So a thought just occurred to me that...maybe...I don't dress well.
I have a question for the ladies here. All of them, for different perspective. What looks tacky or unappealing on a guy? Is the way I dress possibly one of the big turn-offs women find in me? I don't wear skater shoes or skinny jeans or logo shirts or retar--sorry, developmentally disabled-- hats.
I typically just throw on a pair of jeans which may or may not have such features as moderate-to-heavy fading, tight to slightly loose, and/or moderate tearing/fraying at the bottom because contrary to the trends of popular culture, I think it's pretty cool to do real work from time to time, and the woods aren't exactly easy on jeans.
I do have a pair of cargo slacks I wear.
For shirts, almost all of my stuff is solid color or two-tone. Several are shirts with my fire dept. logo which kinda stands out compared to most, and the only jacket I have besides a blue hoodie is a fire dept. windbreaker; dark blue with my name on one breast and reflective striping across the mid section/arms, and dept. name on the back.
For shoes I typically wear my fire/logging boots because they're pretty **** comfortable compared to anything else, and to me it's kinda like showing off the fact that I'm a working man, which is as close to a fashion statement as I will ever bring myself...and truth be told, I kinda like the emphasized 'stomp' that comes with them in comparison to girly-man soft-sole shoes (see this picture, here, though mine aren't nearly that new anymore, lol). Other times I have a pair of regular cross-trainer type shoes I wear but they're nothing fancy.
I frequently have a hat on unless my hair is cut. Also, my shirt is ALWAYS tucked in and my pants belted. Always, no exceptions, ever.
Is this sort of attire unappealing somehow? Am I dressing poorly without realizing it? Should I expand my wardrobe? I can provide some pictures, if that'd help with some suggestions. Really hoping for some female input, here. Be brutal, I'm out of ideas.
