I say it often, but it's very true... Women notice details, and we definitely notice what you're wearing!  Women generally will tell you that they are attracted to a certain "type" of guy, but when it comes down to it, we just want a clean, well-dressed man who is aware of his image. 

I'm not suggesting that you become a metrosexual, or that you change who you are or your personal style.  I'm just suggesting that you become aware of what is attractive to women.  These same concepts will help you make your best first impression with everyone you meet throughout your day, and I think you'll find yourself feeling more confident too.

Style Tips for Single Guys

• Take a Shower. I recommend taking a shower right before your date.  Not only will you smell good, but you'll feel great walking up to meet her.  Be sure to put on deodorant afterwards. There's no greater turn off than B.O. Cleanliness is key!
  
  
• Groom yourself. Women love clean shaven faces.  If you're going for the 5 o'clock shadow or have some other facial hair going on, make sure it's cleaned up and not too shabby.  Also, take care of any wild ear or nose hair, and get rid of the unibrow.  Be sure to check out the video below. If you have difficulty shaving (this is normal), go to a nice barber shop. 


• Get your haircut by a professional.  9.7 out of 10 women prefer short hair on men.  If you have long hair, it's time to get it cut.  Go ahead and make an appointment at a high end salon (like Seven, Gene Juarez or Vain in Seattle.)  If you're an outdoorsy guy, I'm okay with a high end barbershop like Rudy's in Seattle.  When you're changing your look, you want someone with a lot of talent and vision holding the scissors.  It's natural to be nervous about this, so grab a female friend or ask me to go with you.
  
  
• Buy fitted clothes.  Make sure you are buying clothes that are the right size.  This is especially important with jeans and shirts.  I recommend asking a fashion-minded female to help you shop, or call me and I'll help you.  If you've got the budget, you can also head to Nordstrom where the staff will gladly help you out. 
  
  
• Dress for the occasion.  Wear clothing that fits the nature of the date you're on.  If you're going for a walk around the city, wear jeans and a casual but flattering shirt and some cool, comfortable shoes that are not running shoes.  Even though it's a casual date, you want to look good.
  
  
• Show your style.  Show your personality through your clothing, and don't be scared to add accessories like watches, hats, or glasses. 
  
  
• Get your wardrobe basics.  Every guy needs several pairs of jeans, casual shirts, everyday shoes, a white button down, dress pants, dress shoes, a silk tie, blazer, and workout clothes.  Take the time to get your wardrobe cleaned out and getting ready will be a breeze.
