever I see someone wearing that stuff all I can think is that he/she is clearly a very weak minded person.
A knit hat in the summertime.
Compression socks
