Alright, I'm not going to comment on the last half of that wall o' text, since I agree. I might want to add that you can compare style with your taste of food, and I'm not going to elaborate that (if you don't get it, you might want to get some common sense before even going on forums).
I don't see your point in talking about confidence in a normal interaction when the thread is about style. When the first glimpse of you blasts confidence in the face of whoever sees you, then you show confidence through your style.
Also, advanced isn't a synonym for confident style. It's basically a synonym for an artist's bigger palette. Imagine Mystery without confidence. Would he have an advanced style? Yeah, he would. He looks ridiculous. Would he radiate confidence? Most definitely not. He would look like a clown on the loose.
And of course I question it. I question everything questionable, solely for the purpose of mutual clarity, mr alpha.

the questioning is good! I applaud the socratic method. I wasn't being sarcastic, I mean it.
I meant your use of confident style, not confidence in general when i use advanced as a synonym.
But this thread is not about inner confidence, its about options, if you were as confident as mystery you could peacock like that, but some people do just as well without the "confident style".
as far as style being like taste I agree, you like your own style and your congruence as well as confidence stem off your enjoyment of your garments.
So I ask of you this. For the type of person you are, if you want to elaborate, what do you wear to further show your inner confidence through style? This is not a guide for others, simply what you prefer. I cannot stand this vague philosophical discussion for all it does is cause circular logic, let there be discourse that actually gets somewhere,

Haha, alright. I gotta admit that the last part of your post is quite funny. And I'm going to provide you not one, two, three nor four tips for your style. I'm going to provide you a whole fucking series of videos (this is the small text you don't want to read anyway: i'm not involved in the videos in any way... blablabla affiliated.... not limited to, blablabla..."). I don't think there's anything about your style as in clothing or accessories, but there's lots on facial hair and grooming generally. www.youtube.com/user/AlphaMconsulting#p/u/20/buHGU-SmJpgI have told people to youtube him before, but yeah, now it's linked. I have a video of a few guys who style their hair in like 30 different ways in a few min, it's gold. I'll find it some day.

Brad P. has a fashion bible ebook. Prodigy. I think you style is too safe. You don't want to blend in and be labeled as an every day nobody nice guy. You need to show confidence in your clothes. Best way to do that is to accessorize. You need a bracelet, and necklace. Watches and rings look go too. They define you as well.

Alright I agree with the too safe comment only a bit, but I do wear accessories, I just don't wear mystery-esque bat gauntlets. I will be sure to make it more clear in the thread, it is hard to describe the idea that most things, even crazy clothes fashions, look good on most guys and that your confidence and what you wear is not directly related but you can wear clothes that accent your personality and presence more then normal.
If you have any online stores or any specific locales, post em up and when i get around to beefing up the article I'll be sure to add anything else you have to the accessory section.

Oh, btw, I have seen some really, REALLY nice white rings on the webz a few days ago. Lots the link though They're what, 1/4" wide with rounded edges with a polished (but not really shiny) finish. They look awesome! Could go well with a black one (they actually make black ones too >_>) on a finger right next to it. About $100 each though, so it's gonna wait a bit..

^ from that book the only thing that you can really pull from it is.
1. sexy sterotyping - dress to fit a certain sexy stereotype, doing so sterotypes you as sexy.
2. Color matching
ps. Was shopping on melrose last week baha.

Well since you can add on to this thread, I'd figure i would. Now these are just a few of my outfits. All really cheap. Also i hardly EVER use accessories unless theres some type of light blue in my outfit and I wear my class ring which has my aquamarine birth stone. __A___ Shorts : www.kohls.com/upgrade/webstore/zoom_popup.jsp?productId=845524892543351 Shirt options: Shirt 1: www.mainlinemenswear.co.uk/shopimages/products/normal/050%20ss08%20pics%2083%20071_thumb.jpgShirt 2: www.ralphlauren.com/contentPopup/index.jsp?productId=4098496 (my shirt is long sleeve, rounded neck and i roll up the sleeves) Shirt 3: White t-shirt White Belt ___B___ Short: oldnavy.gap.com/Asset_Archive/ONWeb/Assets/Product/555/555353/main/on555353-02p01v01.jpg?redirect=trueShirt 1 : www.logoprint.in/images/get/2556/def/Shirt 2: White t shirt.

You may think my style is too safe too. But you know what? It fucking works. I get compliments about my style from girls all the time. So i may not wear necklaces, anklets or what the fuck ever, but i look good in it and it gets the job done. YES, i buy clothes at American Eagle, Hollister and Buckle. You know why? The shit looks and fits good. Hell, I WORK at Hollister. But i don't wear hollister shirts and cargos and what not everyday. I never buy shirts that make me look like a walking billboard for any store. But will buy some nice shirts, plaids and cargos from those stores everyonce in a while. My best advice: If you have an older sister, go shopping with her, she knows style and she'll help you out. Or get some other girl. Unless you have completley freaked her out and doesn't want to even be in the same store as you....you will be able to find a girl to go shopping with you. Don't worry about becoming her shopping buddy, it won't happen unless you continuously go shopping with her. Oh and honestly, for some reason girls love white t-shirts and black collared shirts.
