25 Biggest Fashion Mistakes - for GUYS

I want to start by saying that I don’t believe you need to be an expert in fashion to be good at pick up, I just happen to like fashion. In fact I really like fashion. Perhaps this negatively effects my male polarity although I don’t really care. I’m intentionally trying to sound like a bit of a snob just because I find that men are like concrete when it comes to changing their style.Women change their hair colour, personal styling, seasonal clothes and image all the time. And they say you can always tell the best years of a man’s life, he’s still got the haircut. I do recommend that men do total styles change every 12 months if not for the improvement simply for the feel good factor. The amount of times I’ve totally changed my appearance and picked up that night is beyond me, try it sometime.25 Biggest Fashion Mistakes:

(1) Generic – looking too much like everyone else – in places like the US due to so many big department store monopolies and franchises it takes real effort to find the small little designers and fashion houses where you will buy the cool stuff that makes you have social value. If you are wearing the same clothes you wore 1 to 2 years ago then more than likely you have no sense of fashion.

(2) Not wanting to stand out and be different - a conscious choice you are making to avoid self-consciousness – all the more hot girls for me. Especially stronger in smaller towns and cities because the social pressure to conform is much higher. You’ll understand what I mean if you travel to a small mining town, everybody looks the same through fear of group abandonment, in a bigger city there is less risk.

(3) Standing out in the wrong way – OMG I’ve been clubbing lately and I can see these guys trying to peacock and they look totally retarded!! Flashing lights on their belt, a suit like the green guy from the Mask, $2 sunglasses; this stuff may get you opened but you aren’t getting laid because you look like a total nerd and girls would be embarrassed to associate with you.

(4) Not shopping enough – go shopping once or twice a week and don’t buy anything. Take a girl or two and get used to understanding trends and not making impulse buying decisions. Try heaps of clothes on, ask for suggestions and try stuff you’d never usually wear. Ask the female shop assistants to pick you outfits to co-ordinate together.

(5) Not having a shopping planning list and budget plan – not many have massive amounts of cash to splash on clothes so you’ve got to buy smart. Plan for outfits and buy clothes in capsules like 3 x pants, 2 x shirts, 2 x knits, 2 x shoes, 2 x jackets, and you have 50 different outfits. Buying odds and ends without a smart plan is expensive and a waste of money.Calculate how time you spend in certain activities and adjust your budget accordingly:- Work = hours a week divided by 168- Socialising = hours per week divided by 168- Exercising = hours per week divided by 168- Home time = hours per week divided by 168- Sleep = hours per week divided by 168

(6) Looking more like the guys from “Happy Days” than the guys from “The OC”. What girls want to date a guy with a boring haircut? Do not get cheap hair cuts. In Australia the fashion for young men is to have slightly longer hair fairly spiked with some streaks with hold gel and the hair angling forward and sideways. And surprise surprise nearly every 10 I see is with a guy with that style. If you are thin shave it, and if you even slightly resemble a Christian missionary then you need to get wild. And don’t try to have a boring conservative haircut and make it wild with gel and a Mohawk please!

(7) Not understanding the influences of your sense of style – your image says everything about you anybody needs to know – by looking at you for 10 seconds I can tell when you last got laid, how innocent you are, what your friends are like, how much money you have and what your confidence level is. Appreciate that you may be totally hopeless. Accept that. Get some independent advice. Let’s just say that if you buy the latest copy of FHM and read the styling section and you think to yourself “that’s totally terrible no way am I wearing that” then you probably have your head up your arse on fashion.Where you are right now in your fashion and style is a direct reflection of your influences to this point. How much time do you spend with your family? I can tell. What magazines do you read? I cant tell. I’d warn against being a fashion victim and relying on the media too much however I’ve met few men who do so. Maybe gay men, do however when you go to a gay bra the men are just too “perfectly” groomed, you’ve got to have some man about you.

(8) Having shit shoes – okay so my shoes are made of crocodile skin and girls open me and tell me they like my shoes – it’s a winner. Polish your shoes, buy new laces, get new heels put on them, replace them often.

(9) Not being able to pull off super casual – fashion isn’t all about expensive clothing and dressing up because some of the most telling signs of someone’s fashion sense is when they wear shorts and a t-shirt, or tracksuit pants and a sweater. Most of the time when you get a girlfriend you will be in lazy gear and you’ve still got to be able to look good. Small shorts, ugly socks, bad coloured board shorts and t-shirts with holes in them will cause you to repel women like you have polio.


(10) If you are slightly larger than you either (a) realise you are (b) were 6 months ago © or want to be – wear clothes that fit!! Sure you may have been 78kg 5 years ago, but don’t still try to wear those pants! Get with reality, buy a bigger pair. Get a jacket, it will slim you. BUY CLOTHES THAT FIT.

(11) Throw everything out of your closet if you won’t wear it for a certain time – like 12 months – have an efficient, well managed wardrobe and feel good about donating to charity.

(12) Thinking you know everything and you know style – I personally have an image consultant, a fashion designer as a friend, a friend runs a modeling agency and heaps of female friends who I go shopping with and get advice from, and I think I know a bit about fashion. It’s kind of a throw back to the days when men chased elephants with stone knives, men have confidence, sometimes it’s misplaced.

(13) Not getting daily compliments on your clothes and thinking that is normal - its not – girls are looking at your clothes 24/7, that includes your wife or girlfriend, and they will go out of their way to compliment you if you look good.

(14) Bad minors like underwear and socks – I don’t even want to discuss how much women notice and how little attention men pay to this.

(15) Not having a style icon – you want to have a personal style – it might be 1930s, it might be Johnny Depp, or Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom or it might be Boho (bohemian). You don’t have to copy anyone, I mean be yourself, however it’s a great way of being inspired.

(16) It hurts me to write this however – if you do any the following then find a tall building and ah hem jump off immediately - Socks with Sandals, Novelty Ties, Shirts, Boxer Shorts, Etc., Blaring Designer Labels, Backpacks at the Office, Chunky Shoes, Shiny or Glittery Shirts and Suits, Clothes That Are Too Loose Fitting, Unflattering Colors, Too many colors, Too many patterns, Too many fabrics, Stained clothes, Dressing for the wrong season, Pants that are too long or too short, Pants that sit too high (aka Tony Robbins how can a guy so intelligent wear his pants so high??), T-shirts that are too long or too short, "Busy" T-shirts, Wrinkled button-downs, Ties that hang awkwardly, Missing a spot when you shave, Sporting a unibrow, Never wear a short sleeve shirt with a tie, Never wear both a belt and braces, Socks should match your trousers , white socks with dress shoes, wearing hand held devices on your belt like a mobile phone, over layering, Belts should match your shoes, Ponytails, Too much cologne, Funky facial hair, Too much jewelry, Comb-overs, Fashion trends that don’t suit you, sneakers with jeans (like not cool diesel trainers I’m talking about like ASICS running shoes like Jerry Seinfield with jeans, omg if you do this then give up getting laid in your lifetime, you lucked out), body odour, shocking finger nails or toe nails, too tight jeans like from the 70s or 80s, having a part in your hair, dark dress socks with shorts, Black shoes with tan pants, watches the size of small computers, clip-on ties, pocket protectors, pens in your chest pocket of a business shirt, greasy hair, wispy facial hair.

(17) Eyebrows – I pay a lady who does nothing but trim eye brows for a living, she turns it into art form, it costs me about $50 and since I started with her girls have been complimenting me on my eyes. If you’ve got poorly trimmed eye brows, especially if you have hair in between the middle, then you are wasting your time sarging.

(18) Tanning or should I say bad tanning – a tan looks great just don’t do tanning badly. Don’t look like an old wallet, yellow like your liver has stopped working or burn the skin under your eyes. Tan smart and less is more.

(19) Stop worrying about fashion when they get married or get a girlfriend – she’s looking at what you wearing every single day fellas!

(20) A beer gut or pot belly – genetically men are designed to store fat around their mid section in early 30s because in the cave times they were less likely to be able to chase wild animals for food so they needed some insurance. There is no excuse for it in 2007.

(21) Too much body hair – chest hair can be sexy, back hair is disgusting and if you look like wolf man when going to the beach you need to consider waxing.(22) Watching a television shows like Beverly Kills 90210 or something from the 70s, 80s or 90s and realising you have a similar style of clothing in your cupboard.

(23) Bad teeth – what can I say? If you look like you could eat an apple through a tennis racket or they are yellow, sort it out!


(24) Not buying at least 2 magazines a month with fashion styling – in Australia Men’s Style and FHM are the bare minimum.

(25) Poor hygiene – what can I say, a disgusting bedroom, bad breath, underarm stains, smelly socks, a dirty bathroom, filthy car, nuff said.
