Being style forum approved does not equal being woman approved.

To further explain... 1) Dressing ridiculously well is something you do because you enjoy it. That's it. 2) Hardly anyone will even begin to understand just how well dressed you are. A man or woman might very well think someone else wearing a well-fitting certain style of clothing is better dressed than you, who might be wearing something far superior, with an even more superior fit. To be considered well-dressed is to wear clean, non-dirty, well-fitting clothes in the eyes of the general public. The extra stuff will likely only very rarely be noticed. 3) If you're doing this for women, you're on the wrong forum. If you want more women to notice you, well, dress sort of like a rockstar without going too far. Have a cool, non-professional haircut, wear edgy clothes in an edgy way, wear interesting colors, wear interesting jewelery without going overboard. Dress like Johnny Depp minus 50 percent if you want women. Dress like Russell Brand minus 50% if you want women. Thank you for your time. This thread was inspired by the thread, "The fine line between dressing like an old man and a sharp GQ/Esquire guy." NOTE: EDIT: One final thing I should mention is that being style forum approved does equal woman approved if she's seeking a safe, upstanding husband for marriage. In this case, woo her with your merits and not your sex appeal. Once again, thank you.

Lol. It's a great color, am I right?

For every generalization about 'what women want', there is a whole swath of women who say they absolutely loathe it.


You're right. You can't say, "Women are like this," and be right every time. But they're more generalizable than you might think.

This is a posting work-around of a link above that doesn't seem to work. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyway I thought this was appropriate for those interested in "women approved" style. Here

Dressing in this manner demonstrates to women that a man has confidence and individuality, and thus a higher status, than the Dockers and button down masses.

If interpreted too conservatively, the classic style can be awfully boring and fuddy-duddy, which I'm sure is not attractive to many women-particularly not the kind I aim to attract.

. Fortunately, with a little effort and imagination and some experimentation, it's not difficult to add a lot of panache to your classic looks.


The SF's approved style ,flannel suits,double-breasted suits and so on are not remotely attractive to women...

They like designer Gucci like sharp suits with nice shirts...

We might find that crazy but I used to receive a lot of compliments when I was wearing designer suits than now I'm wearing beautifully crafted bespoke suits..

Believe a tie with a Versace logo is more attractive to women than any 7 fold Rubinacci tie...

I think that OP wants to branch out beyond whores and strippers, though.

I don't know, maybe branch out beyond sluts. Whores and strippers are at least hard workers and compensated accordingly.

Even a Kiton or a Brioni?

I thought they were to be avoided like the plague...
