As much as we say we don’t, we do. As much as we pretend that we don’t, we do. We get dressed in the morning, think about a certain someone (or multiple someones) or even the hope of meeting that someone and think, “I wonder if this will get his attention?”
Guys are visual. It’s easy to dress in a way that gets his attention or turns him away. The problem is, way too many girls dress in a way that attracts the wrong kind of guy. Sure, short shorts and tight shirts will get guys looking. But it will be the wrong kind of guy. So here is some advice as to how to dress the grab the attention of the right kind of guy.
Be Yourself
Are you a sporty kind of girl? Rock the sneakers, basketball shorts, and ponytail. Are you into music? Wear shirts with music-type jokes that only you get (I’d insert one here, but I’m not musical and, therefore, have nothing to offer). Into nature? Wear lots of brown and green and get one of those feather extensions that are so popular right now. The bottom line is, wear things that boldly proclaim who you are. Guys want you to be real.
Be Modest
I know I’ve pounded you over the head with this time and time again, but it always deserves repetition. The bottom line is, if it’s not for sale, don’t put it on the menu.
Be Feminine
As much as modesty is important, it’s no excuse to be a slob. Use good hygiene. Make sure your clothes are in good shape. Don’t wear too much make up. Buy clothes in the girl’s department. Dress up on occasion and celebrate your inner girly girl.
Be Humble
The ultimate test of your appearance is asking your dad. Ask him if it’s too much or not enough. Ask him if he has any suggestions. Does dressing like Daddy’s little girl really get a guys attention? If your dad approves, that means that you will be dressing to impress the right kind of guy.
Be Patient
One of the reasons girls change their appearance is the hopes of getting some attention – pretty much any attention from any guy. But if you are modest, feminine, and totally yourself, the right guy will come along at the right time and think you are beyond beautiful just the way you are. So keep being yourself and wait. Even when it seems like it’s taking forever, wait. He’ll be along some day.
I was watching What Not To Wear the other day and there was a girl with orange skin (too much tanning), bleached blond hair, and so much makeup, I’m surprised it wasn’t dripping off. She wore tight pink clothes and talked like a ditz.
More shocking than her appearance was what she had to say. “I’m a nice Christian girl and I just want a nerdy, geeky kind of guy. But it seems like only jerks are interested in me.”
I wanted to shake some sense into her! You really think a nerdy, geeky kind of guy would even approach you let alone ask you out? And, I don’t even know you, but they way you dress and talk screams, “I’m easy!”
The best way to dress to impress a guy is to don’t. Don’t try too hard. Don’t be consumed with it. Be modest, be yourself, and be patient.
What are some of your favorite things that you wear that your perfect guy will just fall in love with?
