I also have to encourage all my fellow mates on here struggling to understand what 'attraction' really is for women to notice a man, is laying the proper foundation even before you can exert your 'confidence' by talking to her. Women are just like men, human beings - and shallow as a 6' deep freshly dug grave. I have read somewhere that women can determine in 5 seconds just by looking at a man if she would have sex with him. Therefore, you must LEARN style in what you wear (not fashion, fashion is BS).
I am now 41 years old, but for first 38 years of my life - I lived like a typical American sheltered in our own ego-centric Americanized society never realizing that another world/culture exists beyond our somewhat arrogant view of the world of United States just because we are the most powerful nation. As a U.S. federal government employee, I was privileged to work overseas in Germany and now over 3 years in the United Kingdom. Did this experience OPEN my eyes for the first time, to how sh!tty American men have it in terms of style and dressing compared to the European men.
It is not any of our faults as Americans (if you are one) - our society as American men lack depth in culture when compared to the Europeans. No wonder beta fuccks are bred here more than anywhere else in the world. When you dress like sh!t as American men do, women of all culture/nationality will look at your jeans/sneakers combination and will never think twice about you. Guess what?? the beta mentality kicks in and you start the 'chase' just to get noticed.
My 4+ year stint here living in Europe has transformed myself as a man - I don't think I would have becoming a true DJ in full understanding if I didn't have the European ex-girlfriends (French, German, and British) that tells me the truth about how poorly styled the typical American man is. I learned to dress very ATTRACTIVE - the key word here is ATTRACTIVE. You don't need to be rich, as I am not because I am a divorced father and have child support to pay for as a lot of you would also understand. But knowing what to wear to ATTRACT women for that first 5 seconds is crucial state of playing your game right.
So I don't even think about wearing sneakers anymore - nor the faded light colored BAGGY RELAXED style jeans that American men think is so comfortable but is totally BETA fuccked wardrobe. Here are some recommendations from my experiences in transforming from a beta fuccked American to a now head-turning alpha fuccked messed up American living in Europe:
1) Look for non-manmade soles shoes: This means, look for shoes that has REAL leather soles on the bottom, or hybrid. REAL good shoes have REAL leather soles, not some beta fuccked looking fake rubber soles.
2) Have in your wardrobe, always a killer set of brown or dark tan colored wing-tipped oxfords. The true Italians always wear brown over black shoes - black shoes are only worn during night time or with formal attire. The killer wardrobe is a sexy (to women) brogued (The British term for wing-tip) brown oxfords with leather soles.
3) Look for shoes made in Italy or has unique features such as brogue (not the plain toe cap look). Doing some serious browsing through Amazon.com, where I buy over 50% of my shoes. You can get some killer Italian shoes at over half the price if you look long and hard. I have never paid over $100 for a pair of real leather soled Italian shoes, even some Hugo Boss oxfords. Some good brands are Ted Baker (mentioned earlier) that are absolutely stunning to women - they will salivate on command like Pavolov the *****h in heat for you. There's another brand on Amazon.com 'Area Forte' made in Italy shoes that are trendy and leather soled. I have a huge collection of 'Guess' boots, they are non-conventional and gives you extra height as well.
4) Invest in GOOD quality dark blue denim jeans with fine features in its appearance (not crap jean look). Some good names are Perry Ellis, but you can find higher end Levi jeans that have dark colored appearance of a cross between formal and informal. This pair of high quality jean will allow you to wear your wing-tip brogued brown oxfords and a sports jacket that will be a killer outfit anywhere at anytime.
5) Look for good sports jackets or blazers that FITs you well. Look for good winter coats that FITS you well - don't be the typical retarded American that buys one size larger to accomodate for some unknown Yeti-suit inside the coat. This is absurd. Women spend HOURS looking for coats/jackets that accentuates their body shape, so should you.
6) Have a good supply of argyle socks, with mixed dark brown and black colors that will complement all color of jeans and brown/black shoes. Match the color of your belt to the color of your shoes, but NOT the color of your socks to your shoes or else you will look like wearing boots.
7) Learn about COLOR complementing: This means NEVER wear two pieces of clothing next to each other of colors are too close alike but not identical. This is the worst look ever. Match similiar color together but have enough contrast to not look like a dork or man without style. When it comes to socks, sometimes you can go for a totally different colored socks to bring some zest into your personality.
8) Get a nice wool coat that will drape over you - one that you can wear outside of your sports jacket in the winter. Choose a non-black color, this way you can wear it to work or on the weekends. A properly fitted and draped wool coat an be a killer style statement.
9) GET ATTRACTIVE SHOES!! Shoes says so much about your style and taste - no wonder women fret over their own shoes even in their sleep. A good pair of POWER shoes will make you feel like a REAL Man and it will exert the confidence you need when you walk, without you even realizing it.
Good luck.
