Anyone know this fallacy?

"Professor, just between you and me, you’ve got to get rid of those remarkably ugly neckties you wear. No one with any class whatsoever wears ties like that."

Does anyone know what fallacy this could be?

It's hardly a fallacy, and only a mere opinion. I suppose you could argue for an ad hominem (guilt by association).

Classless people wear ugly neckties
Professor so and so wears ugly neckties
Therefore Professor so and so is classless.
