In the exact same possition... The **** I used to wear around school 2 years ago! And I would wonder why no birds were keen...

i dress in a "standard" way I think : not too classy but i don't wear sport clothes all day long. i wear almost everytime jeans, with basic shirts, I mean like most of men of my age.
honestly, I think my clothes are pretty fine.
i'm a bit skinny and short, not too much and i do play sports pretty often so i'm an okay sharp I guess ..

1) Ask a female friend of yours about how you dress.

2) If you do, and the above is true, it's probably just a problem of sample size. Just keep putting it out there.

The way you talk may have been the real issue.

I'm in the process of changing my wardrobe as well. Turns out wearing only t-shirts everywhere isn't the optimal choice of clothes.

I hate 'smart' clothes though for some arbitrary reason that I haven't quite figured out. I now wear unbuttoned shirts over t-shirts if I'm going out. Still managed to avoid having any polo-shirts at all. The few polo shirts that I wouldn't mind to wear are all douchey makes.

If anyone has any recommendations for clothes/shoes for going out in I'd like to know

I thank you for your concern, but I've got talking covered

I ****ing hate that episode. Except for when Brian/Stewie smash up the record like the scene in Office Space.

as long as you can avoid looking like a hipster, i have found college girls partial to the jeans-designer tee-jacket combo.

edit also just jeans and a completely plain white shirt for some reason

[Karak]

you mean oversized jeans + hoodie isn't the new hotness?

ive found most success when i wear a blazer w/ nice jeans and a dressy t-shirt

It's not what you were, it's the fit that makes a good outfit.
Most people cant dress correctly, they were clothes which are way too wide. Americans are especially guilty of this, it's for some absurd reason gay, if you were good fitting jeans.
I am far from dressing perfectly, but wearing clothes two sizes too big makes you look like a clown.

Most men of your or our age, cant dress correctly and furthermore do clothes reflect your personality in a certain way. Someone who dresses exactly like everyone else in his age, will never get any attention right away, because they are more of the same, rather than being unique.

Style blogs are a good way of getting a grip on how to dress well, but a lot of it has to do with trial and error.

1) Dont ask a female friend. Females dont have a ****ing clue about Men's clothing (and vice versa).
Read on the internet, maybe you got a friend who knows how to dress, go shopping with him, but please dont ask for female opinions on how to dress.

2) No it's not. I am going out on a limb here and say his clothes are way too wide, his style is not unique enough and the colors are not really fitting.
And the sole purpose of athletic shoes is to do sports, not going out.

I agree with this. Self confidence for the win.

I'm not going to go too into clothing advice unless people are interested, but I will say one thing as pertains to flirting with girls: Ties are amazing.

Wearing an attractive but playful tie (vineyard vines ties for example) makes you look nice, but also is an excellent conversation piece (leads to you getting opened a lot, especially if you're one of the only ones in a tie), and is pretty much the best wardrobe piece to base physically escalating flirtation around (she steals your tie, you offer to teach her how to tie one on her from behind, she offers to retie it for you, etc etc).

Don't knock it til you try it. A loose four-in-hand knot over a plaint white oxford with either nice jeans or slacks (w/ or without blazer for the uber preppy look) = ez mode with women 18-27 ime.

Just a joke bro. "Birds"? "Keen"? I couldn't resist.

[heyyou24]
