cell phones | tennis | baseball | accountant | Cole Haan

Clip-on PDAs and cell phones. Don't hang gadgets from your waist. It adds inches.
Black socks with tennis shoes. Enough said, part two.
Baseball caps and visors. Works only if you're a professional ballplayer or accountant. Guys, opt for a cool, canvas "bucket hat" instead. Gals, packable straw "crushers" with wide brims.
Beat-up briefcases. Tired. Upgrade to a modern laptop case or aluminum briefcase.
Multiple dangling bags. Purse + tote + briefcase + laptop case = You look like a walking department-store rack. Use one contemporary bag that multi-tasks.
Speedos and band-aid bikinis. Enough said, part three.
