Inspired by the pithy wisdom of a recently discovered fellow blogger, Kara, I decided to dispense some fashion advice for women. I'm no expert, but I can judge what looks good and what looks stupid. This isn't about what to wear to work or what makes you feel good to wear, this is all about what guys find attractive on women.

Get rid of those high heeled shoes with the long pointy toes. That went out with Santa's Elves. I imagine heels are hard enough to walk in already, why make it tougher by adding an extra couple of inches to the front? Not only is it not practical, but it just looks dumb.

No shawls, no panchos. I don't know who thought that dressing like 80 year old women would be a good thing for women's fashion, but that person is wrong! There's only one thing that shawls and panchos are good for, and that's turning an attractive woman into an unattractive women. Forget putting on a fake wedding ring to avoid being hit on in bars, just wear a shawl or pancho, no guy will talk to you unless they are really desperate or like OLD women.

Personally I don't like off the shoulder stuff. By that I mean shirts and dresses that hang over one shoulder and swoop down without going over the other shoulder. Maybe I just have a problem with assymetrical clothing, but I've never liked that look.

French-style pedicures look dumb. Just get yourself a solid shiny color, or even those decorations girls like to put on are cool, but not the French style (same for American style). On the other hand, I love french or american manicured nails. I even like long acrylic ones, but I don't like them when they are so long that they curl and look like claws. That's creepy looking, and it seems like it would be ahrd to accomplis anything with your hands with those on. It also seems like it might be really painful for your man.

I miss the tight black pants era. Back in 1998-2001 or so, just about every girl wore tight black pants to go out partying. I loved it! Bring 'em back, and don't forget the tight white pants, those work quite well, too.

Don't show off your midriff unless it's worthy of showing off. I see a girl with a beautiful face and I decide to go talk to her, but then I notice her midriff is showing rolls of fat hanging over her belt, I'm repulsed and I don't talk to her. I don't expect women to have perfect bodies, god knows I don't have a perfect body, but I'm also not going to walk around showing off my worst parts for all the world to see. Honestly, I really don't mind a girl having a little something extra, sometimes it's quite nice, but to go out of your way to show the world that you have rolls of fat hanging over your belly? That just seems stupid.

And for god's sake, don't try to look like Christina Aguilera in her super-trashy days. She was completely sexy, but then she started dressing like a whore, not just skimpy, but looking like a cross between a hobo, George Clinton, and a peacock, and it was not attractive in the least. Then again, the Paris fashion shows are considered the height of fashion and I rarely see anyone wearing clothing as ugly and unflattering as what I see in the coverage of those shows.
