We all know the dressing regimen of most guys here in America:
1. Grab a random shirt.
2. Grab a pair of jeans (who cares if they are clean...)
3. Lace up the same pair of sneakers that are worn every day.
As hot as you guys are now, with a little style boost you have potential to be even hotter (no bench-pressing required).
We understand that some guys are afraid of dressing well, in fear of being called "gay" or "a tool". Let it be known throughout the world that girls do not equate "dressing well" with "being gay". When a girl sees a well-put-together guy, she doesn't think "He's definitely gay." Contrary to popular belief, the first thing that crosses her mind is "Ooh. Sexaaay." *insert catcall here*. Yes, it is on the inside that counts, but your style should reflect your personality. You dont have to change yourself for your style, but change your style for yourself.
*Here are some tips, looks, and stores to try out:
(Keep in mind that these are general categories, and just as a guideline! Don't be afraid to try your own thing!)
Athletic Guy: (And chances are you already have some of theses pieces)
- Basketball Sneakers
- Casual Tee
- Basketball shorts or just some jeans
- Favorite hat!
-Maybe a sports jacket ( football jack for example)
TIP: Keeping colors in the same color palette will help you look more put together, but with little effort! (And by not clashing purple, orange, and every other color under the sun...save our eye sight!)
Some Stores: Hollister, American Eagle, Abricromie, Finish Line, Olympia, even Marshalls and TJMaxx have great sales!
(this picture is a little more Preppy, but we felt like the sweatshirt worked)
(^or these...but not at the same time^)
(Notice how we stuck with 2 main brighter colors, then paired them with black and white, which are basic colors)
Alternative/Skater Guy: Pretty straight forward: darker colors, skinny or straight-leg jeans, boarding shorts, trucker/ flat-rim hat or slouchy beanie, Vans, Converse, high-tops, etc, and...... Graphic/V-Necks/Band tees! <----- for a little personality!
TIP: This look is generally darker, but a bright colored tee every once in a while is a cool change.
Stores to try: Pac Sun, Zumiez, Hot Topic, Yes-Style (which is a collection of Asian brands)
Euro/Artistic Guy: ^ Can blend somewhat with "Alternative", but basically Simplistic but well-put-together! You want to look like you care, but just enough.
Basic V-Neck or tee
Dark wash jeans (new trend: extra zippers/buttons/pockets= optional!)
Flat bottomed sneakers, biking boots
Leather Jacket or structured jacket
Slouchy hat
Scarves (we think America's ready for guys in scarves...)
Tip: A dog-tag necklace is a cool understated piece that looks great with a plane white V-Neck
Stores: Urban Outfitters, Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, Yes-Style, Marshalls, Pac Sun.
Casual/Everyday Guy:
Not as easy to "categorize", just some left over pieces that will work well together!
Work boots, straight-leg jeans, any tee (Graphic, V-Neck, collared or button down shirts), favorite sweatshirt
(Can't forget Charlie Sheen...)
