Dear Matt & Tamsen,
Are there particular clothes that drive men crazy? I have a great wardrobe for work, but my play clothes are a different story altogether.
In order to attract that amazing man of your dreams, it helps to dress in a way that tastefully showcases your beautiful body. As I always say, Men are Visual Creatures! He is going to be looking very closely and every inch of that body of yours! A high class man is very aware of what a woman puts into her wardrobe. He takes time to put thought into his, so should you. Remember the successful man in his 30’s and 40’s is looking for someone who dresses in a classic fashion. He is not someone who follows the latest “trends”. He is looking for a woman who knows how to dress herself in a tasteful and elegant manner. Nobody’s perfect! Each person needs to highlight a different part of their bodies. The secret is to focus on what you do have and to detract from what you don’t. Remember to only wear clothes that make the best of your unique shape. Too many women have embraced low-rise jeans and tank tops! This is not a good look for your late thirties and forties. Do not wear anything too provocative. Dressing provocatively often attracts the very guys a woman wants to avoid! Dress sexily but subtly. Your clothes should not say, "Take me home tonight!” Dress comfortably. When you feel comfortable, you look comfortable. When you feel comfortable, you feel confident, and confident, well dressed woman is sexy.
