A note on textures and fabrics for the gentlemen

[Fundamental Law 2,885]

It’s a truism in the LS that the women commonly out-dress the men. There are some excellent basic posts here that have stood the test of time, but, a couple of additional points.

 

If it’s a theme night, and the gentleman takes the time to join his lady dressing in theme, others notice. Couples that are thoughtful and creative enough to dress in theme together have already shown the world that they are in sync with each other and support each other. Yes, if it’s a theme night, we’ll work to complement—and compliment—each other.

 

If we’re just “dressing to impress”, textures, fabrics, and layers matter. It’s not just how they drape. It’s that a potential playmate is going to feel what you are wearing. Whether it’s a hug, a touch on the arm or thigh, or those initial moments of intimacy as the clothes come off, clothes will be seen and felt. Not only do gauze, silk, cashmere, and leather look different—they feel different. Ladies notice these things. Any gentleman who has accompanied his lady while shopping for clothes knows just how much she responds to how fabrics feel.

 

Invite your lady to pick out your outfit to complement hers. Better yet, invite her to shop together. She know what looks good on you as well as—and likely better—than you do. Putting the outfits together with her is an expression of affection.

 

It’s important to her that she have a “sharp-dressed man” on her arm. After all, you’re the one she’s going home with at the end of the evening.

Not only did I like your post and agree with its sentiments, your use of the word "complement" in the correct context is noted and appreciated.
