dress to impress?

[makeithappen]

hello all,

 

do you think dressing up well plays a huge part in getting someone's attention? I mean, in the initial stages, where you really want him/her to become a partner.

 

 

Thanks

i Think it can, but its not what you wear its how you wear it. Dont change styles to impress, then you would not be yourself. If you are a jeans and trainers person then you will selling a dummy by turning up in a white safari suit! Vice versa.

Absolutely. As a woman I like a stylish, well groomed guy. Nothing too fancy but no sneakers, no t shirt and slacks that fit. And squeaky clean.

 

If a guy is fit, clean and well dressed that's 100% magnetic for me. I don't care about him being handsome, height, etc. I like it when a man is aware of the things he can control....it shows social awareness and confidence.

 

We like leaders. If your friends are all dressed 'blah'...raise it a notch. Don't be another cookie cutter one of them. Stand out.

Sneakers are trainers right? No t shirts either. Mine cost a fortune as do my trainers. I feel ive let you down Eau Claire. Maybe its an age thing? I am 32 and am not ready for anything item of clothing that is comfortable yet!

Sort of. I don't think the clothes you wear matter that much. But having a "look" that fits you is huge.

 

The right haircut, makeup (if you're a girl at least but I wouldn't judge), the right style of clothes - when everything is done just right it makes a big difference. Every time I've gone to Europe for work I've always been floored at how good both the men and women there are at maintaining an image.

 

Think about it this way - your best image draws attention to your positive traits. Do you have nice eyes? Get contacts and don't wear glasses that cover your eyes. Want to look thinner, wear clothes that fit you well and aren't baggy. Are you an athlete? Wear sweats/gym shoes - even if its a messy look it complements your identity. Are you not an athlete? Stop wearing gym shoes and don't dress like one. Are you someone who's professional life is tied to your identity? Go places in business casual. Everything about you taken together, personality appearance etc. is your identity. Have an identity.

 

Instead of thinking about what you wear, think about cultivating your image.

Always dress to impress. Women will definitely notice.

True.

 

My boyfriend is from Montreal. When we visit his family it is so great to walk the streets and be among well dressed people. It's as if a new color has been invented and the world is brighter... visually pleasing.

 

Haydn..I assumed the poster is male, but not sure. I don't think he is trying to impress you unless he is gay. Feel free to wear sneakers. Nobody has to do anything. Some guys just make the effort to dress to impress a new woman or to please their current one.

I notice when someone makes an effort to look nice, definitely.

[Biscous]

The girl I'm seeing right now definitely noticed my style a few months before she even started to talk to me.

 

You may not get compliments all the time but people notice and treat you differently for dressing well.

 

Plus I like dressing well for that confidence boost.

I have been known to `suit up`. But my GF prefers me in trainers and low waisted or skinny jeans.

 

Be among well dressed people, in London that can mean many different things.

 

During London fashion week when my work is most hectic the amount of designers that have a completely different look is amazing.

 

Think i said before that `mix and match` can usually cater for most.

 

A suit with trainers, very `trainspotting`. Kickers or desert boots with jeans, a must on weekends! (If a night out is in the offing).

 

I am not so shallow when it comes to clothes so please excuse my vigour here.

 

I lounge around quite often in shapeless but hugely comfortable joggers and an old REM t shirt.

An ensemble that favors your physique and attitude will do more for you initially than putting on an unfitted coat, shirt and tie when you'd be more comfortable in jeans, flip flops and a tee.

 

Don't lead with a lie.

[d0nnivain]

Clothes do make a statement. What do you want to say initially? I don't think it's so much how much you spend but whether you took the time to look well put together & appropriate for the event / situation.

 

 

I read a book about meeting people & dating. The 1st recommendation was that you bath regularly, especially before a date. I found it rather sad that somebody had to write that down like there were people who didn't know this.

Wear stuff that compliments your body type and more specifically, your best features.
