Wear good clothes, e.g. a good shirt and a tie. Probably you should ask some girls what clothes they like a man to wear or you should go clothes-shopping with a female relative or a female co-worker. Important note: A lot of women pay a lot attention to SHOES. Don't wear those clothes at all costs even when they are inappropriate or don't suit you. Example: Don't wear a tie and your new shoes while swimming. OK, this is an exaggeration, but imagine yourself going bowling and you wear beautiful but uncomfortable clothes that make you sweat? Or going to the movies with a Hawaiian T-shirt. On the other hand (since you are looking for a girl-friend anywhere) dress well whenever and wherever you go. You...

Most of us are required to dress up for work five days a week. Sure, it is nice to wear fine clothes as you tend to feel good about yourself when you are wearing a suit or a new dress that you love. However, at times and especially when we are relaxing at home in the evenings or just hanging around the house on the weekend with family and a few good friends, it is also nice to let our hair down a bit and wear some clothing that we are comfortable in and that are actually fun to wear.   Most of us love wearing our favorite worn jeans and a  T shirt at home. Maybe you have a few movie T shirts in your collection that remind you of some of your favorite flicks. If you are a 'trekkie' and have every...

The same way most pregnant women dream of the day when they will begin showing for wearing maternity clothes, some women have the false misconception that they will be able to wear tight jeans and other apparel suitable for models or slim women shortly after birth.

Apart from your abdominal muscles, all your body needs to regain tone, and it is more likely that you will not be in shape for the first three postpartum months.

I was recently talking to a friend about how I like to shop for clothes online. During the course of the conversation, we realised that the two of us had a very different approach to shopping in this way. This came as something of a surprise to me. I guess I'd always assumed that we all use the Internet in a very similar way when it comes to making purchases. But this is very clearly not the case. Thinking about it, this probably should have been obvious to me before. After all, a whole industry has sprung up around the need to analyse the way in which consumers behave. So how do you shop the clothes online? Do you even use the Internet to make such purchases? It seems natural to me that people...
