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.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Dressing nicer is getting expensive

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.

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.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
