What's wrong with tight pants, those are awesome. And I'd wear a tux to sherlocks, an alpha male is immune to social pressure. So what if you stand out, you want to make maximum social impact. I do agree though that you can go too far on peacocking and be a dancing monkey. Subtle things are the best. Just my thoughts.
And next time we go to locks I'll wear a tux for the hell of it ;)

Anyone can argue that this or that "will work for them." That's fine if it's true, but I don't think neither of the looks listed by you would work for you. What Prodigy listed here are well written general terms to go by. Everyone is a little different, and everyone has their own "style." This is to help those who don't exactly have the fashionable eye just yet. I don't think this needs to be lounge material, as it is a simple concept that needs to be tackled early on in a aspiring man's life.

Nice post...and coming from one of the best dressed guys I have met in the community. Prodigy might very well have the best style out of anyone.
Always try to be congruent with who you are. And if you don't exactly know who you are yet, well experiment. You will eventually figure out what you feel most comfortable wearing.
Even if you think you know exactly what you like to wear you should still try new things. You might find something that just rocks on you and gets you opened, compliments, etc. Plus if you are new or newer to the game you should definitely get out of your comfort zone. Wear something you never thought you would wear. I remember when I bought my first pink tie. I must have spent 30 minutes or more at the store. I was sitting there asking myself do I really want a pink tie. Am I confident enough to wear this. Let's just say that is now my favorite tie and I have many more pink ties now.
Also find a good tailor. Do as I say not as I do. I don't get any of my stuff tailored but I should. You can find a tailor who will work on your shirts and pants for like 10 bucks each piece or sometimes even less.
Nut Huggers: I would never personally wear these. One of my good friends who is a natural used to get all his pants tailored. He would get the inseam right up on his crotch. I thought it looked super homo but let me tell you this guy pulled. I would wager he has more SNL's than anyone in the community. Still don't recommend it though. He was very adamant about it though and said it worked. He said chicks would check out his crotch all the time.

i agree that you shouldnt let social pressure dictate what you wear, but i feel that you can have more social impact by other means rather than wearing something that stands out. if you want to have social impact, why not open and socialize with everyone? im sure you would get opened with a tux(or something equally outlandish), but i truly believe that it does more harm than good...
think about it, if you were in lower greenville and opened some chick wearing a prom dress and tiara only to discover that she did not come from some special/social event, but rather, just wearing it for the hell of it, what would you think? more than likely, that shes a little off, a bit WEIRD. i cant say for sure how a girls will interpret a guy wearing a tux to sherlocks just for the hell of it. maybe she might think youre carefree, cool and fun, but the majority will probably think youre a little bit off...is that what you want women to think when youre trying to game her?
as i said in my original post, it doesnt matter what everyone else thinks as long as you are comfortable and confident with what youre wearing. if you feel that your outfit will have no negative effect on your game, then by all means, rock it!

I agree here.
I think sometimes the message gets lost with peacocking.. All you are trying to do is display that you can withstand some social pressure and go outside the norm and be your own man. No women wants a douchebag that can't socially calibrate. I saw a dude wearing a lasertag vest all night at sherlocks awhile back. That's not peacocking. That's being an idiot. Sad thing is, I suspect he is part of the community, although I did not recognize him, and it was so bad, I did not want to even go talk with him to find out.
It can't be that far off from the norm or the message is lost that you know how to stretch boundaries, but rather you just don't know what they are.
