There were been interviewed over 30 young women between the ages of 18 and 32 about their likes and dislikes when it comes to guys’ fashion. We even asked them to give special attention to why they consider us Nerds unfashionable.

Here are their hot 10 responses, ordered by frequency of occurrence. Some tips may surprise you - they surprised us!

1. Never wear socks with sandals
There are few things women hate more than this footwear choice. Ask any woman you can find - to them, wearing socks with sandals is an extremely heinous act.

2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
You may think tucking in your shirt looks ‘neater’, but women strongly disagree. ESPECIALLY when it comes to tucked in t-shirts.

3. Do NOT wear free or company t-shirts
Free t-shirts are great, but don’t wear them anywhere you actually hope to talk to girls.

4. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY
Simple rule: No running, no running shoes. Period. Yes, I’m talking about Nike, Reebok, or New Balance. Gone.

5. If it has a hole, tear or discoloration throw it out
It doesn’t matter how tiny the hole is - get rid of worn out clothing immediately! The ONE exception is jeans. This also applies to shoes.

6. Pants - no pleats or tapered legs
You’re not a rock star, so no tapered or tight-legged jeans.

7. No facial hair
Long story short, to be on the safe side, ditch the facial hair. Yes, some men can pull it off, you probably aren’t one of them.

8. Make sure nails are trimmed and clean
Who knew - women pay attention to a guy’s finger nails.

9. White socks are only worn during athletic activities
Gleaming, bright-white socks, worn beneath jet-black dress shoes. Even we have to admit that’s pretty ugly. If your socks come anywhere above your lower ankles, ditch the white.

10. Always wear a belt
Pants have belt-loops for a reason. Use them. You can’t go wrong with black or brown, but stay away from large, fancy buckles.
