How to dress to impress?

[CCKazi007]

So what do girls mean by they like "well dressed" guy. I don't think I have ever recieved a compliment based on my what I thought looked good BUT when a girlfriend of mine dressed me up I actually got 3 compliments that day. So basically I have no clue how to dress to impress hot chicks and was wondering if anyone of you who receive compliments daily on ur clothing style would share some tips or pictures so I can learn!

I wear button up shirts and dress pants. I used to tuck my shirts in, but I got tired of having to adjust them all the time. At first I got a lot of compliments, but now its expected. When I DON'T "dress up" it gets a lot of questions and such. In the new school i'm known as "that kid that dresses up all the time" from people who don't know me.

I changed my wardrobe up last year and I now wear button up shirts, dress pants or nice pair of AE jeans, an occasional tie, and usually some nice flip flops during the summer or a nice pair of boots. I get compliments all the time and when i first meet girls they always seem to previously know me as the guy that wears nice clothes

 

[Skilla_Staz]

Exactly. Gets pretty good responses now doesn't it?

So you guys ALWAYS dress in buttondowns and kahki pants? like work, school and social life? I go to High School right now and I dunno if wearing buttondowns and kahkis everyday would be fitting but I might try wearning one. So what else do you guys wear polo or t-shirt with jeans? What kind of t-shirts to chicks dig? I got compliments for wearing a pink polo once.

the clothes help signficantly! Others take more notice to you and when you feel good about what your wearing your confidence skyrockets!!

I dont wear khakis. I wear dress pants. Black and white dress pants. Yes, to school, out with friends, around. Unless I"m feeling extremely tired.

In the rare chance that I wear jeans, I wear button ups, sometimes a polo, sometimes a ringer tee, sometimes a sweatshirt if I'm feeling scrubby.

I used to dress like a friggin slob when I was in Australia, but now with the help some female fbs I've rewamped my wardrobe.

I have to admitt that I got a shoe fetish, so I probably have about 20 pair of shoes, ranging from sneakers to more highclass stuff. A pair of good shoes is the best investment ever.

What I'm wearing now is : a washed out jeans, blue/white striped button down shirt, a beige belt, dark beige dress shoes, a sporty beige blazer and emporio armani glasses (don't really need them, but I swear to God, my IQ increases by 50 points whenever I put them on hehe )

I do get compliments on my style pretty often.

Right now, the only thing I have on is my cheap underwear. I'll let you know if there are any changements in my style.

You don't need flashy, name brand clothing (unless you absolutely want to, in which case there's nothing wrong with it). wear clothes that fit you, have a little bit of colour, learn to layer your clothes (dark red tshirt, black button up shirt over-top... that kinda thing), learn to colour match (belt and shoes should be same colour), and take care of your clothes (if they are wrinkled, iron them... *gasp* yeah learn to iron or get your mommy to do it)

I don't always wear buttondowns and Khaki's. Usually button downs and jeans. Or dress pants. I have a Lot of Polo's. I wear those with Khaki shorts or nice jeans. I rarely wear T-shirts to school unless there team/club shirts or when I'm going out. If I wear T's its usually on the weekends watching Football and there usually representing my teams. As to your Pink Polo I have one to and girls go crazy over it. I rarely wear it though. Don't wanna wear it out

I completely agree with you!

Actually the most important thing in modern clothing is the "fit", it should fit you. It's not only about the size, it's also about the "cut". Anything too tight or too baggy would look bad, whether it's from Walmart or from Saks.

Nowadays, if it's from a "normal" retail channel (understand big serious chainstores, no shady little shops or "value shops") in a reasonably developed country, the quality is rarely a problem, thus rarely a determining factor.

If you just happen to have something that fit you very well, chances are the same brands have product lines that would fit you well. Because the cut inside a brand is usually consistent. Like for example Hugo Boss fits better on big guys than the Italian brands. So basically fing your own brands and stick to them, you will have less bad surprises.

Once I bought a Dior shirt for almost 100 euros, that's more than 100 dollars. I was expecting a totally "mind blowing" quality shirt. But the result was worse than disappointing: too small for my size (feels like it's for real bony gay dudes), and the material was nothing special and too thin thus too transparent. My 25 euro quality shirts from C&A (a chainstore in Europe in the same price range than H&M) are so much better.

Ok I'd also like to point out the problem with less prestigious brands: their quality is not necessarily subpar, but it's true that overall they have more dumb/unfashionable/less classy articles than the more expensive brands. So our job is to choose more carefully and pick only the stylish and good looking ones.

One last thing: if you spend time around people who dress well, just by interacting with them, you will automatically learn how to dress well. I used to be in engineering fields, when I check out old pictures of myself from a few years back, I would cringe "damn, who's this badly dressed kid... ". Now that I work in marketing, plus in a cosmetics company, where "beauty" and "fashion sense" are the norm, I just dress much better than before. I'm definitely not a metrosexual because I'm still in the more casual/relaxed category for a marketing guy, but overall, I can say that I dress better than the average male population.

So basically, find brands that fit but are not necessarily expensive, and hang out with people who have good fashion sense. Of course, it doesn't mean that you need to make friends with gay dudes.

I get compliments every day on either clothes, shoes, or cologne.... I haven't found that girls have a problem giving compliments....

I get compliments frequently on an assortment of things...

It's in their nature.

Khakis and Flannel shirts aren't "better dressed than most guys"
Flannel shirts in general aren't very flattering.

Exactly, flannel shirts are for hicks.:crackup:

If you are a farmer or a construction worker then they might suit you well. Otherwise, don't buy or wear flannel shirts.

Except maybe when you go hiking in the mountains...

 

[CCKazi007]

Will someone post their pics? cuz it's much easier to understand. I've tried searching for Brad Pitt style but I was unsuccessful and I really don't want to rent movies just to see how he dresses.

Flannel is the greatest material on the planet.

Flannel = masculinity and beards.

 

[CLOONEY]

Industrie is the best brand. Great fits, great designs. Deisel has good shoes.

 

[rsxtreme]
