Dressing for Dudes

The very idea of dressing to impress someone other than myself is fairly new to me. It’s also effing annoying, because you can’t wear electric blue tights (Foot Traffic, $7 at Beacon’s Closet) if you’re worried about what other people think. So - as an alternative to the T&A method of dressing universally approved by men - I wore this tight/heel combo with a navy American Apparel minidress out on a date. I’m not into metrosexuals, so I don’t expect the guys I date to praise my outfits. But - as committed as I am to fashion - I’m not above wanting to be told I look hot.

Wow. Those tights are really…blue.

Blue. Not hot, not sexy, just…blue. Fine, maybe a second date isn’t the best time to break out the crazy (stylistically and otherwise). As my legs looked rather Smurf-like, I can’t really blame the guy.
Does wearing a sexy tank and fitted jeans on a date bore the hell out of me? Obvs. But men are simple creatures, and the good ones - particularly those who make you laugh and slip the waitress their credit card before you even see the check - deserve the occasional opportunity to pretend they aren’t ogling your cleavage.
