When describing their dream man, most ladies list the typical qualities they look for, such as handsome, funny, and compassionate. A quality many women search for but do not admit to, however, is well dressed. It is almost embarrassing to admit to liking a well dressed fellow because it appears silly and shallow. I, on the other hand, am not ashamed to admit that how a guy dresses is important to me, and I know that there are many girls in this school like myself. So, fellas, if impressing the ladies is something you strive to do, listen up. Here are some styling tips that are woman-approved and, never fear, socially acceptable.
A huge hit that has already made many appearances at CHS is bright colors. Whether is be bright blue pants or light pink shorts, these articles add contrast to any simple outfit. If you’re not one for the lime-light and being conspicuous, subtle additions to your wardrobe have the same effect. Adding deep purple to your wardrobe instead of black can make all the difference. A trend that hasn’t quite made its way to Cookeville yet is texture and pattern combinations. If your old striped tee is just not cutting it, try throwing a flannel button up over it. The same old denim getting you down? Try pin-striped or corduroys. Popular this fall and winter is layering. Adding a blazer, vest, or cardigan spices up any simple outfit. Pairing a collared shirt with a sweater is a great way to keep warm while remaining classy. Oh, and flip flops are never acceptable.
So next time you’re getting dress, step out of your comfort zone and try something new! Women will swoon.
