How much does 'style' matter?

October 02 2012

I've been thinking about this a bit lately. Is it understandable or reasonable to 'pass' on a man (or woman) because they lack style? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a style queen. I'm most happy in a pair of denim shorts and a tank top, preferably bare foot. I'd call my style casual beach chic, with the occasional foray into glamour. I rock a pair of trakkies :) The thing about style, I realised, is that it tells you something about a person's aesthetic sensibilities. Will they appreciate the delights of classic architecture, the soothing effects of perfect interior design, the emotional impact of provocative art ... and so on? Can you be a total dag and still have style? Does style matter when it comes to attraction?

    I just happen to like a woman who can dress and look better than me out in public. I'm really looking forward to dating an inner city goth chick, even if just for contrast. I like a bit of the old gothic once in a while... not like those hostile punk chicks who are just a little bit too butch for my taste.

    Both my long term partners wore god awful clothes that were really unflattering & even embarassing in public & I now know that they were both lazy & unattentive sexually in the sack. Oh & one was a total dag, still is & has the worst taste in everything.. Aarrgh sorry if that was a rant but I really do think you can tell a lot about a person by their dress sense etc. My style is casual, comfortable & feminine & I am happy to be seen that way

    I can't abide meeting people for dates or anything outside if they are dressed like dags. Track suits, dirty jeans and tee shirts aren't stylish, they are downright daggy and untidy. People may have all the style in the world at home, but if they don't convey it in their personal attire and demeanour they lose me at first sight. Just my humble opinion.

    I think style is a very individual thing and not everyone is going to like your style..Im a jeans, tshirt girl or a nice dress girl... Im not into lots of makeup or jewerelly and I do like to wear a nice pair of shoes.I feel uncomforable around ppl who dress up to the nines all the time as Im not like that, but if they are happy with it then that is their choice.Some ppl take no pride in what their wear whether it be their choice, no education in how to dress properly, not enough income. there are lots and lots of factors.I suppose for me, it comes to looking deeper into a persons personality then to their style.But the whole stubbie shorts, shear singlet and thongs always gives me a giggle xxxxx

    It matters to me ! Or rather it matters to my vagina :) I LOVE men with style , class and worldly attitudes, huge turn on !!! Meeting a guy and having him be underdressed or pretty badly dressed makes me dry up :) I love fashion and glamour, fine wine and good food , I make no apologies that I like a man for the night who looks great and smells divine!

    Great question..   If you look at some of our greatest artist , while they could paint and see beauty , was their fashion as good ? When i look at a woman in different types of clothing she can be as fashionable and sexy in trackies as she can in a cocktail dress.   I think a woman wearing a cap can look sexy and fashionable..i think a smile can also make the style..

    how can you judge some by the clothes they wear or how they present themself..ive alway dress casual and be the quiet type,so very few people over the years and thought highly of me.i never taken for someone would thrash road bike down highway at 200kph.venture out in dune buggies and go crasy,then could dress up go out for night of dancing and end it with a lot of steamy sex..and yet the guys i knew who would wear the lastest fashions could work into pub ,have the girls flock and pick who they choose .would be the one the girls complained of being total arseholes.when it comes to style ,give me sexy casual anyday other over some who dress like they think their crap doesnt stick

    Everyone has style, maybe just not your style. Each to their own.I guess it depends what's more important to you, the personor their clothes, can you judge one by the other, to a small degree yes.Clothes, shoes etc, can also be misepresentative.As long as their appropriately attired for the occasion.Though style is about more than clothes and how you wear them.It's also about how they carry themselves and their general demeanor.Haircut, makeup, and even what element of society they belong to oraspire to belong to.Some things bemuse me, for example, people who proudly announce that they wear CK undies orwhatever, like look at me, I must be good because...lol..I'm sure the CEO of CK or whoever thank youfor paying a premium for their product and advertising it for them as well. lolI guess you would have to include phones in style these days as well, hands up who rushes out forthe latest and greatest, whether you need it or not. Would you think less of me because I still have anold steam powered mobile...lol...I bet plenty would.Ain't consumerism grand, keeps the economy ticking over I guess, don't know about GDP though.Cheers Felonious

    Personally, I don't give a fat rat's clacker about fashion, about what's in or out, or anything else that defines "style" or lack thereof. As long as I'm comfortable with myself, that's all that matters. If other people like what I present, great! If not, TS "Those that know me don't care. Those that don't know me don't matter."

    fossil summed up my thoughts exactly with ..'how a person carries themselves and their general demeanor' A big part of style for me is a person's attitudes and personality. I do enjoy fashion, although i think some go overboard trying to achieve a 'look' ...each to their own i guess. I can't leave the house without my man bag though, it's a big effort trying to fit everything into my tight jeans and i need somewhere to store all my narcotics. Phase 1, boardies, t-shirt and bare feet .. yeti still have an appreciation of the arts, fine food and oh my favorite... fine wine. Phase 2, slim fit Lee jeans, tight fitting top (from memory i think you like this look halcyon?!) ...i like to dress it down though with thongs, the double plugger variety of course.Phase 3, ummm, i'm not sure there is one ~smirks~ I've been know to wear a suit and my trusty converse allstar shoes, maybe not stylish in most circles, however i feel comfortable... and man can i rip up the dance floor at weddings in sandshoes, oh yeah baby ... who's that guy!I know plenty of dags with style, LRE manages to pull off an australian wallabies jumper and bike shorts... only because he's an ultra cool guy though. ... thank me for the plug later LREdoes style matter when it comes to attraction? yes and no.

    I believe like for most things, it's all about balance. I am always in suits and dresses at work and hot cocktail dresses for corporate events and parties. But on certain days I just want to dress down and wear jeans and sundresses.For my preferred fashion in men, I think they have to dress appropriately for the mood and occasion. It also helps if your clothes suit your body size and personality PLUS the way you carry it. Even an expensive suit could be ill-fitting in some men and a plaid shirt could be hot and perfect in another man.Maybe just ask your fashionable lady partner for some fashion advice.

    How a person dresses only reflects their personal taste in fashion,as felonius said,it may not suit your style. Does it reflect their finer sensibilities?Perhaps... but how can you tell from a persons clothing ,hairstyle, makeup etc whether or not they have an appreciation for architecture,the arts or anything else.If they are wearing Armani or Chanel it simply says ''Hey I have an income that can afford this".It doesn't mean anything else is going on,just that they can afford to dress and smell gorgeous.It is certainly not an indication of their character or personality IMO. I have spent many years as a consultant in community arts and some of the most creative ,interesting people I know, wear second hand clothing,do they have style?Sure ,but it is a quirky and individual style....would you want to have sex with most of them Halcyon, probably not based on their ''style''. Does Bill Gates dress stylishly..hell no..do I find him sexy?...haven't met him or had a conversation with him so I really have no idea. When I meet someone it is really about them as a person,and how they think,their values,their emotional intelligence,if they dress well and smell good ,that is simply a bonus.

    I'm not sure but maybe i'm on another wavelength with this topic.   A person will always be themselves regardless of what they wear. Maybe are you asking do you like someone to make a bit of an effort with style sometimes.   Personally i don't mind any style...it just depends if i'm doing nothing or something specific.

    I like my man well-kempt, not necessarily sporting brand names, but just neat and tidy in terms of hair, clothing, shoes and general style. Rock your own style, but with style. For example, if you are a designer brands man then that's fine, but make sure you dont flaunt it like you think you are better than everyone else. Own your style. If you are a simple man and don't care for brand names and shop at Target, also fine. Just throw out your old clothes that look like shit.   And FFS, chuck on some deoderant (NOT Lynx - for the love of all that is holy NOT Lynx, unless you are between the ages of 12 and 16 there is NO EXCUSE!!!!) and some cologne and you're set. Not that hard or too much to ask, surely?!

    I mean.....it's the same as having a huge cock and not knowing how to use it - so what if you dress in the latest Hugo Boss suit, I personally could not give a tinker's curse.I actually think that it's downright judgmental.I know quite a few very (extremely) powerful and important people who, based on what they wear, you'd possibly think they were street urchins. Very dangerous to judge a book by its cover people......and narrow-minded My opinion though.Hanna xx

    As long as I can remember I've always been attracted to a woman with style, one who likes to dress to impress and not affraid to wear something that others may call too outrages. Myself, I appreciate the old saying that ' clothes maketh the man ' and I believe that. I can dress up or dress down but stay conscious that no matter what I wear' it needs to be acceptable once I leave the house.. I dont mind spending on quality clothes if its what I like.. and when I date, the comments are positive.. so I believe Im doing OK..I also believe a girl or guy can be just as stylish in a pair of fashion shorts and shirt / top. At home, I dress down just like everyone else.. at the moment with the weather warming up , it tends to be comfy shorts and tee with no shoes...

    I'm quite fond of trackie pants, wear them to the farm or around the house mostly. I have house ones and farm sets.The farm ones can often end up covered in grease, oil and dirt, or a nice pink colourfrom spray marker dye, or full of holes from climbing through fences or oxy sparks,and welding splatter.Surprisingly the sheep haven't petitioned me against wearing them yet.Think your being a bit harsh on Haywood keekee, all he is saying is he likes to be an individual,rather than one of the sheep. Good on him I say.Cheers Felonious

    i dont think 'style' has anything at all to do with armani suits, tag watches or fancy handbags at all..... to me 'style' is about being honest and confident enough to be yourself, regardless of what fashion might 'dictate'.... Shel has her own 'style'........... and thats 'sexy' regardless of what she may be wearing...my style has always been boots jeans and t's...but thats piss easy to dress up...or down, a jacket or a collared shirt changes the whole look....

    For me, it's not so much 'style' but wearing what is appropriate for the occasion. I'm hardly the type to wear a ballgown at home or while going out to pick up the paper, but when I know I'm going to go to a fancy restaurant I'm not going to turn up in a hoodie and my good old stretched trackies that look like an elephant skin on me. I wouldn't mind what a guy wore (other than socks and sandals, that is just a downright no) so long as it was appropriate. Someone who would turn up shabbily dressed to a restaurant not because he can't afford to but because he can't be bothered to indicates a lack of care about appearance and respect for the place that we're going to.

    As young Mick pointed out, goth and punk are accepted styles. To me it's more about carriage. A person's posture, bearing and manner create more of an impression on me than fashion. How often have you seen a young lady trying to carry off a look but failing miserably. A lovely dress or fashionable coat but she slouches or she is wearing high heels but she is unaccustomed to walking in them. She looks ungainly and unconfident. Whereas another lass might be in jeans, sneakers and a blouse but carry herself with more assurance. Courtious behaviour and diction is also high on my priorities.

    Hi! Halcyon_days Thanks for the topic Hun .. Oh! style means a lot to me .He doesn't have to be dressed to the 9s, but he needs to be clean and tidy.and generally looks after himself .. Never wear trackies druggy shirts. or thongs .to a 1st meet with me .YUK! The only exception is if I turned up unexpectedly he had been doing some renovating or something . where he'll get a bit untidy it's unavoidable .. I make the effort to present well so should he if he expects a 2nd Invitation to My place..I've found lazy dressers tend to be Lazy Lovers .I want a Guy I can enjoy Sexual Intimacy on an equal basis which means we both do our utmost to make it a very Naughty fun time.. a Lazy Lover is a wam bam thankyou mam kind I'm not Interested at all.. .Cheers Lu :)

    I love love love the feeling being aesthetically pleased – things, people, places that look, feel, smell even sound great. Yes, it seems to matter to me – If I’m not aesthetically pleased it may just be a deal breaker – I’m feeling it’s kinda complex Is it the aesthetic that is the style? What’s your style when you got nothing on? Confidence would then seem to be the ingredient so as to convey your natural style. Interesting …. Find this then, add props! – To a situation or to suit your multiple personalities. Me now:Electric blue hot pants and white tank with fluro 80’s shapes that’s too big and you can tie in a knot... So cool! So stylin haha.

The difference being that unlike velvet, velour is a knit, which changes the properties of the fabric rather dramatically and makes it highly stretchy, but still has that lovely thick, soft nap that makes it luxurious to the touch. This fabric's ability to stretch in this way is the reason it is often chosen for workout and casual wear, since it will give easily with the movements of the wearer. .... maroon or navy blue?

    Personally, style is important to me. Not just in the form of fashion, but also in the way a person holds themself, their gait, cleanliness, their home/possessions, their hobbies, and also how they perceive the world. I am a very stylish person - it's a completely natural lifestyle choice for me. I don't follow trends as such but have my own unique individuality. People get an idea of my personality from my clothes, home and vehicles. I'm a bit of an open book in that regard.   You see to me it is actually a form of self-expression - and that's one of my highest values. If my partner doesn't comprehend this, it's likely they won't "get" me.   I don't judge - I just understand we are all different. That's what creates contrast in this world.

    Having style, as felonious said, is as individual as attitude. I think that style for me personally depends on the occasion. I'm hardly going to dress in boardies and singlet if I'm going to the movies, unless its with the kids. When I was in school, we had to do a mock job interview with a prospective employer, I myself chose the local computer shop as I had been tinkering around and helping him build a few computers at the time. His advice "dress for your interview, as though you were turning up to work in that job." I've kept that with me ever since. Does it reflect respect for yourself and others?? I don't think so, but more to save a level of embarrassment that you're the sore thumb.

    wear ....mostly how you wear it....You can see woman walking in high heels and look divine (if she knows how to do it), or she can look absolutely terrible if she does not use them right.The same with any garment....It is mostly in the form that they are worn.....and the confidence and comfortable feeling that exudes by the way of walking and moving......I guess it is quite the same for guys.I do like dressing well and enjoy having a bit of flare (you could say)....and I really appreciate the same in a woman.So, in my eyes style does matter...It say a lot about the person.....who they are inside themselves and how they feel about it.And nothing more sexy than a woman undressing with flare and style

    If there is one thing I have learnt in life is to never judge a book by its cover. Some of the most intelligent people I have met dont have a degree, dont get style tips from their peers concerning the latest Hugo design, but display an incredible knowledge about art and culture.Clothes pay no part in that aspect.   Style is about how one carries themselves, confidence that radiates from within, confident enough to anounce to the world,"this is who I am, non- conformity and all!"   Everyone loves a rebel...I find risk takers sexy   But in saying that.......Having no self respect is a totally different matter alltogether.(daggy home clothes should remain that, couldnt live without my cut off trackies) .:p   It must be kept in mind that what you wear may offend other,s especially if they have gone to the trouble of inviting you.

    I believe it's the individual's energy and how they portray or more importantly project their energy, that's what we are attracted too... Some may label this as style... I am not sure... I have met some attractive people and over time they become less appealing... Whilst I now met and know many ordinary people who overtime become more appealing...The minority are blest both with inner and outer beauty.... And the majority (like me) have copped a couple of beatings from the ugly stick... lol But as long as you make the most of what the gene pool gave you... That's all that matters... Be true to yourself...Mrs Adds

    But I do love a bit of style.. For me it's retro. If you can find something cool in an Opp Shop, I'll think you're tops. To me, style is worked for and thought about. Not just taken of the shelf with your diners card.But It can be just as simple as how you wear your hair.

    The beauty of the human form is in it's uniquness and then we can apply our own individual bent on it...some have it and some don't. Personally I like a bit of style weather it be sleek and feminine or quirky and fun. As long as the person is comfortable and it all seems to work then that's great. I particularly like the ladies with class or that are happy to push the boundaries...try their own piece of non-conformism...

    ...something l have only ever done once and swear never to do it again.Got chatting with a man on another "vaniila" website. Sounded like quite a nice guy and his pictures were gawjus. Exchanged phone numbers and he asked me over to his house... he added it was a bit of a mess as he was renovating. No problem I said as we have all renovated at some time. I let him know I would bring over a bite to eat and suggested Japanese. Ok he said though hadn't had much of before. No problems I said. So l thought l would get something fairly neutral. I had showered and got myself ready for a night of laughter with a few tricks in my hand bag. Pulled in at the local Japanese restaurant and picked up my order. By this time I was feeling a little nervous though none the less confident.I pulled up to his house and yes you could clearly see he was renovating in and outside. A light turned on and out came my date........he was wearing blue brickies crack shorts. a faded Hawaiian shirt and yes... you guessed, the great Australian black bung thongs! Worse though his photo's were at least 10 years old and the poor love had not aged to well....Now I may of been raised on a farm but please......Anyway.... he greeted me with respect and I thought well l'm here, it can't get worse.We proceeded inside... The lounge room was about 20sqm and off that was the kitchen which was about 10sqm. As l scanned the rooms it was apparent the place hadn't been cleaned for about a year, Bless him though he had done the dishes that day as the sink area was the only clear place to be seen. The mega size plasma in the longeroom was blaring with an animal kingdom programme on. I placed the Japanese on the sink and thank heavens they were in the ready to eat out of trays with cutlery and napkins. Phew I thought! He opened the fridge and offered me a beer which I took. I had ordered him Teryiaki Beef with the typical Japanese condiments. Poor love had never had this cuisine before as it turns out and thought the cabbage salad was noodles. (OMG) well he didn't like it which is fair enough though I was enjoying my Tofu. He proceeded to throw his out then come and sit near me (l was sitting on one of those 60 style velour olive green sofas, which was an original I may add) and begun pulling out photos. Not any photos BUT photos of the inside of his stomach showing his ulcers and other lumps and bumps..........................I stayed another 20 mins needless to say.......As i was leaving though my bag fell open and a vibe rolled out oh lord!

    Some of the most stylsh people I know buy all of their clothes from op shops. I think an individual style is an external advertisement of that persons personality. What they choose to display to everyone else. You choose t wear what you do because it makes you look your best and allows you to be comfortable. It has very little to do with fashion. As a bg girl, I would love to wear some of the skimpier things you see skinny girls in, but would never bother because I know they wouldn't suit me.....plus I prefer to be comfortable than conform. Nothing worse than seeing a big girl wearing a tight skimpy top an jeans to small for her bulging all very the place...conversely wearing sacks that do nothing to help their assets. It is about taking some pre in your appearance and making an effort...it is an insult to your date if you turn up looking like you just rolled out of bed because they will think you didn't respect them enough to make yourself look presentable....having said that I wear track daks at home too!

    Style Is integral . The cut, fit and the way he wears his clothes will determine if he is worthy of a second glance. He needs to wear them with confidence and ease. Dear Universe, please grant me a clean shaven man that smells of Hugo Boss, was privately schooled in the Country, with a Ralph Lauren shirt, dark well cut jeans and a classic pair of Williams’s boots. Hi my name is Mere and I’m a superficial snob

    Style is something that cannot be bought. Class is something in the way a person carry's them self.I have seen women who wear $500 heels that look stylish ,but they cannot walk in them thus having no class.Being a Builder i am blue collar ,wear tradies clothes and smell like a piece of timber.I ride a bike thus i wear leather jacket riders boots and cammo pants for protection,no style or class but it protects me.When im going out i make an effort, i wear a suite and tie smell of "palmolive butter milk and honey " brush my teeth and try to look good for a lady.Guess what im trying to say is style and class is like the weather ,one day its sunny and the next day its raining.You cannot wear good clothes everyday some times you have to go ghetto!

    Hard to describe..I'd say style is 80% character 20% clothing. Wearing the right clothing for the right situation another important aspect.Don't have to be wearing expensive clothing to have style. I've had beautiful women wearing only torn denim shorts and singlets, covered in dust and dirt, helping me in the garden on hot Summer days. These women still exuded style.

    The way a person talks also shows their style.It's judgemental I know and they are probably wonderful women with hearts of gold but if they use a sentence such as, "Hey Luv, ya wanna fuck, I'm free fridee and saturdee''Hang me from the highest rafters but sorry, nothing makes me go limper quicker than a woman with poor grammar. (well maybe a woman with a strapon).

    Ive tried my butt off to find my own style but haven't quite got there yet. Partly lack of confidence (I was massively overweight), partly not having a clue what "matches" properly, and partly because I've often worked nights/weekends/crazy long hours and haven't had the time or inclination to figure it out.
