Two points that I want to reiterate:
-BLACK shoes equals BLACK belt. BROWN shoes equals BROWN belt. If you are in doubt about things matching find a gay friend. Seriously. Gay men have the best taste in clothes (just make sure you actually do still look straight)
-Yeah, now that I think of it, the Reefs thing definitely wouldn't be good on a date, unless it's an outside thing or something. But I'm still sticking to my preppy frat boy look! Yum, southern men!
And PotentialPledge... Seriously, just be yourself. I mean, dress nice for you. The look that completely melted my heart was when my (now ex) boyfriend came to pick me up on our second date in an Abercrombie sweater and khaki-colored pants...they were linen, though... his mom tried to advise against it (it was December), but he didn't listen. One of my other favorite outfits that one of my exes wore once was these black and white plaid pants and a black tight t-shirt (raarr!). He stopped me as we were walking to class and asked if it was all right (I could barely mutter a "yes," my heart was beating so fast!). Don't fake it, but try to base on the girl. If I came on a date with a little halter J. Crew dress on, and the guy was wearing one of his faded frat t-shirts, jeans, and reefs, I'd be pretty insulted... even though I love that look when the guys are going to class. (Can you tell I'm not in school right now and missing my frat boys?!)
On another note (I'm sorry, I'm rambling, but you've combined two of my greatest loves: guys and clothes) I sat at a bar one night with one of the Sigma Chi's, and we were talking about what the guys around us were wearing that wasn't appropriate (it was about midnight and one of the guys had his sunglasses on hanging from Croakies! I mean, yes, I love that during the day... but at a BAR?!). We talked about what made jeans good jeans, and what made jeans bad jeans (y'all, I don't know about where y'all are from, but here carpenter jeans went out about 3 years ago!) when it's appropriate to wear a sorority's t-shirt (we spotted a guy wearing a Mallard Ball shirt... that screams "Hey, look, and ADPi liked me so obviously I'm good enough for you... right?" NOT appropriate at a bar... around campus, definitely, but not at a bar) I know it sounds mean and shallow, but get one of your girl friends to sit with you and play "fashion police" if you need them to. We know what we like. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Sigma Chi and I weren't doing this mean-spiritedly at all. He just was wondering what I thought guys should wear. My friends tease me because I'm SOOOOOO picky about what a guy wears. But, then again, most girls aren't as much, so don't worry!!!
Anyway, enough rambling... Good luck on your dates to come!!!!
And remember: BROWN belt, BROWN shoes... BLACK belt, BLACK shoes!

I was giving him some advice because someone mention something about clothes from structure and i kinda gave him a picture of UF frat boys. WE are NOT Southern sweety. I can't handle the stress with southern women. Too many traditional things you have to do for them. I know you are picky but like I said in a PM, regardless of what i would wear, I'd still get your cell number by the end of the night and have something lined up in the days to follow. I'll elaborate in a PM babe. *smiles*
