I typically wear fashionable blue jeans that fit well and snug (outlining the package nicely...I often catch women getting a glimpse at my crotch), and a brightly and/or multi-colored button-down shirt (love paisley's) OR black jeans and a black or black + some other color button down shirt. Since I'm older my hair is a little thin, but I'm growing it longer and I give it a wet look using some hair products. Women don't seem to even notice that my hair is a bit thin.
Accessorizing is where I get most of my peacocking value however. I have two small hoop earrings on my left ear, and I hang something cool from one of the hoops...usually a dragon claw holding a crystal, or right now I have two small daggers with skulls on them that dangle from about a 2-3" chain. Women seem to love the dangly earring...it's even been a conversation starter a time or two. I also wear a skull ring on my lefthand ring finger (it replaced my wedding band...somehow that just seems comical to me), and a mood ring on my picky (one of several I have so that I can give it away as an excuse to get back together...so far that hasn't worked so well for me though). I usually wear a studded belt with a Gothic cross belt-buckle, and (especially in black) I have a bit of a Gothic and/or musician look about me (the musician part being accurate). When it's cold, I wear a black leather jacket that has a texture that almost looks like snake skin. Women seem to like it. I've been told that I "look like a musician". I've been told I "stand out" in a crowd, but in a good way. That's what I'm after.
I was dressed in all black last Friday...a young woman in a club asked if I was Bono (the singer from U2)...
I can't recall what I said, but I SHOULD have said "No, I'm Boner!" LOL.The most unusual piece of "peacockware" I've tried would be one of two leather collars I occasionally wear...both are black leather (one has stud that match my belt, the other has some chain links that hang off of it), and I usually only wear one of those if I'm otherwise dressed completely in black (they go well with a black shirt and create a little contrast). I'd say the collar is noticeably unusual. I've had a couple women ask me "is that a collar?" to which I reply "yeah, do you have a leash handy?". They get a laugh out of the sexual innuendo in that reply. When I'm in all black and wearing one of the collars is also the times when some woman has approached me and said "you're hot" or "I would hurt you!". Damn, I need to capitalize better on that.
One woman who's a friend only has told me a number of times "you accessorize better than I do". That seems like a powerful statement coming from a woman. Some women probably wonder if I'm gay (I've been asked by a guy before if I was gay), but I'm not sure that's a bad thing...disarms their defenses perhaps? I don't *look* or *act* gay...I *look* like a musician, which is what I'm after.So, I keep it tasteful, "looks like a musician", and a little Gothic and mysterious, rather than just outright "look at me" silly.

...I do have broad shoulders and I just need to really hit some weights!), so I tend to wear snug jeans and a loose shirt...that "shows off" the muscular lower body but hides the less muscular upper body. In fact, I often wear a button down shirt that is maybe one size too big...it sort of "blouses out" and gives the illusion that I'm more triangular-shaped than I actually am.
Unfortunately, the 514's don't seem to be available in black, only various shades of lighter and darker blue.
