Well... basically by posting on this forum, I can bet women already think this about you. If you look at the state of the average north american man (Dont know about europe...never been), they tend to have a jeans, running shoes, and any ol shirt complex. Women notice alot more than you credit them for. Want to stick out in a good way?

1. Cut hair. Conservative, and often (every 3 weeks)
2. Trim nails. They dont need to be perfect (jerk nails), just CLEAN (very important)
3. Smell nice. Axe deo or Ralph Lauren Double Black cologne.... as long as its not B.O, theyre happy.
4. Never wear running shoes, unless you are, in fact, running.
5. Every nice shirt you own, whether its 20 bucks or a 300 dollar gucci, have it tailored. They wont notice its tailored. They will notice it looks good.

Follow these tips... youll be in the top 10% well dressed. Then check the local WAYRN thread, or blogs like TheSartorialist for inspiration. have fun.

Dude, you live in Oregon. Get yourself some Pendleton shirts and be done with it.

You are probably not old enough to remember those anti-litter commercials staring the American Indian but reading your post made me shed a tear.

Get past branding and advertising. Develop your own sense of style, figure out what works for you and enjoy.

Which cologne is good? Pick what smells good to you. Good to Sephora and smell them.

Whatever you pick though, keep it subtle. There's nothing worse than too much cologne. Regardless of anything to say, do or wear, having too much cologne will make it all suck.


...stating the obvious.

Then you don't need anything with logos on, you just need stuff that looks good.

Then you certainly don't want anything with a logo on.
