How to Dress Well
Here are the basic rules about clothes:
First and foremost, clothes must fit well!
It doesn't matter how great a shirt is if it looks ill-fitting. It
doesn't matter how much a pair of pants has been marked down if it
pulls into a pronounced "starfish" shape where the legs meet the
crotch. Simple clothing that fits well is far better than fancier clothing that just
"doesn't look right."
If you are interested in pursuing a casual
ragged, torn-up clothing look, proper fitting is the difference
between looking sexy and looking like a slob. Next time you see a
man or a woman who looks great in the torn-up style, notice how well
the clothes fit them. You'll notice they fit perfectly, which is why the style
works.
Some clothing stores are better for the
average man than are others. If you are a bit overweight, some of
the more hip and upscale stores may not have clothes that fit you
well. Keep shopping around to different clothing stores. Very often
one store will have an entire line of pants, for instance, that
don't fit you right. It's just the way their clothes are cut.
Another store, on the other hand, might have a wide variety of pants
that fit you. It's a good idea to keep shopping around until you
find a store where the clothes fit, they look good, and the
salespeople help you expand
your style.
How do you know when clothes don't fit well?
Often, the salespeople will tell you, though you can't count on
that. If you are shopping with a friend, he or she can also tell
you. The bottom line is simply this: if you don't feel like the
clothes fit, they don't. Don't waste your money, and move on to the next piece.
The second rule of clothing is that clothes must be clean!
Because most men are "clothes blind," and can't seem to tell when
clothes need laundering, let's briefly go over how you know when
it's time to wash something. If it's underwear, and you've worn it,
wash it. With shirts
and pants, you can be more discriminating.
To tell if shirts and pants are dirty, look at them under bright
light. Are there any spots or stains? If there are, rub the spot
with stain remover (buy it where you buy detergent), and wash. Pants
also need laundering when they start to
get baggy and wrinkled.
Blue jeans are especially susceptible to stretching and getting
baggy. When this happens, it's time to wash them.
The third rule of clothing is that clothes shouldn't be wrinkled!
Yes, you might have to iron your shirts and pants, or have them
ironed. Cargo pants, for instance, are very popular now, and often
have pockets with flaps that stick up and look ridiculous if they
aren't ironed.
The fourth rule of clothing is that you must keep clothing in
good repair! Look under "Seamstress" in the local yellow pages, and
get buttons sewed back on, holes patched and rips mended right away.
Wearing clean, well-fitting, ironed clothes that are in good
repair has multiple benefits. Not only do you look good, you also
feel good. Your style of dressing will naturally send out the
message to women that you are attractive, together, and of interest
to her.
If you are like most men (and you probably are, right?) you
aren't going to be able to transform your style of dressing without
help. Look at getting help from:
1. Stylish Men. Who do you know who has a great sense of style?
Approach stylish men you know, and ask them for advice. Ask them
where they shop for clothes, and where they get their hair cut. Then
go to those places and ask the sales clerks to help you with a "new
look." They'll often suggest clothing you wouldn't normally get for
yourself, but that your style could "grow into."
2. Women. Another intelligent way to shop is to find a stylish
woman who you are not interested in sexually, and ask her to go
shopping with you. One of our students had a tremendous experience
the first time hedid this. He went to Cindy, and asked her to go
shopping with him. He knew she had an extraordinary sense of style,
but also wasn't interested in her sexually, so it wouldn't matter if
they became friends. She had only one requirement: he must promise
to buy everything she told him to until the three hundred
dollars he'd set aside for clothing was gone. It turned out she gave
him great advice, and some of the hardest purchases to make, such as
spending fifty dollars on a tie, turned out to be some of the best.
For months he got compliments from women on how great he looked, all
because he was willing to commit himself to looking good. "It was
hard at first," he said later. "A lot of the clothes she told me to
buy, I didn't really want. But it turned out to be great, and did a
lot to help me create my personal style."
3. Male Friends. It's good to go clothes shopping with other men
who are also developing their personal style. The right men friends
can help encourage you take fashion risks, and look even more
attractive to women.
In time you will develop relationships with stores you like,
where you know you can trust the clerks to suggest new style ideas
that will both express your true self and make you even more
attractive to women. One of our students who often wears a cowboy
hat that looks great on him got the hat that way. "I'd never
considered a hat like that before," he says. "But when the clerk
brought it over and set it on my head, it looked great. I knew right
away it was right for me, and I never would have found it by
myself." As you buy more clothes, you will discover
what you
really like, and what kinds of clothes really make the kind of
statement you want to make to women.
