clothes do women really care

[joe45]

u hear that the way a guy dresses can make a woman want the guy even more-true or not.
well for me clothes these days are $$$-i tend to buy some clothes from old navy, wal-mart, zellers, cheap places -hey at least they are new, as i can't afford anything too expensive like name nbrands-tommy, dkny, and even sport brands like nike, puma, fila.... can be quite pricey for me.
I remember is HS everyone wore nice and name brand clothes-except for me and maybe a couple of other kids and now in college still same thing-but maybe alittle bit better. yea embarassing times during my school yrs.
well do women really care about the way a guy dresses, the clothes i have are quite new but nothing name brandish just shirts, short, jeans..... plain stuff of clothes. if the gal i like and most gals i now dress in nice brandish kind of clothes would she date a guy that dressed in "not so in fashion" or the no so brandish clothes. just askin
i think i even had a gal talk to her other friend about ewwww look at the way he dresses he wears red ... something like that

umm k, well I'm not a girl...but everyone knows that it does matter ...especially to girls.

If you just thought about it logically....women love clothes...and another logical statement....its the first impression....get it? People see one anther daily...always in clothes, and many judge by a persons appearance whether they'll admit it or not. We don't walk around naked....so clothes are the way you are judged w/o speaking to the person. It's just your style....but don't dwell on it too much. I have heard one thing tho...that women always look at a guy's shoes first when judging appearance...that true?

This would differ from girl to girl.
But i think generally, if your clothes look smart then i don't think the brand or anything really matters.

It honestly doesn't matter if you wear expensive clothes. I mean I love to wear designer stuff, but as far as guys go, if you look clean, neat and composed I couldn't care less how much you spent on it. Some girls look at it as an indication of how much money you have. That's the only way they would really care if you spent a lot on clothes or not.

Just stick to stuff that looks nice. Nice, clean, not wrinkled clothes. A nice pair of jeans or khakis with a nice casual button down shirt is always nice. Polos always look good as well. Usually t-shirts and regular long sleeve shirts are ok, as long as they are clean, fit well and are approriate. To a certain extent women judge men based on clothes..because we're subconsciously thinking about introducing you to our friends and family- we want to be proud to have you with us. Just take pride in your appearance..expensive clothes aren't essential if you choose the correct inexpensive ones.

Girls definitely look at shoes. But its not like you have to have prada shoes, unless the girl is look at them as an indication of how much money you have. They just have to be clean, nice looking and fashionable. And you can find inexpensive shoes like that.

If you dress well you're fine. It's not the name it's the style, at least in my case. I'm kind of anti name brand though. I prefer guys who know how to dress neatly rather than ones who have to have the latest in designer names. I mean that's wasted money IMO. I'd rather live in a nicer house, drive a nicer car than wear something that has someone elses name on it.

TBH, I hate brand stuff. I personally feel they are exactly what fashion is not, if that makes sense. For example, I think people with little or no fashion sense think "I'll just buy some £100 shirt, it's bound to look good", but in reality, you can pick up shirts that look much better, for like £5, if look in the right shops.
I consider myself to be fairly metrosexual, and I believe I can usually spot what looks good and what doesn't. The other day, a friend said to me "How do you afford all your clothes, you must of spent hundreds of £'s on clothes", but in reality, in the last year, i've probably spent £100 max, probably a lot less than that.
I believe the key is too avoid over-priced brand names, and instead go to fashion shops, you've probably walked past and thought "That shops too stylish/expensive for me" or something, but usually if you go in, things arnt as expensive as the popular brand names, mainly because not alot of people buy them (few knew they probably exist), and the shop will only have limited stock, which they will have on sale, due to them not selling.
The other day I bought 3 pairs of very stylish jeans, all reduced from between £30-£60, all for about £3-£5 each, simply because they wern't selling, and they were bringing in new styles.
In conclusion, don't worry about brand names, because they are just over-priced clothes that people with little fashion sense buy, just to show off (no offence to anyone that does this). A plain white shirt, which will cost like next to nothing will probably look just as good with certain pairs of jeans etc.

I think as long as his clothes are clean and not incredibly out of style, like Sheyda says, it's fine. I've dated guys who were broke, and basically owned only a few pairs of jeans, and a couple of shirts. It's really the guy inside that counts. True, girls like clothes, but we mostly like OUR clothes. If a girl won't date you because you don't wear TommyH or Nike, then she's not the type of woman you want to be with anyways.

I like a guy whose fashion reflects who he is as a person. That sense takes time to develop (you have to know what looks good on you as well as what you like, and you can`t be a fashion slave or victim), but it sure as heck doesn`t take any money.

The stores you mentioned are great, and there`s also the vintage clothing stores, good old Goodwill, and your parents` boxes of stuff in the attic.

Here in Tokyo, fashion is a big deal. It`s most people`s primary form of self-expression. Guys and women are really, really into fashion, and with good reason. Personally, I have a LOT more fun when I wear what I feel like, of course keeping in mind the necessary constraints of T-P-O (Time, Place, and Opportunity)...I`m not going to wear a string bikini to an academic conference, but I might wear a paisley velvet pantsuit.

When six of my former students from Tokyo came to visit me in Seattle in the 90`s, the second stop (after the tattoo/ piercing parlor) was Goodwill. They bought 8 Hefty bags full of clothes. I met one of the girls last year and she said she still wears the stuff every day. and has had offers from people to buy various items from her, and she never could have afforded to dress that cool if she hadn`t come to visit me, since vintage imported stuff in Japan is outrageously expensive. So, here`s my advice. Be who you are, wear what you like, show who you are through what you wear. A girl who likes you will be able to find you better that way.

I think that cool, down-to-earth girls are going to look straight through the materialistic things like how you dress. However, girls who are very much into fashion will probably be on the lookout for guys who feel the same way. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's probably best if you stick within your league.

I think there are a couple of faux-pas moves that will turn just about any woman away though:

- Dirty clothes.

- When guys wear their jeans below their butt, and are only held up by a belt. Any guy over the age of 17 should know better.

- Huge, oversized pants that drag on the ground and are all frayed. Looks dirty and sloppy.

I'm not usually attracted to the pretty-boy type. Which IMO, could be classified as someone who spends more money on clothes than me! Old Navy is one of my all-time favorite stores of my time. not too expensive but still stylish.
