How would you dress to attract smart girls living in Madison, Wisconsin? I've had a lot of luck wearing a winter hat and random stuff from my closet. Most of the time it's a polo T and sweatpants (like the Lil Wayne song). But I haven't closed a girl who can hold a conversation with me. I know they must exist. How should I dress to attract them?

polo tee and sweats? come on bro,grow up, lose the damn sweats. pick up some nice looking jeans at least. personally i prefer cords and khakis

There are many different styles people can pull off. You need to find the one that is right for you. As a general rule, peacocking and dressing flambouyantly will draw attention from women. Try to dress like somebody, not just anybody.

Your own style is very much important, don't go changing that to suit a particular girl. However, there are key things for every outfit and every style.

1) Make sure it fits. Well. Not baggy, not tight. Get stuff that fits like a glove.
2) Colours matching. You don't need to wear bright colours, you don't need to wear all plain black. You don't need to be loud to attract attention though. One of my most complimented outfits is a pair of black trousers, black shoes, a blue and white checked shirt, a grey cardigan as a layering tool, with a thick wooly trench-coat that is black and greyish coloured. So it's not loud, it's fairly plain in fact, but it looks the shit when everything fits as well as it does. It looks smart, professional and I feel like an arrogant son of a bitch when I'm wearing it! That shows to women.
3) Shoes. Whatever sort of footwear you wear (relevant to style and the rest of the outfit), invest well. If you're short of cash, get a cheaper pair of pants or a cheaper shirt, and spend more on the shoes. Women notice shoes, and despite being probably the last thing you put on and right down at the bottom out of the way, they can really make or break an outfit.
4) Colour scheme. Google a colour wheel, or 'colour theory', find out what colours go with what.

The only other tip I'd give is to not try too hard. Don't try and peacock by putting on seven different types of accessory. Don't wear bright red jeans with a bright green coat and a bright orange tee shirt underneath with a zebra print hat. You'll look a tool. Just by wearing nice fitting clothes, where the colours match and the outfit is topped off by a nice pair of shoes, maybe a nice watch which maybe brings out the colour in your shirt or matches your shoes and/or belt, that's all you need.

'7000' above has some good sound advice.

Why not do some proper research about fashion on the internet.

Look at sites such as fashionbeans.com

I've dated a girl from a rather prestigious american university before, she was very intelligent. Basically I dressed like nothing she had ever seen in and around her campus.

Skin tight jeans, low cut top with lots of necklaces and rings, also wore jackets and cardigans and things like that. She said it was sexy, but not all girls are into that, I have toned it down a bit since except for the tight jeans because I find any other jeans uncomfortable.

There are many different styles people can pull off. You need to find the one that is right for you. As a general rule, peacocking and dressing flambouyantly will draw attention from women. Try to dress like somebody, not just anybody.

Even though you are asking about style for attracting smart girls, I think the best way to attract smart girls is through forming an emotionally bonding relationship that engages her on an intellectual level

find an appropriate style that fit your body shape.

I live in Madison too. I would say go buy some cheap crap from ragstock. The people here consider that the way to dress. Over dressing unless at the bars doesn't work. Wear Jeans, not sweatpants

Sort of agree - but "somebodys" often don't need the extravagant peacocking. Certainly during "day game" situations. A sharp, powerful suit, where the only 'peacocking' item is a fancy watch is going to show you are a "somebody" far more than wearing all sorts of things trying to catch people's attention. I'm a firm believer in understatement being more of a statement than overstatement.


Ha, stop trying to steal people from the style forum Nah I agree with you man. Your clothing can only do so much. It can help tighten up your game, but it won't make it. And I believe the best way of gaming a girl is to suit your gaming style to her personality; if she's an intellectual type, then you will succeed best if you can stimulate her intellectually as well.

I personally believe that if you are confident then style does not matter.

I dated a super smart, gorgeous American girl who goes to a very prestigious college.

I attracted her wearing skinny jeans with rips in the knees, nice shoes, a scoop neck bohemian style t-shirt and a black jacket. I also had about three necklaces and several rings and bracelets on.

She said she was drawn to me because I was so confident with my style and she had never seen anyone dressed like me in her life.

Dressing flamboyantly and standing out signals confidence and high value, because you don't give a fuck what people think of you.
