Be stylish or fit in

[skumface]

At my school and I guess most schools all the guys wear t-shirts and normal levi jeans. The only guys that wear polos are the really snobby guys that don't have friends. I want to stick out from the crowd but at the same time not look like a fag. I'm women will appreciate a guy that dresses properly but since none of the other guys do the girls wont know the difference.

So do I go bold and wear something different and stylish or stick to the crowd?

It really depends.

Wear threads that fit 'you' as a person, and that say something about yourself. For best results with the ladies, wear clothes that fit your attitude and personal style, whatever that is.

For instance, if you're pretty quiet and don't really make yourself stand out in a crowd, don't use clothes to do that. It will just make you look unnatural and won't help create that aura that you want. If you're a sporty guy, throw in some sports jerseys and stuff. You get what I'm diggin' at?

Wear clothes that fit your personality, don't wear clothes and then try to fit the personality that goes with them, it won't feel natural to you and won't create a positive vibe.

Put abit of thought into how(or if) you are unique from the average guy, and incorporate those qualities into your threads.

My personal choice would be always to stick out from the crowd, although that is my personality so it doesn't seem unnatural to other people.
Here is what I'd do for the school year:

1. Buy 2 pairs of stylish shoes(white & black)
2. Buy 2 nice belts(white and black)
3. 2 or 3 styles of jeans(destroyed, bleached, dark)
4. several collared shirts(polos)
5. as many t-shirts as you want(throw in afew nice ones with pics or band names)
6. 3 or 4 nice sweaters
7. 1 or 2 sports jerseys(i hit up the rugby jerseys)

Try to coordinate what you wear(ie. if you wear a white belt, wear the white shoes to match, if you wear the black belt...black shoes.) and make yourself look decent, you know what I'm gettin at.

THe list above is what I've done in the past, it worked for me.

how bout u compromise and get an Ecko polo shirt or somethin. i like wearin that kinda stuff cus its urban but classy at the same time and it doesnt look unnatural (for me at least). girls like it when u look cleaned up

if i went to your school i would where nice clothes like a&f, ae, hc, ax but i would stick with the jeans and tshirts from those stores some schools act like everydays a fasion show and others scrub it bc there only there for school, then at partys, dates, and going out or whatever bust out your button downs and polos

Standout for sure, I'm currently trying to switch my look to more fashionable kinda like a Metrosexual/Peacocking/rapper type of way. Like before I was switching my rapper look I was buying some peacocking stuff. First day I came to school I was looking and feeling like "The Sh!t" girl came over and was like "What you think you a pretty boy now" and just busting on me, and of course I'm busting back.

Then Another day I come in peacocked with some red and black skull shirt. Which made me look like i was turning gothic, because i took a spike arm band from a friend, and a staff member came up to me and said "For a minute i thought you were turning gothic because I seen your shirt" then a kid comes up to me asking where I got the shirt from.

I realize when comes to peacocking you don't have to be outrageous in a low energy place to stand out, in clubs you can go outrageous, but just 1 thing in a low energy place can make you stand out.

Easiest way to standout is accesories, belts, rings, armbands, necklaces, hats, sunglasses. I once seen this girl with a watch ring. I always wear hats and always make girls watch it for me that way it builds trust and stuff.

I would recommend learning about fashion, and standing out because it is way better than blending in. Your friends might try to put you down because your trying to change but its just because they think your going to be cool and never hangout with them again.
