Pensacola seems to have a surplus of young people , which definitely isn ’ t a bad thing . With two colleges , and a navy base there are more than enough 20 something ’ s to make it a fun city . The fashion however … lets just say it could be better , especially when it comes to the guys . How many times have you gone out and just left the house in the graphic tee you wore to class , and those cargo shorts you ’ ve had since senior year ? Now , I know a lot of guys still think they look good wearing that out in their 20 ’ s , but trust me , you don ’ t . Coming from a guy who has a lot of girls that are just friends , they don ’ t like it , and as soon as they see you wearing that they ’ ve already crossed you off their list . I know a lot of people decide halfway through the day that they want to go out that night or you get invited while you ’ re in class or at work . So I ’ m going to focus on how you can transition from what you wore to work / school to a nice going out outfit girls will actually like . It won ’ t take that much time , but will require a little effort .
For the guys coming fromwork : If you already dress well for work or are required to dress nice that makes this one pretty easy . Chino pants are great for work . They look professional , are affordable , and are insanely comfortable . They are also perfect for going out for the same reasons . Chino pants give you a clean , fresh look and can be paired with a solid or print button down , un-tucked , for that “ yeah , I ’ m professional , and successful , but ready to let loose ” look . So depending on what you wear to work this may be as simple as un-tucking your shirt and heading out , or running home to change out of the uniform polo , you ’ re required to wear , for a cool button down .
For the guys coming from school : personally , I like dressing well wherever I go . I have days where I really couldn ’ t care less , but most of the time I want it to be apparent I know how to dress myself . Having good fashion sense isn ’ t something to hide , although you don ’ t have to flaunt it . By simply being stylish and wearing trends you know work for you puts you well above a lot of people on the fashion scale .
Guys tend to have this idea that fashion is for girls , but girls like boys that know fashion , just ask
Kanye West , Justin Timberlake , Ryan Gosling … they have hot girlfriends . Back to the matter at hand though , if you dress nice for school this one makes for an easy transition too . Jeans are a staple . Find a brand that fits you , and buy them in all the colors you can . They don ’ t have to be skinny jeans , but they shouldn ’ t be baggy . They should hug your legs comfortably , and not look like “ diaper butt ” in the back . Paired with a simple graphic tee , and cardigan or sweater makes for a nice casual daywear that also lets people know you have style . If you ’ re planning on going out after a day like this , simply throw on a leather jacket , with your graphic tee to dress it up or change out your tee for a button up shirt , and keep your cardigan for a chill , hanging-at-the-bar night .
