How To Succeed With Women

The Four Rules of Clothing

Most men are “clothes blind”. They don’t see dirt in the same way women do, and they don’t think about style as much. Here are the basic rules about clothes that men need to learn.

First and foremost, clothes must fit well! It doesn’t matter how great a shirt is if it looks ill-fitting. It doesn’t matter how much a pair of pants has been marked down if it pulls into pronounced “starfish” shape where the legs meet the crotch. Simple clothing that fits well is far better than fancier clothing that just “doesn’t look right”.

If you are interested in pursuing a casual ragged, torn-up clothing look, proper fitting is the difference between looking sexy and looking like a slob. Next time you see a man or a woman who looks great in the torn-up style, notice how well the clothes fit them. You’ll notice they fit perfectly, which is why the style works.

Some clothing stores are better for the average man than are others. If you are a bit overweight, some of the more hip and upscale stores may not have clothes that fit you well. Very often one store will have an entire line of pants, for instance, that don’t fit you well. It’s just the way their clothes are cut. Another store, on the other hand, might have a wide variety of pants that fit you. It’s a good idea to keep shopping around until you find a store where the clothes fit, they look good, and the salespeople help you expand your style.

How do you know when clothes don’t fit well? Often, the salespeople will tell you, though you can’t count on that. The men you are shopping with can also tell you. The bottom line is simply this: if you don’t feel that the clothes fit, they don’t. Don’t waste your money, and move on to the next piece.

The second rule of clothing is that clothes must be clean! Because most men are “clothes blind”, and can’t seem to tell when clothes need laundering, let’s briefly go over how you know when it’s time to wash something.

- If it’s underwear, and you’ve worn it more than once, wash it.
- For shirts and pants, you can be more discriminating. To tell if shirts and pants are dirty, look at them under bright light. Are there any spots of stains? If there are, rub the spot with stain remover, and wash. Pants also need laundering when they start to get baggy and wrinkled. Blue jeans are especially susceptible to stretching and getting baggy. When this happens, it’s time to wash them.

The third rule of clothing is that clothes shouldn’t be wrinkled! Yes, you might have to iron your shirts and pants, or have them ironed. Think about it: you are more attracted to women who are wearing clothes that aren’t wrinkled and sloppy. Women are no different. Of course, not all clothes need ironing, but if you want to send a message to attractive women that you are the kind of man they want, ironing may be required. Having your shirts and pants laundered professionally is also a possibility for men who can afford it and don’t want to iron.

The fourth rule of clothing is that you must keep clothing in good repair! Look under “Seamstress” in the local Yellow Pages, and get buttons sewed back on, holes patched and rips mended right away.

Wearing clean, well-fitting, ironed clothes that are in good repair has multiple benefits. Not only do you look good, you also feel good. Your style of dressing will naturally send out the message to women that you are attractive, together, and of interest to her.
