Fashion is one of those things that is quite often overlooked. But, even when it is focused upon, it can produce a lot of issues. What do I wear, and when? You may be asking yourself. Look no further; this may clear up that question.
Fashion is something that I'd always sort of been interested in, but it wasn't until around a year ago that I started to take it more seriously. Fashion is basically a part of your being; it speaks volumes to people around you, even though you may not realize it. The idea is to look good in the clothes you are wearing, but only dress slightly up for the occasion.
In numbered format,
1) Look good in the clothes you are wearing. Make sure they fit.
2) Dress slightly up for the occasion.
Most times, if you follow number 1, number 2 is going to simply fall in place. Wearing a nice fitting t-shirt with some excellent jeans while out and about is going to make you look dressed slightly up; add in a nice pair of shoes, a belt, and perhaps a cool looking necklace and/or watch, and you are looking sharp. Making sure your dress shirts fit, in addition to a few gadgets and matching colors is going to set you volumes higher than the next guy in the business meeting.
It's something that takes a little time to get used to (especially if you are colorblind!). But you can really revamp most of your wardrobe in a few weeks. For those of you who like seeing examples, here's a typical go-to-class/approach wardrobe for me:
- Nice-fitting white deep-v t-shirt with a little bit of length to it
- Some nice raw denim grey/indigo jeans
- Dark-red leather boots
- Dark-red leather belt
Sorta James Dean inspired look - sometimes women say I look like him. Because of the clothes no doubt, I look nothing like him. I like things simple, clean, and cut. I do have colors in my wardrobe, but I make do with what I have. I've found that the key to getting the ideal clothes is to either splurge a little bit on clothing. Aim for the stuff that has a good reputation for lasting a good time if you're investing in jeans/boots.

- Look good in the clothes you're wearing. As Chase always says, make sure they fit.
- Dress for the occasion. You come into auto-rejection problems when you are dressed for a business meeting and approach a girl wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt.
- Look slightly better than everyone else. If all the guys around are wearing large t-shirts that don't fit and baggy jeans, and you have nice fitting jeans and a nice-fitting t-shirt, then you are perfect.
- Splurge a little bit on purchases. The higher quality stuff costs more. Try for offbeat, but somewhat popular brands in the mid-upper price range. Specialty retailers are always a plus; they know what they are doing!
