Jeans. Don't get designer jeans. Don't get them torn. Don't get them baggy. Regular or slim fit only. Get them in colors ranging from dark blue to blue/gray. Do not get light blue. If the jeans that suit you are designer jeans or more expensive than you would typically pay, do get them. Not only do you benefit from the fit, the girls recognise the brands. I judge the fit of the jeans that I buy by putting my keys/wallet/phone in my pockets when trying them on to make sure that the jeans fits properly in the typical conditions that I'll be wearing them. Also note that your jeans will stretch slightly as you wear them, but that is brand/material dependent. Do not get jeans that are too long. They should never, never touch the ground and they should cover 1/4 to 1/2 of your shoe laces when you are standing. To me it's more important that your socks (anklets only with low-cut shoes) or ankles can't be seen when sitting down than worrying about if they touch the ground. I'm short and have short legs, so I counter the length of my jeans by wearing slightly bulkier shoes. I make sure that I wear my favorite casual shoes (at the time) to double check this. How much of your shoe they cover is based on the cut at the bottom as well as the length. You should be able to at least see some shoelaces, and that's about it. Casual Shoes. Women notice shoes. Seriously. It's really interesting how much they look at your shoes. You can have everything else right, but if your shoes are big blocky white gym shoes, you have failed.... The good news is that you can crowd source style selection by looking at Zappos's most popular (http://bit.ly/bep8vN http://bit.ly/bep8vN). The golden rule of casual shoes is don't buy black. Black shoes are for suits. I personally prefer white or bright red as it breaks up the dark jeans and t-shirts that I usually wear. Crowd-sourcing your shoe selection is interesting, but you'll notice that Zappos most popular shoes were all low-cut retro shoes by Asics, Converse and Vans. If you find as nice/nicer shoes that didn't appear on that page when you're out and about shopping, get those before the crowd-sourced ones. Why? If the girls are paying attention to your shoes, they'll also be paying attention as to whether you are wearing something similar to the others or whether your shoes are very nice and something they haven't seen at all. Boots. I like my Cherry Red Doc Martens, but red is my favourite colour for shoes so I'm heavily biased with that choice.
