Girls Notice Me More if I Wear Dress Clothes

Before anyone comments, I don't care whether or not guys care about this, and I wouldn't change anything based on whether they do or not.

I'm just wondering does what a girl is wearing affect how attracted you are to her?
Like do you find you're more attracted to girls in girly dresses, or in more casual jeans and a tank top? Do you prefer girls who have a quirky style, or who dress in kind of masculine clothes, like baggy tees etc?

Or could you care less whether they're in a tracksuit or a sparkly dress and heels? You may not have considered it before but surely it has some affect on the type of gals you notice! I'm just curious!

tbh I dont mind what a girl wears as long as I find her attractive in some way shape or form, because even the most unique/out there combinations atleast have their plus side (no one else will be wearing it lol)

that being said I do like casual looks over dresses myself, but it doesnt stop me finding a girl attractive just because shes wearing a dress or a tracksuit or a bin liner for that matter lol.

so to some extent its affected by your preference, but I dont think its important or crucial (but thats just my opinion)

tbh just as a side note ive found girls from most styles/stereotypes attractive lol, from chavs right through to cyber goths lol, rock chick to erm bridesmaid dress ? but you get the point lol

As someone who dresses pretty well (note: "well" and "up" are not the same thing: you can dress well in a well-fitting hoodie and a pair of jeans and sneakers, and you can dress poorly in a three piece suit), I tend to notice when a person has put some thought into coordinating their outfit, how their things fit, and the overall aesthetic of it. If a girl can wear something like casual jeans and a tank top well, that's fine with me. I'm more attracted to that if it's contextually appropriate (since 99% of fashion is context anyway -- a girl wearing a sparkly dress and heels just to go down the pub is not dressing well). So a sparkly dress and heels is not inherently more attractive than the jeans and tank top.

So in short, it's less about what you wear, and more about when you wear it, and how you wear it. If you wear the right level of formality at the right time, and you've been able to coordinate colours and textures properly then I'm likely to notice it and like it. Wear something appropriate for the situation, make sure your clothes fit and the colours go together. Sorted. If you don't, it doesn't really bother me since I accept that not everyone cares as much about clothes as I do.

as for my answer about the tank top, while some like girls all done up and dressed up, I think it takes alot of confidence for a girl to dress down and just be casual (alot more than it does for a man (which is none at all lol)) and I respect and admire that, I also admire girls who dont wear make up for similar reasons.

This is pretty true too, if a girl can wear something low-key and still have the confidence to walk with their head high and rock it, I find that pretty attractive.

Just read that whole thing in barneys voice lol, good advice though

Unfortunately, if you were to take Barney's advice on clothing, you'd actually be pretty unfashionable, since suiting up all the time is a bit stupid, and looks very affected.

Personally, as long as you don't dress like a boy, it doesn't really matter. Baggy tees/baggy jeans aren't great, as at least to me it indicates that the girl may not be confident about her figure, or is a "scene" type such as goth/metal, which the average guy may not find particularly attractive either.

lol tbh I hardley ever dress that "up" when im out of work, I perfer more casual styles, not all that fashionable though or know much/anything about that kinda thing

I personally find it quite attractive if a girl is wearing one of my t-shirts or hoodies or something, for some reason. Plus afterwards it smells like girl.

As long as you're doing that, then you're probably dressing better than the majority of the population.

Yep, dark wash jeans are pretty versatile. Pair them with tons of things. I wear my few pairs with white sneakers, grey sneakers, tan boots, chocolate brown boots, tan brogues... pretty much the only thing I can't see myself wearing with them are my black cap toe dress shoes. Then you can wear them with a hoodie or a t-shirt or a casual-style shirt (like a button down or something) or a v-neck and a shirt. Honestly, my dark jeans are my favourite piece(s) of clothing.

I do feel abit weird if the girls wears to much makeup and tan. I prefer a girl wearing jeans, a hoodie and some any decent shoes. After all we'll see each other on the college pretty much everyday and I do think that college isn't a fashion catwalk. Ya know a pretty laidback style without too much effort but then again that's only part of the aesthetics. That doesn't really matter that much to me.

Sure, if a girl you are already attracted to dresses down, that's attractive as well, but I think initial attraction is unlikely to occur if a girl is constantly wearing baggy clothes.

You can "dress down" and not wear baggy clothes, though. Dressing down does not mean dressing poorly in the same way that dressing up does not mean dressing well. If you dress up and wear an ill-fitting suit then you're not dressed well. If you dress down and wear a nicely fitting hoodie and a well fitting pair of jeans then you can absolutely be dressed well. If a girl is wearing clothes that fit and make sense together in an outfit, the initial attraction is going to be there. At least for me. But it doesn't bother me all that much what girls wear... I actually judge men for their clothes a lot more, even though I'm not gay or bi.

Sure, as long as the clothes are fitted its fine. Was addressing the OPs question about baggy clothes though, which almost by definition means they do not fit properly.

That's true. Baggy clothes do have their place if they're integral to an aesthetic that you're aiming towards, but I think it's a lot more difficult to make something like that look good, versus just wearing some properly fitted clothes.

Can't say I'm that bothered but if a girl is wearing jeans with knee high boots then they are bound to capture my attention

I mostly care about a girl's character and behaviour.About clothing and style every girl should be free to choose what makes her happy.And I think a pretty girl is beautiful no matter what she wears

lool I spend about 10 minutes max getting right at the moment and just wear whatever I have lol I need to change (make more effort :/) and take more interest in fashion?
