I️ know many of you have felt left out because you probably don't care too much about the trendy colors of the season or if it's cool to wear sheer or not... but I️ do know you might care a lot about what your particular crush thinks about what you chose to wear today. Maybe not, but if you do, stick around.
So Frat: She can tell
Being on a college campus, it is common to spot many fraternity guys roaming around. The question is, why is it so easy to tell a greek for the non-greek. Here are some common give aways. For one, you all genuinely dress the same; makes sense, knowing you're living in close quarters.
And your style isn't a bad thing it's just a give away. So why does it matter if I️'m in a fraternity? Well it doesn't, maybe it makes your more attractive but it does causes you to fall in a common pool of stereotypic ideas (not all true about every fraternity guy) that may be be running through her head:
1. you won't commit; talk for 3 months but never ask her to be your gf
2. has an idea of your priorities, Fifa, Fort Night, parties, and "the boys"
3. the shirt you're wearing is probably the one that smells the best so, to you, it's the cleanest
4. you have a hard time telling a girl how you feel or how she makes you feel
5. you're likely to ghost
Again these don't apply to a good majority of you but people, and in this case girls, learn from their experience.
Here some tips to add some variety
1. Your wardrobe can remain the same; all I️ have to say is, don't let these expectations define you when you finally gather the guts to talk to her.
The Tumblr: Sorta try hard
I'm really not trying to roast but it's just what we girls observe.
You understand the style thing but by tumblrs standards. What looks good online doesn't always translate well in person. Your crush probably thinks your over trendiness is a little too much:
1. you hide your insecurities in what you wear
2. your low-key too sensitive
3. assume being an asshole is apart of this "look"
4. your Instagram is a little dramatic
5. you could also be a drug dealer
You have style, but here are some tips just to make it translate properly:
1. loosen the pants, too skinny is too much
2. lose grafic-t's you bought from Pacsun
3. vans are cool just not in this order
4. bomber jackets are hard to pull off, do some research
5. show your crush your not a jerk cause you don't have to be
The Hipster: Misunderstood "not like other guys"
You have a simple style that gives off some romance movie vibes. It's a good look so if these are what you want her to possibly think, keep it up:
1. you spend most of your time in coffee shops
2. you have a less superficial level of music
3. you're kind and sweet but also a little shy
4. you're quick to tell a girl how you feel
5. a little sensitive; easy to hurt
5. relationship ready or already in one/very commited
6. you're a 'bring home to mom' type of guy
Hipster Part two: Edgy Hipster
Hipster falls under multiple categories but this type likes to add a little more mysteriousness with your style. You are definitely harder to read then most guys because you could go both ways in most cases. For example:
1. you're hard headed and opinionated, or don't really care either way
2. care about everyone and anything, or only about what's important to you and not much else
3. find delicacies in things like coffee, beer, or tattoos to make you more interesting, or you could be too lazy to care at all
4. possibly reckless, or don't feel like being reckless
5. you have a genuine and meaningful personality, or not much of a personality (at first)
6. you have a lot of ambitions, or none at all
7. you're content and motivated, or sad and lonely
8. you want to find a girl good enough to bring home to your mom, or a girl who's willing to "get you" and help with your issues.
Basically, you are either very driven or very lazy. It might take the girl a first date to help figure that out.
Country Boy: Yee Haw
Being is Oklahoma this style is fairly common and almost expected. Nothing at all wrong with your chosen style, but your crush may assume this:
1. you own a truck
2. live in Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas
3. grew up on a ranch or farm
4. is pursuing an agriculture major/agricultural engineering
5. firm believer in the power of country music
6. cowboy boots are the go to shoe, any day everyday
7. respectful: "yes ma'am" "yes sir"
8. BIG handshake guy
9. kind and compassionate
Thats all I️ have but if you don't fall under these categories and are very concerned feel free to message me and I'll help you get that potential date lol.
And if you don't fall under these categories because you have no idea what your style is or struggle will style in general, here are a few idea that are simple and easy. This look is harder to read and has less expectations to meet so you can fill these expectations as your crush gets to know you. If you finally ask her out. :)
1. black or blue jeans are easy and look good
2. a plain shirt with no graphics is simple yet very attractive
3. stripes are good too
4. classic sweaters are always appreciated
5. you can't go very wrong with white shoes
Lots of Love <3
