Boys, This One's For You!

It has been brought to my attention recently that there is an entire group of potential readers whose needs I have been ignoring: guys! It seems apparent to me that most young men know only a few ways to dress, which consists of Nike, Adidas, college gear, and the occasional tuxedo for formal events. But guys there are so many other options out there for you, and all at reasonable prices!
Not to say that you do not only owe it to yourself to invest in a few casual, non-athletic gear pieces, but you also owe it to the girls or the future girl that you will have in your life. Fact: it is offensive to wear sweats and a t-shirt on a date. Ladies take the time to make themselves look presentable and fashionable for you, therefore it is expected for you to do the same.
Maybe the problem is not that you mean to be offensive, but rather you are not educated. It is completely appropriate, and sexy, to wear nice jeans, a fitted v neck t-shirt, and fashionable athletic shoes when you are hanging out with a girl. Want to amp it up a bit? Wear a V-neck sweater for cooler days, a classic polo for hotter days, or a button down stripped shirt for the in between days. And the great thing about all of these options, is that you can wear them with nice jeans. By nice jeans I mean jeans that are somewhat slim fitting and tapered, no dad or carpenter jeans allowed, and preferably a dark wash. But if you have a more formal event to attend with your girl, you can also pair any of these options with a great pair of khakis and a pair of leather loafers or slip-ons.
As for shoes, boys, this is your time to shine! What shoes a man wears says so much about his personality. If you do wear athletic shoes, which is perfectly acceptable, they should be in proper condition: clean, interesting, and eye catching. Think Justin Bieber-esque high tops, hipster converses, or preppy Sperry's. Flip flops with socks is not hot, and will not keep your girl coming back for more.
Now that you know what to wear, you may wonder where you can buy these articles of clothing. Khols, Old Navy, and H&M are stores that constantly get in new merchandise that is affordable and durable.
By choosing to wear clothing that is a bit more formal than sweats that you can lounge in, you will impress your peers and get the girl of your dreams.
