Okay I'm curious of those of you that go to Kohl's. I like the dressy shirts like you find at Banana Republic, ones where you can roll up the sleeves and look good with jeans. What would be some good brands at Kohl's in terms of quality.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Dressing nicer is getting expensive

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You can find nice clothes at Target, T.J. Maxx, A.J. Wright, J.C. Penney, and Sears for cheap all the time. A true DJ doesn't need labels to make him.
the clothes i like to wear are
There are different brands,
Casual wear I normally wear 7, D&G or Diesel jeans. With Dsquared, Diesel, Fcuk or Abercrombie tshirts. With Diesel shoes. I like these brands of jeans because they fit nice and I like their low rise fit.
A little nicer wear, I love Hugo Boss. I have many long sleeve shirts, pants and shoes.
It gets expensive, but I have my style which I am happy with.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

personally to me, brands don't matter, i can wear a tank top, jeans that don't cost much, and a pair of cool shades and girls still tell me i look good.
its not about brands per se. its about feeling comfortable in what you are wearing, be it branded or not. some may feel uncomfy walking around in cheap jeans, while others may feel perfectly happy in them
its your personal sense of style.
if the clothes fit, they look darn good, why wouldn't you buy them...? because they aren't branded?
sure people judge a book by its cover, but they're not going to scrutinize every brand tag that lies on your body.
have a good body build, buy clothes that look good on you, maybe pamper yourselves once in awhile and buy something expensive, but just don't overdo it.
there are many cheaper alternatives to expensive clothes, that look just as good, and feel just as good, for a lesser price.
spend your dough wisely.

Guess I'm just really lucky then. I get my clothes for less than a quarter.
My mom works at a second hand store that gives away brand new clothes for a quarter or less. It is very cool especially after the holidays.

DOCKERS is an excellent brand of clothing, shoes, belts, nice quality, not expensive
almost eveything is made overseas by cheap labor anyways:
China,Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Bangladesh, Philippines, UAE, Guatamala, Honduras,etc.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Those things better zip themselves for you and come with a 100,000 mile warranty for that price. Normally I'd buy 6 pairs for that amount, not that I would as I tend to just cycle through the same 2 or 3 pairs anyway.frivolousz21 said:

I like to find locally-owned exchange stores that actually seed through what they sell for what actually looks good. They'll pay for the clothes that get brought in, and they're good quality, fit well, look nice. You'll spend 15-30 on jeans, 10-20 on a shirt that sold for 50 when it was new a year ago. Most of the stuff doesn't look worn cause they're picky. These stores are hard finds, but most major cities will have 'em.
$100+ for a pair of jeans is not much at all. I have two pairs of jeans that cost me about $130 each.. they have lasted me for years. You seriously don't need that many pairs of jeans either.
Dress shirts... I have three really cool shirts that I have for going out that cost me about $215 each. I bought these over the years. They are European fit and tailored to me as I just find that it fits my body type way better than american clothing made for an ever-growing fattier population. It's hilarious what they call "slim fit" these days :crackup:
If you know how to take care of your clothing, a couple hundred is well worth it and can go a long way granted you get the right style and fit for you. Money seriously shouldn't be an issue. I've blown $100+ easily at a club for a night with drinks, bottle service, etc. I'm sure many of you have too. Or on electronics, or on whatever. Clothing is no different, and likely will even last longer and will convey more about you. Anyone can save for it. The brand means nothing compared to the actual style of the clothing and how it fits you and makes you feel.
Quality over quantity. Doesn't mean you can't find good clothing for cheaper. It's just if you're willing to spend more, you will have more options.

The replies in this topic are telling of how many dudes on this site likely dress like azz.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
You should learn to shop around... I wear some overpriced brand name stuff too but I always get it for a steep discount. There are very few times you should buy full price.
Obviously if you know what you're doing sometimes dropping a bunch of money is worth it... But I'm going to be a condescending jackass and assume that you don't know what you're doing.
If you buy good quality stuff it will last a long time. I barely buy clothes anymore because I have a fully stocked wardrobe and I take care of my stuff.
Also... Timberland dress shoes?

If you've got your measurements down, Ebay is actually a great place to save on expensive clothes.
When I last redid my wardrobe,
I bought 4 pairs of NEW or barely worn Rock and Republic designer jeans (retail $ 300 ea) for less than $ 80 each.

It's the man wearing the clothes as opposed to the brand names.
Money wise, you're just paying for a name. I could wear some sh*t from Ross, Target, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross, etc and look fly!
I also shop on ebay! Try getting some expensive sh*t from there. It's usually cheaper.

It's also about how well the clothing fits. Note by fits, the clothing shouldn't be hanging far off of your body.nismo-4 said:
That's why I can thrift shop so effectively and come up with a look. It needs to be tight, versatile and out there. Don't use standard color combos you see everywhere, you need to seem "Fashion forward"
Navy's and Grey's etc work well with suit type clothing, though that's becoming more popular now.
Black is way too formal.
I've seen black on black and it's a nice look, but I don't think it's very popular atm.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
