Then I'm already scoring on your scale. The first thing I check in clothing is how it feels.

I like slimmer slacks whether they be the fashion or not. I've hated seeing the slouchy cargo pants with boxers peaking out. Slouchy, sloppy makes me cringe. Neat, orderly and fitted is what I love to see and what makes me come back for more.
No big change here. I already do loose slacks, but hardly baggy ones.

And that's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks!

Mascara on a man is hot. Not obvious mascara, but enough to make your lashes look longer. Try clear mascara first, and if that does not work, use the black/brown, depending on hair color.
Been blessed with naturally long lashes. Mascara would be overkill.

Been playing with an iridescent midnight blue. (Stroke of Midnight, from M-A-C). Haven't drawn the general conclusion on it yet, but even the subtlest form (Put it on, wash it off, some residue remains) drew some comments. A female friend of mine spotted it immediately, asked about it, and left a complement. A guy friend just said "nice eyeliner" sincerely and left it at that. The cute girl across the yoga class stared at me in a way she hadn't before, or maybe that was just wishful thinking.

Yep. That's already most of my wardrobe. Black pants. Slacks, pajama bottoms, linen goodness. Black.

I don't think that look is me. I'm the slim guy. Muttonchops aren't going to fit.

I could get one of these, but more than that and I think I vanish down the hole of hopelessly, formulaically goth.

I'm told that I'm already pretty good with colours. It's easy to make one dramatic article stand out when the backdrop is so clean.

That's an idea. I've never been into nail polish myself, but perhaps it's time to re-evaluate that.


So.. lots of good and specific advice here. Anyone have any more dramatic suggestions?
