Importance of Fashion Sense

[Jariel]

Just a little observation I have made and wondered if anyone has noticed the same. Basically, people with good fashion sense and good grooming are often people with good social lives and vice versa. This applies to men and women.

If you look at most unsociable geeks, their hair is oldfashioned or unkempt, their clothes are undaring and their grooming is below par. Generally, unsociable people have this kind of safe and conservative image.

I think confidence also has a lot to say in the matter. Unconfident people don't feel comfortable taking any fashion risks and find it difficult to break out of their safe fashion rut.

Your image reflects your lifestyle more than you might think and has a lot of influence over a person's overall sex appeal. I believe people who say that appearance doesn't matter are wrong, because the way a person presents him/herself says a lot about his/her character and is as much psychological as it is physical.

I have a female friend who has attractive features, a great figure and is a cool person, but she never wears make up, dresses in tracksuits and her hair is all over the place. I have always seen her like a male buddy and have never thought about her in a sexual context. However, a group of us met up the other night and on this occasion my friend had completely dolled herself up, got her hair done, wore fashionable clothes and make up. She looked very sophisticated and quite a fox! The strange thing is, I felt like I was talking to a totally different person and actually felt more respectful towards her.

The same thing happened to me. I used to dress in a casual, non-sexual way, my hair was overgrown and wavy, my skin was pale and I found that older women wanted to mother me and younger girls saw me as a brotherly figure. Once I changed my image, got tanned, groomed and started dressing fashionably, everything changed and I developed a more sexual presence and both men and women started to show me a lot more respect. The female attention, my confidence and my social life increased dramatically from this point on.

So if you are stuck in a conservative fashion rut, your first step towards success should be to improve your appearance and become more fashionable!

Don't be afraid to take some fashion risks and step out of your comfort zone.

Who has the most sex appeal and the better social life?

In fact, if you were judging on appearances alone, you would also assume Gary Dourdan is the most successful of the two.

You're right though Jariel, I think we should all at least have some fashion sense. Personally, I don't care about the latest trends etc, I only care about what looks good on ME (regardless of how 'fashionable' it is). You don't need to have an in depth knowledge of the fashion industry, just make yourself look decent. Remember that you want to give yourself an edge over everyone else.

I agree, I don't follow the trends either. If everyone is wearing the in thing, I try not to. But I try to go with a timeless yet fashionable look, that shows some class and style. In fact, my sense of style is quite inspired by Gary Dourdan (whose pic I posted above) and fashion models.

I don't necessarily stand out in a club with a smart dress code, but I do stand out from the average guy on the street, at university and during my daily travels.

I see way too many decent looking guys (and girls) who don't take much pride in their appearance. They don't realise they carry so much potential!

thats true, i used to be scared of wearing loud colours cos i said i never wanted attention, now adays i mix up my stuff. i realized that it aint even about wearing the current trends and all that crap. its about how you mix and match. i got a friend with very few clothes but with the way he mixes them up when we go out ud think this dude had alotta clothes and money. having money dont necessarily make you fashionable. by the way i kinda hate people that always follow the current trend or people who dress to look like everybody else, i remember when jayz rocked the button up thing, every guy and thier dog looke alike at the clubs it was so pathetic.

So where do you shop Jariel?

Mostly highstreet stores like River Island, Next and Top Man, but I find some really good designer stuff in TK Max sometimes at a reduced price.

As a student, I can't afford to buy top of the range designer clothes at retail prices, but I tend to go on the look rather than the brand.

I buy most of my things from Italy... I also have a friend of mine who has a label and designs stage clothing for musicians create T-Shirts and radically customise jeans for me...

When I'm out, I'll get a lot of attention, and I have the skills to be able to capitalise on it... I don't wear the typical name brands, such as the Armani's, D&J, Gucci and so forth, I choose things which are more unique, regardless of branding... I'd never shop in TK Maxx or River Island etc etc purely because what's in there is mass purchased, so there is no individual element to your style, and there system of design is to pick up on the trends which have just passed and turn out massive numbers so you're always a little behind... the way things work for me, I can pick out clothes that I bought 3 years ago and receive a crazy number of compliments

But hey, it's only one factor... there's many more ways to get a girl... firstly, you should live within your means, because as cool as having the unique clothing is, it costs me around £4,000 a year, but I'm fortunate in that I can afford that expense... and remember if you're only positive attribute is that you dress well, then you've got a long way to go before you're getting any pvssy, lol..
