Image the scene. A beautiful young lady is sitting on a couch at a trendy café. She looks over to her left patiently waiting for me to enter. I make my entrance glancing over at her. Instantly, she dresses herself with a genuine ear-to-ear smile. Eyes wide open, she measures me. Dimples and all, her face lights up after giving me the nod of approval. Head to toe, I dressed not to impress her but to simply project my everyday style. I wore my plain white dress shirt, my dark-washed slim-fit jeans, and loafers. Style is not just the clothes you are wearing, it's the entire package. How you look, talk, walk, even smell.
I sat right next to her soon after I entered the room. She quickly picked up on my scent and asked what I was wearing as it smelled intoxicating. I replied, "It's my favorite cologne, Claiborne's Curve for Men." This cologne has never failed. I must say I lucked out on this specific fragrance. It is my signature scent, the same one that draws women closer to me. Women simply love it and are completely intoxicated by it. The entire message here is for men - women pick up on every detail. You may not realize it but she is picking up every single detail about you. Like I have already mentioned, it's the entire package. As a gentleman, you want to stay humble and let your natural talents and your physical attributes will speak for themselves.
A simple "thank you" will suffice. Let her go on about her compliments towards you and simply smile in return. Let's not forget the obvious, compliments work both ways. This is a good sign if she is reading into every detail. It's an unofficial scan of who you are as a person. Her body language, the tone of her voice, and where her eyes tend to wander are all the right moves...she's interested. You keep her genuinely smiling, then you are good to go. Nothing but smooth sailing from there.

- The one-off shoulder reveal is one of the top styles around this season. Bearing the shoulders hits the sexy-spot, whether it's the left, right or even both.
- Solid colors make stylish statements as well. Choosing to carry around a solid plush orange hand bag is a very wise choice.
- Mix/match the prints. The top print clashing with your skirt's print is another plus for this season.
- Hats that are small, large, oddly shaped, classically stitched or if you are wearing it day or night. Doesn't matter, go with it!
- Red equals lust, power, and just pure sex appeal. From accessories to the entire dress, red is all over. I'm not talking about blood red (crimson) but the red that is applied to your lips. That solid red that you see at the stop light. Bold and sexy. Stop before you go.
- Socks with sandals? You bet your cute tush. I know it's surprising but some of the women out there in the real world are rocking these things with class. Doesn't matter how high the heels are, just make sure the color and or design of those socks match!
- I love Prada and Prada loves camo. The pop-art camo is a definite buy for this season.
And to top it all off, the best part of all this...bringing along your best gal-pal is trendy as well. Your best friend is possibly the best compliment to what you are wearing out there. Two is always better than one.

- Gentleman Tip of the Day -
Try leather, it helps. I know back when most of us were younger we went crazy over the latest Nike or Adidas basketball shoes. We all wanted to get our pairs of Jordan's. Those days are gone, gentleman. I know most of us men always tease women about their fetish with shoes. Let's face it, we may not be as bad as women but we are pretty damn close. My casual wear now instead of sneakers are my beloved loafers. Quality now comes in leather with class not with sports.
It's fine to have a pair or two when it comes to hitting the gym or playing a sport from time to time. When it comes to every-day use, it's a whole different style and attitude. The beautiful thing about loafers is the lack of effort you need when putting them on. At the same time, it projects pure class. Dress shoes is all I shop for nowadays. Just like Puma or the other brands I've already mentioned, there are brands and labels to consider in dress shoes as well. Look at it this way, the quality and value behind a hand made top-class dress shoe is like producing a Ferrari for your feet.
I know loafers (or dress shoes) aren't for every man because it really does depend on a man's profession, the company he keeps, and down to his environment. Do not let any of that deter you from actually making that change for those special occasions. That's why a little bit of knowledge in this field is always encouraged.
