They say the clothes don’t make a man, and that’s true, but they definitely help. I’ve never known a guy who was successful with women who didn’t dress well. More importantly though, dressing well makes you feel good about yourself. Getting your wardrobe together is a crucial aspect of getting your life together.
The problem is most guys dress like sh*t, and your typical men’s style magazine doesn’t help. Most of their outfits cost as much as this guide and are way too avant garde for the average guy. You want to be about 80% towards the cutting edge of fashion, this means you have classic clothes and style that both men and women will respect.
Think Ryan Gosling, George Clooney or you can be a bit more aggressive and model someone like Jason Statham. With that said, you don’t need to spend a ton of money, with this wardrobe you will look better than 99% of guys because 99% of guys dress like sh*t, check it out:
