Imagine... being able to delve into the minds of young eligible bachelors and find out what exactly rocks their socks.
Imagine... no longer needing to fret over what to wear on a date, knowing exactly what men want to see you wearing.
Imagine... no more!! For I give to you - Straight Eye for the Straight Girl! - straight guys give you the low-down on their individual lists of the 5 outfits that set their heart racing.
This series will be running over a number of weeks, and the first young man we have for you today is none other than...
me.
Simply because the other dudes I have commissioned for this noble task are still not ready to unleash their top fives.
Before I begin, I am obliged to emphasize that in no way do the lists represent the collective or perhaps even majority opinions of the male race. A lot of men prefer minimum clothing, but we're not like that ;D. Thus, the following is purely the writer's personal opinion and should not be construed as authoritative.
Alright... it's partay time! Following tradition, I present to you...
The 5 Outfits I Think Ladies Look Fantastic In
A Crisp White Fitting Shirt with a Pencil Skirt
In my world, there is absolutely nothing that blows the mind more than a sophisticated lady in a tailored pencil skirt and a crisp clean white shirt. Nothing. Paired with black patent leather pumps, this is one outfit that'll really get mens' hearts pumping (pun intended and emphasized).
An Emerald Green Satin Dress
This luxurious satin green emerald dress simply exudes class and sophistication in the most understated of ways. As beautiful emerald green is, you don't see a lot of women sporting the color. Thus, this is currently a top choice for any woman who wants to stand out in a crowd.
A White Dress
A simple white dress should be a staple in every woman's outfit. No other outfit has the equal propensity of being able to transform the average woman into a pure, alluring neo-goddess. The dress should be minimally detailed and constructed from light cotton/silk.
Summer Dress
By now you may have noticed that I really like women in dresses.
The summer dress is essentially an outfit you can go crazy in and still look elegant - spice it up with a belt and white gold earrings, enhance it with open toe slip ons and matching bangles - do whatever makes you feel light, confident and carefree as every woman should in the summertime. Opt for light pastel shades and avoid over-flamboyant designs.
Jeans + T-Shirt
There is probably no straight man on the planet who doesn't like the look of a girl in a pair of nice slim jeans and a fitting white top - simple, clean and chic.

dude, i'd suggest leaving your email out of your blog, or at least typing it out like rudicheu {at} hotmail; leaving your full email add in there is an invitation to spambots and moroccan gay sites (that's a story for another day)
barry: great tip! thanks ;)
Eh eh... A must in a girl's wardrobe is the LBD; little black dress. Not an OTT green dress!! Green doesn't work for everyone!!
You are so biased... You pick the green dress because of the model. Admit it you straight guy!! =P
nanisalleh: :)
First off, I must say I was pleasantly surprised to discover this after one of my friends requested for some help into remaking his entire wardrobe. This blog has helped with some of the persuading I needed to do.
Secondly, I'm also pleasantly surprised to see a post devoted to the ladies as well.
However, I must say that I agree with nanisalleh--emerald green doesn't flatter all skin colors. In addition, satin is a tricky fabric to wear because of the way it reflects light. If the ladies understand how wearing light shiny lip glosses makes lips look fuller, the same theory works for light-colored satin because it can distort the body shape. Even if it looks great in the fitting room, the outfit may not look so flattering in photos due to the flash.
This is not to say you should give up on satins--it's a lovely fabric with a wonderful texture. A safe way to start is with dark: dark colors by nature tend to absorb light (instead of reflect) so even with the sheen it may not distort as much (black satin is gorgeous). In addition, satin is a great accent in multi-textured outfits.
When shopping, an overall guideline is to bring a friend with a good eye along or ask for the sales person's opinion if you like what he/she is wearing. Also bring a camera with a flash if you're concerned about photos.
I believe rudi likes how the form and color of the dress flatters the model so well. It's cut to accentuate the curves, legs, and back, while leaving the rest to your imagination. The color flatters her skin tone and overall coloring. The satin's reflection is well-controlled by the photographer but keep in mind she's most likely smaller in reality than in the photo (so other textiles may not look so great on her). And it helps that she's gorgeous.
Lastly, ladies in red are the classic eye candy. Red is a definite eye catcher and there is a shade out there that flatters every skin tone. You just have to find it.
Bottomline, men and women like what's tastefully flattering to your own body shape and color. Just start from there.

We're in complete agreement about the white shirt and pencil skirt.

This is an old post but still saying this..
The jeans+T-shirt girl isn't wearing any bra (actually with a little photoshopping i managed to see her nipples), so that definitely is the best outfit!
