OK this reminds me. WTF people I've had two PM's in the past where the person thinks that my avatar is a picture of myself (seriously) and now this? Do you really [censored] think I have blue skin with spikes coming out of my face?

although how [censored] sweet would it be if I did and still managed to nail some myspace chick?

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

[censored],

Do you not have any friends that actually go clubbing etc etc? I would ask one of them to help you out by going shopping with you. They may give you [censored] for a few, but I'm sure they would help and give you honest opinions.

You could also just go to Abercrombie or somewhere similar and find the hottest chick working and ask her to hook you up. Maybe you will even get laid out of the deal. A chick would enjoy doing this for you and of course you would have an actual chicks opinion on what works for you.

I would get at least 5 pairs of nice jeans which can run you anywhere from 25-80. Any more than that is just silly to me, but I have friends that pay much more than this. I don't dig the whole destroyed look but it's definitely whats in.

Don't hate on Old Navy. If you want to start buying lots of clothes this store will be your friend. They have decent [censored] for much cheaper than Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, etc etc. Oldnavy.com is cool and they have [censored] on sale all the time, I have seen stuff cheaper in the store itself a lot though. I have probably 50+ old navy polo shirts all under 20 bucks.

You probably have never done it before, but when you go out anywhere start paying attention to what people are wearing. Look for ugly dudes with hot chicks, they are doing something right.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

SJ,
Does [censored] really seem like the type of person who enjoys clubbing or is friends with people who go clubbing?

And there is nothing cool about Old Navy.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

tpf,

I guess not, but he has to know SOMEONE who has a little idea of style. Who doesn't?

I used to hate old navy too, but it's cheap and they have some decent clothes sometimes. They do have a lot of queer items, but what place doesn't? I just bought this coat and I like it.

I also just bought these shoes if anyone cares. This post just has me in the mood to hear comments on my choices.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

SJ,
Old Navy is just not my style I guess. I recently purchased this coat from Banana Republic. I like it and has gotten some nice compliments so far.

I guess it comes down to the fact that I don't mind spending some decent money on clothes that I know I will keep for a decent amount of time, that are comfortable, and look good.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

Ok, I'd say go to www.aldoshoes.com and check some of those out. Go to an Aldo store if you can and try some on. I think they're hella stylish and not more expensive than normal sneakers. My "shoe closet" or whatever right now is a pair of casual Aldos, black dress up Aldos, light brown Roos, and some normal Reeboks or Nikes or something. I think that covers everything you could ever wear. Pair of sandals and flip flops too, but whatever.

On jeans, they don't have to be too stylish. After putting holes in my two favorite pairs (managed to chafe a hole in the course of a month in the crotch of one while travelling Europe and tore another hole in the crotch of another while climbing over a fence), I went to Abercrombie & Fitch and even though I pretty much despise the store, they have some nice Jeans, especially for $60. Also, the eye-candy girls working there are actually good for something and can point you to a pair of jeans depending on what kind of fit you want.

On shirts, for tees, I have [censored] tons of graphic tees in many colors. For undershirts, I have white and black bamboo shirts (the best material for clothing, ever). For dress shirts, I like the more gay/metrosexual collared stuff. My favorite dress shirts are probably from Guess? and Ralph Lauren/Polo.

For sweaters and stuff, just get something black and warm. After this I would say just layer. Don't get a big, crazy jacket unless you live somewhere really cold. I would rather wear an undershirt, tee-shirt, sweater, and light jacket instead of a t-shirt and big jacket.

Oh, and finally on jeans, get dark jeans. Light jeans are just silly. I like a little bit of fade in them, but not too much. Don't get jeans that drag on the floor. I think the perfect length has them coming just to the back of your shoe, almost on the floor when your leg is straight. Oh yeah, get comfortable jeans you don't mind wearing.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

After reading this, lapoker and (not surprisingly) TT have the best advice. Just re-read their stuff and you should be good.

Edit: FWIW, my shopping rotation includes Nordstrom, Express, Gap, Banana, and Armani Exchange. All of these places have good stuff, though Nordstrom is gold.

No silly you try them on, walk out of the dressing room, find a cute girl and ask her for her opinion and then you work it from there.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

I think shoes are really important. I have had numerous girls tell me that out the first two things they look at as far as your clothing is 1. shoes, 2. watch.

I think any jeans that look fine regardless of brand is fine but you should go out and just pick up abunch of fitted dress shirts (not sure your size probably around 15, 31/32, or something. Solids or stripes doesn't really matter I would just stay away from blues because greater chance of clashing with your jeans. Then you can go with the rolled up sleeves (I don't because everyone else does) or just the cuff flip or down and open or down and button anyway it looks good, tuck or no-tuck.

Jackets can be a good investment too. Personally I just like to go to the vintage shops and find old sports coats and stuff like that to wear as jackets.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

get a pair of girl jeans

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

just go on your dates looking like a scrub. you want the girl to love you for the man you are inside, not your watch. find the one who will see through your pee-stained jeans and torn filthy t-shirt to the pearl beneath. that is how you find your true love.

what do people think of these shoes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Affordable imitations of JP Todds / Gucci loafers. They aren't for everyone, but if you are the type that can rock them then they can really make the man. I recommend a tight-fit jean and no socks, Euro style to match the shoes... or alternately a very baggy pant (I wear my brown suede Gucci loafers with white baggy painters pants).

Because he asked if $500 was resonable to get his fashion up to date. I was pointing out it's not as that is one good outfit, easily.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself
 

[ QUOTE ]
TT, can you give some brand names of the shoes you are describing? I'm not to familiar with expensive shoes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably the most basic would be Ballys, easy to find and their leather quality is the best. Other than the big designer names there are a ton of little known Italian brands that you can probably find at your local mall - Saks, Neimans, Bloomingdales, and even MACYs all have at least a small collection of good Italian shoes for men (95% of the other stuff is junk of course).

Perhaps girls don't like gray shirts on Blarg, but generally I don't think girls care about a color as long as it matches the complexion of the person wearing it. For example I have two pink shirts, they would look very bad on Tony Paladino, but I look really good in them. Conversely yellow is not my color, I've tried many times but I always fail.

Re: Apparently I can\'t dress myself

I'll throw down some quick ideas:

Penguin and Ben Sherman both make some nice shirts.
Clothes from The Gap are horrible quality. Unless you are really on a budget you should not buy anything there that you plan on wearing to try and get chicks or impress anyone.
Camper have some really stylish sneakers, but they can also be rather uncomfortable.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed Pauluka's post (I really like Penguin and Ben Sherman). While I'm at it, I'm surprised we haven't advised [censored] on getting a blazer yet. You don't need a whole suit, but a nice well fitting blazer is a minimal requirement for the stylish man.

hmmm can you eloborate on matching the color to complexion thing? Is this just something you can tell? I have brown eyes, brown hair and always thought brown looked good me even though I don't really like it as a color. I'm not pale but not really tan either, maybe a bit reddish? without being red if that makes sense
