Best Daygame Outfit Style?

[Marcellus]

Hey guys,

I was just talking to a friend of mine about this today and I was wanting to get the opinions of others on a certain topic.

' What is the best outfit style that you wear for the most success in day game' or ' What outfit style gets you the best results '.

What I've got in mind is sort of 3 different styles of clothing. One is where it's just a relaxed style of clothing and that's something like wearing a nice shirt, jeans, sneakers and maybe a jacket. Not fully dressing up but just being casual and relaxed.

The second would be something a bit slightly more dressed up. Like boots, jeans, and a button down with a jacket on top if you want. That sort of look if you catch my drift.

And the Third would be very dressed up and almost kind of formal. Like maybe a suit, dress shirt, vest, leather shoes, slacks etc. That sort of fashion

A common theme that kept popping up is that during day game you want to look very normal, kind of blending in. Whereas I think when you're a little dressed up, girls do get a bit more suspicious during your approach. That's why the relaxed style I think would work really well. It would remove all suspicions and would make the approach smoother/more natural, but in that case, you're sort of blending in and being a little like everyone else which I feel is kind of lame because wouldn't you want to stand out and be above the rest of the other guys?

Obviously, I'm going to try out all different styles of dressing up and see which ones get the best receptions/results but... I want to know what works well for you guys and whether you find one way of dressing makes it easier to day game in the city than when you dress another way?

A common theme that kept popping up is that during day game you want to look very normal, kind of blending in. Whereas I think when you're a little dressed up, girls do get a bit more suspicious during your approach.

The key here is general calibration. What you wear should depend on the day, time, location, weather and the type of girl you're hoping to meet.

Pretend you're in the financial district at 5:15PM on a Tuesday. You're hoping to meet some business-y type women who are leaving work. They're likely going to be dressed up so it's totally okay for you be dressed up and wear formal clothing. It will make sense to them.

Pretend you're at the beach at 3:00PM on a Saturday. You wanna meet some hot girls in bikinis. You show up in a suit, walk onto the sand and start talking to girls. This just doesn't make sense. The girls have alarm bells going off in their head. ding ding.

Pretend you're downtown on a Friday at 1:00PM. It's 35 degrees celsius. You don't care who you meet. You're wearing a sweater and jeans and sweating balls. Girls will be suspicious.

You get the point, I hope.

There's also the issue of attainability. If you have amazingly sick style and great fundamentals...no matter whether you have a relaxed, dressed up, or formal outfit on, then you're going to run into attainability problems.

Calibrating what I wear while day gaming has been my #1 struggle and I gravitate towards just 2-3 outfits at the moment depending on who I'm trying to meet. I have been called a hipster before, so that might give you a general idea of how I dress. The vast majority of my clothing is vintage and I love wearing bright clothing with loud patterns, and I also wear a lot of crochet/knitted sweaters. In my niche, I fit right in all the time. It's just not too often that I'm meeting girls in my niche. The majority of the time, I'm meeting average women, and I stick out like a sore thumb to them.

I have this one outfit though, I call it the "REGULAR GUY ON STEROIDS" look. I wear a white shirt tucked into green khakis, with blue boots. Over top of the white shirt I wear a loud as fuck button up from the 90s. I'm practically dressing like a regular guy except with interesting colors and the shirt tucked in. I've been told I look like a character from a 90s TV show while wearing this. I get approach invitations like mad while wearing this in all sorts of situations, from girls in my niche, and from average women. IF I can get more outfits like this, then I'll be set.

Soooooo...yes, it's important to stand out and be above the rest of the other guys. But you don't do it by dressing up. Calibrate your clothing to the situation and your niche then go for amazing style with whatever you're wearing. You'll blend in and look like everyone else but you'll be a step above if you did it right.

Good topic.

I've tried all sorts of styles, and for my money, the most versatile and effective style is casual. Jeans or shorts, sneakers, and T-shirt. It's the least polarizing, so you won't alienate most girls.

It also depends heavily on the environment that you are working in. During the night, when girls are dressed to impress, wearing sexy clothes that really stand out will help you. On the other hand, if were to wear your sexy outfit during the day, you'll often be met with a much more skepticism. You'll give off strong player vibes that can scare off girls. I wear tank tops a lot in the summer, and they get me a lot of attention, but the girls I hit on during the day or more suspicious when I do. I can wear the same outfit to the beach and the suspicion is gone.

Same with really formal business attire. If you are hitting on girls downtown where a lot of the girls are formally dressed, your formal attire will be the most effective. You are essentially "one of them", so you won't be alienated. Having said all that, every style works, but some will be slightly more effective in certain environments.

I just made a thread in Fashion about this.

If you get too stuck into following the rules of GQ, you will look pathetic because everybody is going to see that you read GQ and is trying to mimic them.

This guy:

Will get better results than any of the morons that gets loads of praise in r/malefashionadvice.

P.S. Invest in good shoes, really. The shoes are the only piece of garment that you can never look overdressed with, and as pictured above, they can make really bland outfits fucking cool. Boots and monk/dress shoes in the $150-250 range are to only thing will need.

P.P.S. Lift.

This was very helpful and you guys are right when you say it's all about calibration. You gotta dress for the specific type of girl you're going to meet and the location as well.

I guess what I meant when I wrote this post was how to dress sexy for the largest majority of girls when you're out practicing your cold approach daygame. I'm pretty sure ProblemSolving just hit that nail on the head with the casual look. You don't really alienate any girls and yes, the look is very versatile. And you do sort of blend in and not look like an outsider so everything is that much easier.

And Big Daddy, I definitely disagree with your statement on dressing like a GQ Model. I'm not even sure how you will look pathetic because people think you're mimicking GQ Models. The style of dressing GQ is very sexy, maybe it just doesn't work for YOU.

Keep in mind, dressing casual doesn't mean that you'll blend in and look like everyone else. A big part of getting approach invitations while you're out during the day depends on standing OUT. The biggest ways of grabbing attention are:

- Dress differently than everyone else. Think guy wearing suit on transit. All eyes are on you.

- Height. The taller you are, the more people will unconsciously look at you. This is true for men and women. The next time you see a group of girls walking towards you, who is the first one you look at? It's always the tallest one, even when she's not very attractive. It's instinct.

- Physique. A good physique catches peoples' eyes. This is true for men and women. When your body is attractive, you can wear pretty much anything fitted and it will look good.

- Color. Wear a color that stands out to grab more eyeballs.

I'm in one of the most fashionable cities in the world; this was said to me by multiple women.

Take the advice from Darius who writes for GC or other publications geared becoming a sexy men to women instead of those geared towards impressing other hetero/homosexual men. It's like going around Arnold classic and take advice on how to have a sexy male body.

If that's your niche and it works for you then that's OK, but then again, I say that with the entire city pretty much being the niche.

I'm actually really curious now haha. What do you think I mean when I say dress like a GQ Model Big Daddy?

I think you might be thinking of dressing a certain way or like the guys in your city and I'm thinking of dressing another way. I look forward to seeing you're response
