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
7. White vests
8. Skinny jeans
9. Frayed jeans
10. Red trousers
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.
