I keep up with current fashion trends and I have been to many fashion trade shows since one of my businesses is in the trade show display industry. I am very critical of myself first before giving anyone any fashion advice. Just my disclaimer :-)

Your overall look isn't too bad. It is kind of plain and makes you blend in to the crowd. Designer jeans tells a girl you know your ish, especially if they are style conscious...which most of 8,9's and 10 are. (7forallmankind, Rock & Republic, Diesel, G-Star, True Religion). Jeans can also become a topic of conversation...almost like peacocking. Then when she brings it up, you down play it..

The Black Shirt is cool. To levelup: Look for a nice Grey vest. Check out John Varvatos @ Nordstrom.

Accessorize:
Try some silver chain-linked bracelet on the right wrist and a nice watch on the left wrist. Accessorize. Have something that can become noticeable and possibly a topic of conversation. Suggestions? If you have some money to spend check out David Yurman. Awesome & masculine looking jewelry. If you want to keep it conservative, check out your local jewelry shops at the Mall. I am sure you will find something you will like.

Shoes: Nice. Check out: Mark Nason Shoes http://www.marknason.com
Great way to stand out - by default!!!
fierce,
What do you think of Lucky jeans? Kind of my go to brand these days, but I have no idea if they carry the same weight as 7's or Diesels, etc

The fit looks straight, but the colors don't match. You should always match the shirt with the shoes (color-wise). Dark Timbs would looks better than the brown one's you are wearing, shoes are what girls notice first (think about how long they take when they go shopping for shoes).

Shirt : Go to stores like Express , Armani and Guess...these all have similar styles to the one you're wearing but way better quality.

Upper body accessory: Look for sleeve-less black leather vests with or without hoodie. They usually add a biker-masculine character to your entire outfit.

Arms: You're hella white man, if you were to get the right tattoos (that mean something to you) that will definitely get the attention of a lot of girls (they will act as hooks to reel women into initiating conversations with you, ''hey what does your tat mean"?) Girls are attracted to tats. period.

Wrists: A nice watch, silver guess watches aren't so expensive and go well with everything. Black/Gold metal works also ( from my experience black/yellow (gold) gets girl's attention WAY more than Silver).
You'll actually get complimented on your watch if its black and yellow, even if you thought the Silver guess watch was nicer. ( have a girl go with you to pick out a nice black/gold watch) (good date idea :) .

Pants: Go for dark since your skin is white, that way whatever you wear on your wrists stands out more, and her attention wont be as drawn to your pants.

Shoes: Black Sway Timberlands...spend the money on some nice boots, preferably if they add an inch or so to your height, girls are attracted to taller men ( they think height is correlated to dick size, totally ignorant but true).

Smell: this is more important than anything you're wearing, smell good. Aqua D Gio by Armani works. I have yet to try others, so far that cologne is GOLD! (I've gotten compliments when I wear it).

Also, don't be scared to try on something completely UNATTRACTIVE! And ridiculous, see how your vibe changes and how women's receptivity change when you approach them and run your opener. Not always looking sharp is the best option, women are really insecure creatures, if she thinks that you think you're hotter than her, you're going to have a harder time.

If your game is tight and she's hotter than you, she'll feel more secure. She'll feel that if she has sex with you it'll be less likely that you'll go run to another girl. This is why you see some incredibly hot women with ugly guys. You have a better chance being regular and going for HB9's and 10's than if you were to dress to impress and go for regular and or hotter women.

If by your presence she feels you took too long to get ready, she'll think you're too feminine for her. You want to come off as if you're not trying to impress her or dressing to go out and pick up girls ( suite with t-shirt under and shiny jewelry no no ).

I see a lot of solid advice here, but I'd like to take this in a slightly different direction. I hate the pants and the shoes. But that's because it isn't my style.

First, what kind of girls do you want to attract? If you like the high class business type women who are always on the go, i suggest a good suit. Don't even have to get too expensive, just make sure it fits well. A well fitted cheap suit will always look better than an ill fitted expensive suit.

Same goes with almost any other type of clothing too.

The way you dress and accessorize is what's called your "avatar". I like to attract women that I have something in common with, so I dress accordingly. I have a very understated kind of style that is more function than looks. A black dress shirt (like the one you're wearing) a pair of black or dark blue jeans and a pair of black shoes. When I'm going out, they're dress shoes. When I'm running errands or just at a bar with friends, black tennis shoes that look kinda like dress shoes. The jeans are pretty cheap. I don't buy name brand stuff because they fade anyway over time and I hate having two seperate closets. I'm really big on everything being functional. That's my avatar. It's the way that I want to present myself. The only thing I spend big money on is cologne. Dude, you can never get a bottle of cologne that smells too good. Do some research on that shit, find out what works best with your natural body scent. The armani collection is really good, but I really like oldspice body sprays too.

So think about the kind of girls you want. Do you want hip hop chicks? Get a gold chain and a huge gold watch. Do you want hipster chicks? Do whatever it is that hipsters do. Do you want a club girl? Go all out and be stylish. Everyone here has a different style, but they all look good.

Oh, also make sure you're dressed in something that you FEEL like you look good in. It's actually more important than looking good IMO.

Good advise from the other guys. I personally do not like the pants and shoes. Designer pants would look much better with that shirt I think. Also some nice leather shoes would look good.

Accessories: I would not go overboard, but a necklace, watch, ring, or and combo of those would look good. Have DHV stories for accessories you get. Also, when I travel, that is when I like to get a new ring, necklace, or pendant. If they ask, I can go strait into DHV about my trip.

I've noticed girls like vague necklaces, like arrowheads, unusual symbols, etc. Theyll often ask about them, bracelets are okay, and wallet chains give a little bit of an edge that girls seem to like.
