Fashionista.

I have always enjoyed the world of fashion. My restrictions in personal attire are actually based on finances rather than taste. I'd wear a three piece suit day in day out if I had the means to afford a multitude of suits. I'm always quite capable of deciding what looks good on a woman, and what doesn't.

By their very nature, women have a much more keenly tuned fashion sense then men. It's practically genetically programmed into them to know how to attract a mate with their looks. It doesn't always need to be glitz and glamour, but know what looks good for your body type is usually the first step. I've been attracted to women of all shapes and sizes simply because they knew how to dress with the body they had. The nuances of this science are far too varied to go into specifics, but I'll try to explain a few things that I've found very effective in women's fashion, and which things are total flops.

First off, pajama pants. I was in high school during the phase where girls wore these pants to school, along with those Ugg boots. The look was suppose to be comfortable, but it came across as lazy and frumpish. Now I actually find pajama pants cute, when worn about the house. A women rolling out of bed, hair in a pony tail in an old t-shirt and pajama pants is actually alluring in a strange, familiar way. This isn't an excuse to lounge about in them all day, but it's certainly not a terrible sight to wake up to.

On the mention of Ugg boots, I feel obligated to mention that I don't find Uggs or Emus, Crocs or any other manner of oversized footwear to be attractive. I can understand the comfort component, but not unlike when I go a few days without shaving it's important to understand the message that gives. If you don't care, that's fantastic, but don't assume they're cute or sexy. They're not, and are no more appealing than rubber boots.

Footwear doesn't need to be stilettos and straps. I understand that running shoes are comfortable, and that's okay too. If you do want to dress in something a little more upscale, leather has always had a place in my heart. Coloured leather flats with a simple pattern stitched in looks very dressy, but can maintain a professional look. Square toe is going to be more comfortable if you're on your feet all day, and from a man's point of view is just as appealing as those pedi-crushing-pointers. Now, on a personal note I'm a sucker for stilettos. I don't just mean heels, I mean full out railroad spikes affixed to a 45 degree sole that would aerate asphalt. Really more of a personal preference, and it's not for all guys.

Jewelry is fine, but understated says a lot. Large hunks of steel, plastic and glass for necklaces and earrings do not sway us to your whims. Instead its like adoring a Christmas tree in broken billiard balls and odds and ends from the workshop. Simple earrings with delicate necklaces are more likely to draw our eye in closer for a look, and ultimately to the good looking girl who wears them.

The debate between pants and skirts is pretty old, and I can safely say that men don't really care. We don't want to see your butt crack, but at the same time a nice feminine fit for pants can help show off your curves. If you're more of a full figured woman, avoid ill fitting pants and use more skirts and dresses. Not only can they hide particular angles you may not be flattered with, but if you're among the curvy category a well fitting skirt can actually accentuate your hips and draw a nice line around them. Big hips need not be grounds for concern when they act as means to sashay your skirt left and right. A definite plus says this fellow!

Finally, tops. I've always been jealous of the vast and varied range of women's clothing options, and a good portion of this is in your shirt choices. Cleavage, it's the stuff of fantasy and allure, but there's a time and place for it. One must not always show off skin in order to stay sexy. While comfort is paramount, it's also important to dress like a lady. Boy-style t-shirts with logos and prints might be comfortable, but if you're going out to work, or out on the town wear something girly. Guys don't want to risk running into a girl wearing a shirt they could potentially own. Again, a good fit with bright colours is going to really set off the whole ensemble. Halter tops are a good way to stay cool in the summer, show off a little shoulder but still stay appropriate. Peasant shirts with a pair of tan slacks (perhaps with a unique lace-up feature along the front, side or back) really looks cute and keeps things fun.

As for colour, that's pretty open. There are some colours I find don't work well with certain women, but it's impossible to make a blanket statement. The colours we wear immediately send messages about our moods, personalities and goals. Keep this in mind the next time you want to wear all black to work. While it can come across great with some outfits, worn wrongly it's going to give you a Morticia Addams quality which is best left for the club scene.

Asked directly I could always give my two cents about what someone's wearing. I'm fairly "flamboyant" in that regard, but I don't mind. It's like appreciating good art, or commenting on the weather as far as I'm concerned. It's about knowing what looks good, and what looks like a storm's a-brewin'.

In summation, you can wear whatever you want and people are going to have either pithy comments or give glowing accolades. It's how much either of those two things matter to you that will sway your decision to wear leopard print or lace.
