subject: Mens Fashion And Designs For The Mind [print this page] Are their "smart" fashion choices? Can clothes be intelligent choices or can they make you intelligent looking? Do clothes really make the man? Is their wisdom in your attire or do you just get tired thinking about it? Do the clothes you wear turn you on? Do they attract others or repel them? All of these questions concern clothes that are designed for the mind.
The mind is quick to categorize things and sort them against previous known patterns to form a snap judgment. People read you by the power of their first impression, which is very hard to shift later even when the first impression is actually totally wrong. The way you dress allows you to have some form of influence over the world and the reactions that you get from the people you encounter. If this does not seem important to you, it is probably because you have never experienced the feeling of walking into a room and just knowing you made a great impression by the looks of admiration you received.
Surprisingly, the mind is also the most powerful sex organ. It is the source of the male libido, not the other physical parts of the body. Visual engagement comes before any other form of engagement. This works for females as well just in slightly different ways. But they definitely do not get turned on, if your looks turn them off.
How do you get that great look for yourself? One technique is to pretend you are doing a fashion makeover for someone else. Think of how you would advise a guy your age on what to wear and what makes them look good. You probably can come up with some good ideas. Now go to your closet and see if any of them are in there. If not, then you really do need to put some effort into improving your appearance. Unless you live as a hermit in a cave your life is constantly filled with contact with other people.
The old adage "dress for success" still rings true. A nice appearance is the key to getting ahead in life, especially professional life, so dress to suit yourself but also be aware that you are under constant scrutiny. If you walk into a town meeting wearing shoes that look like they came out of a WW II trench, a stained t-shirt, and a torn suit from the second hand store; don't expect to be elected the next town mayor. Everyone gets their chance for their fifteen minutes of fame, so when it is your turn don't blow it by being poorly dressed.
If you have trouble setting the appropriate style for yourself, pick your favorite male movie star that is close to your age and copy his style. Don't copy guys that are a lot older or a lot younger than you are, that will just make you look silly. After you change to your new style, hopefully she will not think you look like the pits, but instead she tells you that you remind her of Brad Pitt as a compliment. The you know you have designed for her mind and you have her thinking in the right direction.
