Fashion: How Does The Average Guy Pull Off A Hot New Look?

Blazers are the hot item for guys right now.

Excerpted from Date Out Of Your League….

The Classic Blue Blazer
Once you have your navy suit hanging in your closet, next on
the list of what you need to own should be a classic blue blazer with plain, polished brass, black, or blue buttons. It comes from elite origins, but the blue blazer is universal and complements almost everyitem in your wardrobe, whether it’s a striped dress shirt, a turtle neck, or a solid T-shirt, a patterned tie, a solid tie, or no tie; khakis, flannels and jeans; loafers and wing tips. They’re a staple for well-dressed men, and will be for you, too.

DRESS TO IMPRESS
Before we look at some fundamentals of every well-dressed
man’s wardrobe, let’s talk about why clothes are so damn
important.

Dating (as life) is about sales. And the three basic rules to success in sales are:

• Rule #1—Know your audience.
• Rule #2—Give them what they want.
• Rule #3—Analyze the competition and do things better than they do.

So why worry about your clothes and your personal style? Because it is what your target audience wants (see Rule #2).

Still need some other reasons to finally throw out those acid-
washed jeans and crop that mullet? How about this …

A Well-dressed Man = A Confident, Successful Man.

Confidence … The No. 1 trait a woman seeks in a mate.

Or, try this on for size (no pun intended)—Depending on
whom you ask, it takes anywhere between seven and 90
seconds for someone to form their first impression of you
Either way, the image conveyed, along with its resulting per-
ception, are both immediate and long lasting. In fact, ac-
cording to the experts—they’re permanent.

Personal style is the single most significant indicator of
who someone is,
who they want to be, and
who they want us to perceive them to be.

THE RULES
No matter what you’re wearing, and whether it’s dressy or
casual, there are some basic rules that make sense to adhere
to:

• Clothes must fit well. If they don’t, don’t buy them or get to a tailor, pronto.
• Never wear dirty clothes.
• Wrinkled clothes look sloppy–iron them or get them professionally pressed.
• Maintain your wardrobe and keep clothing in good
repair (no holes, frayed seems, unraveling hems, etc.).

DRESS FOR SUCCESS
Dressing with style and class will set you apart from 80% of the male population.
