You just left
a first date thinking you had chemistry off the charts and more importantly
believing that you had met the women of your dreams. Yet, the next few days proved this feeling was false when
you had started noticing tell tale signs such as her one worded texts and her 8
hour delayed response. Unfortunately, it could have been that her crazy ex
boyfriend came back in the picture, or the chemistry wasn’t mutual. But what if
it was something you were unaware of that made her head for the hills? More
specifically, what if you unintentionally committed a fashion sin? Listen
closely because I’m going to provide you with rejection-proof style
tips to woo her on a second date.
TIP #1 DARK DENIM
DAYS
It’s all about denim for first dates. Remember to leave the suit and tie
and khakis at work. Go for a dark denim in either a slim or straight fit. look.

TIP #2 HELLO SWANKY SHOES
It’s no secret that
every woman and any well-dressed man are pretty much obsessed with shoes. It’s
the one thing that can make or break your look. Leave your flip-flops or ratty
sneakers for the beach and flag football, and invest a nice pair of dress
shoes, brogues loafers or desert boots. Here

TIP #3 GOOD BYE PATTERN DRESS SHIRTS
When it comes to
impressing a women you don’t want to look like your mom dressed you for the
junior high dance. Nothing screams this more than stripes. I recommend if you
do go with a dress shirt choose a solid color. Choose a color that compliments your overall skin tone and
hair color. If your not one to wear color, stick to neutral colors like white,
grey, or blue. If your not in the mood for a dress shirt, I recommend choosing
a solid color v-neck or crew neck because it allows for layering with jackets,
blazers, or sweaters. Here are links to
get this style:
Slim Oxford Shirt at Forever 21 for $15.80
Shirt with Contrast Ribbon Neckline at Zara $59.90
Relaxed Fit T-Shirt at Zara $15.90
Structured Sweater at Zara $35.90
Tip #4 IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SOCKS
Lets face it socks
are more important than you think.
You can have a great overall look from head to toe, but if your socks
don’t match your outfit it can be a fashion killer. Wearing mismatched socks,
running socks, or socks in colors that don’t blend with your outfit sends the
message you’re your not dressed to impressed which then lets her know you don’t
care. Paying attention to these details will be the difference between going on
a second date.

TIP #5 KEEP IT SIMPLE WITH AN EDGE
The key to putting
together any outfit or developing style is sticking to the basics but adding an
edge or what I frequently call a “wow factor,” something that is going to get you noticed yet
mark your style. HOW YOU CAN DO THIS: Sticking with the
basic conservative style of dark denim and a dress shirt( v-neck or crew shirt) and then adding or replacing one of the
current factors that make up this look to give off an edgier vibe. This can be
something as simple as replacing the standard dress shirt with a brighter color
dress shirt that is trending, wearing a leather jacket, wearing a tag necklace,
or sporting a trendy watch. Here are
links to get this style:
Dog Tag Necklace at Forever 21 $4.80
High Collar Bomber Jacket in black at Forever 21 $39.80
Faux leather Biker Jacket at Forever 21 $39.80 (black & brown)
Breda Colton Watch at Jack Threads $32.00
TIP #6 FIND A
KILLER SCENT
Beyond your style,
the cologne you choose is a major part your personal style. Every man has to
have his signature smell. Remember don’t let the cologne overpower you, so that
your date ends up cutting out early. Just find a scent that speaks who you are
without over kill. HINT: Try to look
for rich scents with dark woods, warming spices, and amber which all appeal to a women’s nose, causing her to get closer.

TIP #7 GROOM TO PERFECTION
I’m definitely not suggesting you groom
like the men of Jersey Shore that
would definitely scare your date off, but I am recommending you make an effort
regarding your hairstyle and facial hair. Don’t over do the gel and don’t under
groom. Your date is going to be focusing on your face, so it’s important your
not sporting a beard like men of Duck Dynasty,
so shave the night before, and by all means get a trim at the barber too if necessary.
Also, if you do have mono-brow don’t be embarrassed there are many salons that
can quickly remove the hair in safe way, but don’t go too far either because your
date doesn’t want your eyebrows more arched than hers.
