Today's Special? Fashion: Guys' Edition!

I am sick and tired of thinking some guy is boyfriend potential, and then realizing their clothing is asbolutely ridiculous. On to the next one! If your girlfriend is a fashionista, like moi for example, you'll have to realize that clothing is something she will notice. In fact, it's probably the first thing she notices, even if you do have a beautiful smile and look slightly like David Beckham. It's not that the girl is high-maintenance, despite what you guys might think, it's simply that she wants to be proud of her man, and part of being proud is being able to have him by her side - and if she isn't going to buy that furry purse at the mall, then why would she want you? If a guy cannot dress nicely, it gives one of two (or... two of two) first impressions that you don't really want to have: 1) In a world where image is everything, you don't care about your image. If you don't care about your image, then you don't care about much else in life. Enough said. 2) You are unhygenic. Gross. Ew. Get those bugs out of your hair and shower.  Here are some basic steps to follow if you're looking to get looked at, and maybe, just maybe, score a second date sometime.

1) Don't dress like a hobo. What is attractive about a hobo? NOTHING. Don't wear baggy, dirty sweats with an XXL t-shirt, covered in your lunch. That is DIS-GUS-TING. Disguting. What girl wants to go out with that? Um, not me, my friend. Oh, you don't like shopping, and so you wear the same clothes over and over again? Get over it. Ew.

2) Light jeans? No way, José! I am definietly not one of the few who prefers DARK jeans on her guy. The reasoning? In my opinion, light jeans on anyone do not look flattering. Light clothes, especially panst,  have the potential to make you look bigger than you are, and they also have the ability to look old - think faded. Dark jeans always are classy for any sort of occasion, especially when paired with a nice shoe. They also make you look younger and slimmer. Hurray!

3) SHOES. Shoes. Shoes are very important to a girl, hence why we girls have so many of our own! It's important to have a few types of shoes for various occasions, and outfits! While I really prefer dark shoes on a guy (can't see stains, classier) make sure it's a shoe that can go with a number of different pants, but especially jeans. Get a shoe yu find comfortable for everyday, and then a lace-up dress shoe for more important occasions! And if you want a THIRD pair, I reallly recommend a nice brown dress shoe to go with your nice dark jeans! Perfecto!

4) Shirts. T-shirts. Collared shirts. Black shirts. White shirts. There are a lot of shirts. Basically, the rule of thumb is to always wear something you feel comfortable in, and think you look good in. However, just make sure the shirt firts you properly! There is nothing worse than a guy who is uncomfortable (and odd-looking) because his shirt is too tight, and a guy in a shirt that's too big makes him look big! Even if he's very well-defined ;) Have a few casual shirts, and I recommend a nice white t-shirt, as well as a black one, for casual nights out. Nothing looks better than a white shirt. For dress shirts, again it's important to have a proper fit, in black and white, and maybe a few more colours. JUST MAKE SURE THEY FIT!

5) A blazer jacket. Why do you need a blazer jacket? Google David Beckham and then click on "images" - THAT'S WHY!!! In fact, here's a link: CLICK HERE. Although Becks is mainly topless in these pics (hey, I'm not complaining!) for those in which he's not, please note he's wearing a blazer. And every woman knows this man is HOT.

6) MAN-jewerly. You know, I really believe this is  NO-NO. Besides from a watch (and a ring, beloging on your wedding finger) I realy think man-jewerly is a bit passé. Very '90s. Last time I checked, the Backstreet Boys grew up.

As far as fashion goes, I think this is about it! Buy some nice sweaters to go with your collared shirts that ARE NOT hoodies, and you're good to go! I like hoodies on guys, but they're Besides that, here is the biggest, BIGGEST, most important, most CRUCIAL (am I getting my point accross?) aspect in any guy: HYGEINE!!!!!!!!! Guys, take a shower! Cut your hair! Wash your face! Shave from time to time! Don't bite your nails and MAKE SURE your hands and nails ARE CLEAN. Do you think I want a guy touching me if he has crap all over his hands, with tons of germs and boogers and all that other fun stuff? I THINK NOT. Wash up regularly, put on deoderant, and BRUSH YOUR TEETH.

But last but not least, what looks REALLY good on a guy? A great personality! Be a nice guy, with a sense of humour, who shows he is happy to be with his girl. Oh and a nice smile. As Annie says (yes, yes, I'm quoting Broadway musicals): You're never fully dressed without a smile! :)
The End!
