wow a lot of good stuff said, a lot of bull**** said too. there is no "one look" that women prefer. these people who are saying "a good style is this, because i wear it" are retarded, you need to dress nice yes, but it still needs to be YOU. if all of your friends are skaters and you skate then chances are you wear skater clothing. if you show up to school one day and your sporting abercrombie and fitch and are wearing $120 jeans... first everyone will know your a ****ing poser, and second you just wasted $120 on jeans. give me a break, the best pair of jeans i ever bought were $25, the most expensive i have ever bought were $50, and believe me i wont ever spend that much on jeans again. i'm using skaters as an example here because thats what and who i am. i had the standard skater look going for a long time - skater shoes, jeans, a tshirt, maybe a hat or something. one day i got sick of looking the same as everyone else, but i did not want to change my whole style, so i made two changes and have gotten compliments like mad from everyone - my guy friends, my girl friends, my girlfriend, my ex, like seriously everybody except for the occassional hater, but they're just jealous i think. anyways, here's what i did - i bought shirts that stand out, but arent flashy. for example, i have a light pink tshirt, girls are constantly telling me its way hot. i also have a green tshirt, because not many people wear green around here. second, i bought shoes that matched my shirts. these are skater shoes, and the best choice i made was a pair of white globe shoes, and then bought the laces of the other color globe shoes, then i can just switch the laces out to match my shirt. you would not believe how people notice this. the point of this isnt for you to copy my style, its for you to keep your style, but make it look sharp and unique. you should be able to go to a party, and when you see someone the next day they'll be like "hey, you were the guy with the pink tshirt." it should leave an impression, a good impression. but dont just buy it because i did, or you saw it in some magazine, but it because YOU like it.
