<p>For those of you whose primary concern is attracting girls, I don't think you should be heavily preoccupied about the brand or even the fit of your clothes, because it makes little difference. People who are attractive will be attractive no matter what clothes you put on them (this includes dorky weirdos who have no fashion sense). People <em>can</em> increase their level of attractiveness, but the most efficient means to do this is not through clothes but by eating healthy and taking care of their skin. Eat vegetables, drink plenty of water, wash your face daily (to reduce the size of your pores), get plenty of sleep. Doing all these things will help you attain smooth, radiant, and supple skin. I would even argue that it would give fit people who are plain-looking some sex appeal. </p>
<p>I knew when I clicked on this thread that someone would comment "gay," and I was right. Ohmygod, so annoying.</p>
<p>Girls would prefer the latter even though he's not in some expensive polo shirt. The first guy just comes off as vain and trying hard. Instead of worrying about wearing Lacoste, he'd be better off trying to improve his skin (maybe getting rid of the lines on his forehead, reducing the sizes of his pores, developing glow)--that is, if he is concerned about looking good, which he apparently is (by the gelled hair, popped collar, and pose). I truly believe that with some improvement in his skin, he could become attractive.</p>
<p>And in fact, a later picture indicates this improvement. Notice how much more attractive he is, even without the Lacoste polo shirt he was wearing? Ultimately, the shirt made little difference. However, in my humble opinion, the hair gel has got to go.</p>
<p>The second guy (the Asian-looking one) is still more attractive in my opinion, but the first guy has narrowed the gap through improvement in his skin. Whoever is better-looking is now debatable (would depend on the personal preference of the girl).</p>
<p>While I agree that practicing proper hygiene is important, I think to suggest that the type of clothing you wear has little bearing on how attractive individuals will find you is false. If you have excellent fashion sense, women will certainly find that attractive.</p>
<p>Where I think people get carried away is being so fixated on brands that they fail to wear the clothing properly nor do they work on other aspects to enhance their attractiveness, like you suggest -- proper diet and exercise. </p>
<p>More importantly, for individuals attempting to attract girls, clothing and great hygiene definitely helps with women, but if you don't have confidence you're screwed.</p>

<p>Maybe I'm just different from the norm, but I've definitely been attracted to some homeless people (hey, some of them are attractive... not my fault) despite their poor fashion sense. Once again, I've found fashion to have little bearing on one's attractiveness (consider the case study I presented in my previous post if you haven't already). Could an excellent fashion sense improve one's attractiveness? Yes, but just by a little. Whether someone wears a t-shirt or a polo makes little difference to natural beauty, which is more important anyway and <em>can</em> be improved as I argued. What matters more than one's clothing, I think, is their demeanor (so you're right in your acknowledgement of confidence but I would emphasize grace and overall poise more since confidence could be faked... in which case it could detract). </p>
<p>I realized that I cannot speak for individual girls or other gay guys, but I truly believe I am right.</p>
<p>Perhaps most of them don't worry about hygiene, but it makes little sense not to <em>if</em> they're fretting about clothing, since hygiene makes a greater impact. However, some are just pretending (I've seen the skincare products in the dorm).</p>
<p>Burberry polos fit me the best. Ralph Lauren is a close second, but its a little too slim fit for my tastes. Also, the good thing about both is that they don't really shrink. That's why I don't wear Lacoste anymore -- I've shrunk a good 10 shirts from them to the point of being unwearable.</p>
<p>There might be a big difference in quality between a wifebeater (whatever that is) and a blazer, but wearing the blazer makes little difference in terms of increasing one's attractiveness.</p>
<p>I only wear polos. I very, very rarely wear T-shirts. I get most of my polos from Target or Kohls. :D The brand? Usually, it's something like
"Arizona Jean Co." Usually, they cost $5 or less, so I'm good. I don't have a preference.</p>
<p>I tend not to wear polos when possible, as it simply isn't the type of clothing I feel most comfortable in. And, absent of circustances which demand such dress, I feel no reason to conform to "adult" dress standards. I'd rather just wear a t-shirt and jeans when possible. That said, in instances where I must wear a polo, the only ones I wear are FUBU.</p>
<p>I personally like D&G and Gucci for polos. They are usually bold and classic without the faded or copy-cat patterns you'll find in most other stores and are also made with premium fabrics that are usually cooler.</p>
<p>Lacoste is also a favorite if I'm going solid. You can never go wrong with a solid white polo with a dark pair of jeans (like DKNY, Hudson, or Dior Homme).</p>
<p>If I'm looking for a statement, then DSquared makes some very memorable polos that have their own unique style.</p>
