Men's Wardrobe
Essentials
Here I present a basic list of wardrobe-essentials.
Opportunities for meeting girls are everywhere, you need to be primed at all
times. The wardrobe outlined here is targeted at summer 2006.
A study was done where fifty women were asked to grade pictures of men based on
attractiveness, all the men were dressed the same. Then another fifty women
were shown pictures of the same men but this time the unattractive men were
smartly dressed. The initially unattractive men came out on top with the second
test. It's possible to conclude that women find you more attractive if you
dress smarter.

The Basics
A Dark Wash Jean
: Throw away your Levis 501s you need a pair of Diesel Jeans. Boot fit or
straight cut is fine just make sure they fit all the way down to the bottom of
your trainer or shoe. Extra points if the bottom of the jean drags along the
ground and frays when you're wearing your retro trainers.
Shirts
You need two or three shirts that are slim fit, even if you are not slim the
point is that when tucked into trousers the shirt tapers in and looks clean.
Shirts with acres of material puffed out like a tutu are bad.
You may have to try a few different brands until you find one that fit's nice,
then buy a couple of different colours or patterns in that fit. For me Jaeger
Slim Fit work perfect.
Cool Polo :
This summer pink is still in but yellow is the new pink, and for those of you
who are still wearing that Ralph Lauren polo shirt you've had for 10 years
you're in look because they are back in, however you need to upgrade to a smart
new one.
Cool polo shirts look good with Jeans. Don't wear polo shirts tucked into your
Jeans the girl you're thinking of chatting up. that's how her dad wears them.
Big Print T Shirts
: Look for well fitting T shirts that are not baggy, choose good quality
cotton. Extra points if it looks slightly worn even though it's brand new. A
must is some sort of design on the front.
Sunglasses : If you were a big fan of Top Gun and
bought the RayBan's then find them, they're retro cool. Big sunglasses are in,
personally I still think a pair of Oakleys or Police are the ones to go for.
Beach ware :
There's only one thing to wear on you're feet at the beach and that's flip
flops. In fact if it's hot and you're wearing shorts in any situation flip
flops are the footwear to go for. Trainers on bare feet do not look cool. If
you're Australian you'll already have this angle covered.
Shorts
- whatever you do, don't buy shorts with an elasticated waist band. The band
will cut into your waist and you'll get a slight overhang. The likes of
QuickSilver and Billabong do surf shorts with a non-elastic waist.
Retro Trainers/Sneakers
: All star trainers are back in, in fact think retro. You may have a pair of
running trainers and the only time you should be wearing them is when you're
running. Think Adidas retro styles and you'll be fine.
Belt :
Basically you need two belts a smart black leather one for your trousers, and a
brown leather retro belt with detailing for your jeans. If you wear Jeans with
no belt stop now, it looks bad.
Jacket : Personally I don't bother with Jackets
much, on the London clubbing scene they can be a pain.
Shoes :
You can get away with one pair of black leather slip on shoes. It's worth going
for a name such as Church's, women really notice shoes.: Anyway, I hope this
gives you a few ideas even if you don't agree with my taste.
