Fashion: From what to wear and how to wear it, Eh, I don't know if this goes here.... Options

As you can tell by the title this is a section devoted to fashion. If anyone needs help on how to make an outfit or to find out whats "in" right now then you've come to the right place.

Lol, all this fashion "dos and don'ts" talk is really horrendous. Ummmm... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Here are my horrible fashion tips:

1. If you follow all the advice that the fashion magazines give you, you will either end up looking like a prostitute or an old lady depending on the article's target demographic. Plus, if you take a random person's advice/critique on fashion to heart, it means you are too insecure. So use such things at your own discretion.
2. If you actually worry about looking outrageous before you leave the house, then you need to grow up. Stop reading now. You are not ready for fashion.
3. This is a personal preference, but I cannot stress enough that one should never wear polo shirts, they are polyester disasters and will make anyone look like a miserable grocery-bagger.
4. Jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, etc. are not fashionable. Don't think of them as being really cool and stylish because unless they are heavily embellished, they are not. They are function. You will never be "well-dressed" in just jeans and a t-shirt. Nothing wrong with wearing them, but it's not really fashionable or impressive.
5. If a guy wants to wear eye makeup, he should never call it "guyliner". If he wants to dress up but is so sexually insecure that he can't admit he's wearing eyeliner, then he should lock himself inside his home and never leave again.
6. If one DOES wear makeup (this goes for everyone), coordinate it with the outfit, please. Black eyeliner does not go with everything, nor does it look good on everyone.

And now for the most important piece of advice I have to give (courtesy to the fabulous Mr. Tim Gunn)...
7. MAKE IT WORK. Even neon orange dress shirts, rainbow suspenders, and polka-dot bedazzled skinny jeans will have potential. If you want to be stylish, you just have to look at things with an artistic eye. Oh, and refer to tip #2.

For guys in high school, jeans and t-shirts aren't that bad, but if you're going out somewhere and you wanna impress some ladies, yeah you'll wanna wear something nicer. Pretty much, wearing those kinds of things make you look like a kid, whereas nicer clothes make you look more like a man. Not sure how old you are, AlKo, but I'm 21 so dressing like a kid doesn't do me much good.

Oh yeah, most significant of all is there's no way you're gonna appeal to everyone, though that should be obvious enough.
