First impressions are very important, because we judge people almost instantly. It is vital that the first impression you give is a good one. You should dress to look modern and stylish, and not try to compete with teenagers or women in their early twenties. To look attractive you need to feel self confident, so follow these tips and you will be sure to attract a man.
Stand in front of a full-length mirror and look at yourself from head to toe. Is your haircut an old-fashioned style? Are you wearing the same make-up you wore in your twenties? Do you need a manicure or pedicure? Are you unhappy with your body shape? If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes' do not despair, you can remedy all of these situations and you will look stunning.
If you have been attending the same hairdressing salon for years, consider making an appointment with a new hairstylist. A new hairstylist will be more ready to modernise your style, because she will not have preconceived ideas of how you should look. Before you arrange to see a hairstylist, browse through magazines for inspiration and pay particular attention to the hairstyles of attractive women in your own age group.
A new hair color can look wonderful. Be subtle with your color change, so that your hair coloring looks natural and suits your skin toning. Foils or streaks will blend in with your own natural color and will hide grey hair more effectively.
Now that you have a lovely new hairstyle and color, it is time to purchase new make-up. When you visit the cosmetics counter, ask the assistant for advice before choosing your new make-up. Many department stores have samples of various cosmetics that you can try before you buy. You may be surprised at the difference a slightly lighter or darker shade of foundation, powder, lipstick and eye shadow can make to your overall appearance.
You may wish to have your face made-up by a beauty therapist. This is not an indulgence, because if you watch her carefully you will be able to copy her techniques, when you are applying your own cosmetics.
Your hands are always on display and if you are planning to wear sandals or open-toe shoes, so are your toes. Nicely shaped and polished nails are attractive to men. There is no need to match the color of your fingernails with your toenails. Toenails look lovely painted in a dark shade of red, whereas you may prefer a more natural look for your fingernails.
Underwear can make all the difference to your appearance, so be sure that your bra and panties fit. It does not matter what size your breasts are, provided your bra fits properly. Have your breast measured before you purchase your next bra. You may be surprised to discover that you have been wearing the wrong size bra.
Purchase panties to suit your body shape, as well as your size. Ask the lingerie assistant for advice on the most suitable underwear to suit your body shape. To feel attractive you should always match your panties with your bra. You may be the only one to see them, but you will feel more sexy and attractive when you wear matching underwear.
Shop for clothes in a different store to the one where you have been shopping. If you shop in a large department store, try looking in a different section than the one where you usually choose your clothes. Be open to trying on clothes that look different from those you normally wear. You may look beautiful in a style that differs from your usual type, so be daring and take a risk.
Find an assistant in your own age group, and preferably with a similar body shape to you, and ask her for advice. Sales assistants have an up-to-date knowledge of what is fashionable, and a good sales assistant will be able to help you choose the right garments for your shape, size, and age.
Now all you have to do is enjoy yourself when you are out. Looking your best and feeling pretty will give you confidence. A happy self-confident person always looks attractive. Surprise your male friends, when they see the new you. Well groomed, and beautifully clothed, you will look stunning, and very attractive to men.

All we want is sex.
That entire inbred survival by spreading your seed far and wide.
Evolution you just can't escape it.
for me at least, it's more about how a woman carries herself than what she's wearing.
are you good today
i'am hcin 26 years old
i' from tunisia
Dress the attract the guy you want.
are a very popular wear , and I agree they are practical, but with the current style it is hardly flattering when the person behind them is exposed to the cleavage of their rear end. Tailored jeans are attractive, but with todays attitude of
"who cares", it certainly defines whether she is a lady or just a woman. Ah, for the good ol' ways. studecar
Please look at the positive angle of this article
I think all woman over 40s and nearly 50s like me
wants to look different, it is time to spoil ourself
looking fresh, younger, beautiful and fabulous!
No need expensive treatment or expensive outlook
Just make something different, changing style
like grow longer hair or trim shorts, dyed with different colours
More body exercise and reduce the extra weight will
helping boost our confidence
Dare to wear bright colours for clothes,
Healthy life style and live with a positive mind and atitude.
Sure this will bring a fresh change to an old person
I know this was a while ago , so any way, quite frankly I would rather be in my Garb German style , and I do travel over sea,s dressed quite differently, more in keeping with my history. and how I like those clothes,
In many ways because of my facial features those clothes make a big difference in my look I'm not pretty so if I try to be and have more frilly styles I look silly and stupid, so doing all that has been said is okay for some one who has those looks to compliment them selfs I just find I'm just myself and as we say what you see will be what you get no frills just a basic hard working woman ,

I think updating one's appearance --- male OR female -- is a small sacrifice if it will attract a mate.
I always dress to please myself, and if a man doesn't like my style then that's his problem! I don't have money to buy new clothes, get pedicures and manicures etc etc etc. It's just me...what you see is what you get! Sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to go out and buy some nice clothes.....clothes that would suit my personality, but then when it comes down to it, it's surely our personality that is the most important thing, not our clothes and nail colour!
I have, just out of curiosity, watched some of those Gok Wan programs where he supposedly makes women feel better about themselves. I can understand where he is coming from, but at the end of the day, it is all artificial, and often very impractical! I live in the countryside, and am very much an outdoor person...how could I waddle around all day in high heels with unsuitable clothes on, and afraid to get a hair out of place! Looking glamourous is ok for special occasions, but for normal days, it's just silly! (just my humble opinion of course )
I dress how I like. I wouldn't be seen dead in most of the stuff women over 50 are supposed to wear.
I have a youthful general appearance even when naked. Don't understand why I should look like lamb dressed as mutton because my age doesn't match my body type appearance.
Sod the rules and what society thinks!! BTW I hace a 26 year old daughter and we often swap clothes and shoes. Although there are some things of hers that are beyond my borrowing and things of mine she wouldn't be seen dead in!!
Obviously its talking about the Female of the Species , in this case , but the most attractive part of someones dress sense is class , not what they dress like , that helps in a small way ,, but iff theyve got class ,, AND i aint talkin money , or dress sense ..Ive seen PIGS IN SUITES , PIGS ON CAT WALKS .
No offense to the Author ,, maybe im out of order but to me clothes may help in some way i agree ,, but like i said ,, lovely clothes on a Pig is a waste ..

Most women fully realise that men are not very aware of fashion, styles, colour matching and contrast. Hell every woman at one time or another wishes that her man could see her and tell her he does.
For any of you that look at 'GOK' on tv, the real basis for dressing well is to have that powerfull and confident self image.Every one of his girls come alive with his urgings to see themselves as attractive. They all focus on what they dont like, boobs,or bums.After he helps them see the positive the problem areas disappear.
Often spoken: men is the predator and women the pray.
Not true !
In fact is on the other way around. Women developed charming technics that cannot be compared with any men's technics.
All these technics are useful to build a charming network...
Like a spider, you girls can simply nail a man that easy.
So this is a good lead to change your atitude
Stop being the pray and become the predator.
Most men care little about themselves and have unrealistic expectations of women. As for women: are you turning into discomfort slaves so just to satisfy men?
