Re: Like, don't like.
I can pretty much echo your list Carpu. I don't like really pointy shoes and of course it's no secret that I despise men wearing little girly rise trousers.

Move the tattoos to the like column and we'd be pretty close.

Re: Like, don't like.
It's that horn-rimmed jazz aesthetic for me:
Casual neatness with Anglo-American flare.
Refined button-downs, if that's not a contradiction in terms.
Knitted and repp ties.
New Zealand tweeds.
English shoes and boots in the winter, American in the summer.
1959, a classic year for watches.
A whiff of the 1920s.
The promise of Ralph Lauren in the 1980s.
Rumbullion, calvados and classic French driven wines.
Hates:
Skin-tight and pants for men that sit on the hip.
Gangsta' rap fashion.
Jackets and trousers in the Pee-Wee Herman style.
Led Zeppelin and heavy metal.
The fashionista pitti-uomo clone look, complete with no socks.
