The Man's Outfit For A Successful Date

If she is good enough for a date, she is worth caring about your attire.

The Man's Outfit For A Successful Date

Fashion is an ever-changing topic. It moves every day to something new, different and sometimes moves backwards to an older time. To me, style and clothing options are a pretty neat opportunity we have to express ourselves. I have my personality, my hobbies and my beliefs that people can see as they witness what I do and how I behave every day, yes. However, what I wear, how I dress up, how I have those ‘scrub days’ and how I present myself is a whole different aspect to how one may see Ben Carril.

So, this is going out to all those guys who think since they are a male human they don’t ever have to think about what they wear. To those ‘dudes’ and ‘jocks’ who take their lady out to dinner while wearing a football jersey or the same color/shade of shirt as shorts.

To all the guys who think that high-rise Nike socks with shorts is okay for a first date…I have to say, that pretty lady will be disappointed. When we call a woman and ask her out on a date, we mean business, right? We are sending her a special signal saying, “Hey, I think you’re pretty neat. I want to drive you to a restaurant and pay for your dinner.”

Therefore, guys, we need to show her that she is special. If she is good enough for you to pick her up and take her out, she is good enough for a nice, cleaned up man. The stereotype for about ages 16-20ish seems to be chill, khaki’s with high socks, Vans skater shoes, a graphic shirt and maybe even a backwards hat.

I am a fan of all of those clothing options…except the high socks with the shorts, those are from the devil himself. However, I still highly disagree with this outfit unless you’re taking her to a skate-park in Miami. You're not going there? Perfect. Let’s start over. You’re going to dinner and a movie. Okay, good choice. Now, it is summer, so it’s hot. Well grab those khaki pants – now you can wear those silly high Nike socks if you want, I don’t care – and look into a nice button up shirt or polo. The color is HUGE, guys. With khaki pants you probably should look into a darker, accented color like blue, red, white, or if you want to be a little dark you can do black. Guys, if the date is somewhere nice, please tuck your button up shirt in. Show the people you can be a classy date for the pretty lady. Plus, tucking your pants in just gives you some confidence, which is definitely needed. So, tucked in shirt, match the shoes with your belt – either black or brown. Don’t go crazy with blue and red belts. And NO WHITE PANTS. It’s not the Fourth of July and you’re not Justin Bieber.

Once you've got your belt all matched up with the shoes, look into a watch. Watches are the extra frosting around the edge of the cake. It has to match your belt or shoes. Black belt? Silver watch, gentlemen.

Here comes the home run ball. Get that hair looking fresh. If you normally allow your hair be a moving birds nest, call your fashionable friend, PLEASE. Hair will knock a woman back to the fifth grade when she used to admire her Edward or Jacob "Twilight" poster on her ceiling.

Hygiene. A few extra deodorant swipes, guys. Especially in the summer. Then, some nice cologne from your dad’s closet. Only 2-3 spritzes are needed. I’d recommend Curve, Drakkar Noir and anything else that you cannot pronounce. Brush your teeth and use mouthwash before you pick her up.

Now, you are ready to take on the world. By that, I mean pay for a woman’s dinner and movie ticket. You’re dressed as a classy gentleman who cares about his appearance. All you have left is to impress her with your stunning and glowing personality. Then starts a beautiful and always confusing thing called a relationship, which no man can ever say he understands completely.

Thank you, and good luck in the battlefield, men.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
