Dressing to Attract

[Sinatra]

I have been on a mission to update my clothes. I have got new shirts for just about all occasions.
I now need to get a new pair of shoes. I have even look at GUCCI, but at $400 dollars a pair make it out of the question. I am considering black as the color and soft leather uppers. Any Ideas on what direction I should go?

cole haan and kenneth cole both make some nice shoes for a lot less. I would go to nordstroms and check out what they have - they have nice shoes ranging from under 100 - thousands. You'll find what you want there

TheDoGhoUse is right on. You can also check out Aldo. They are cheaper as well (<100) and nice looking.

Dress Like a Big Boy
How to dress like a guy she wants to be with

Dissect Your Best Clothes
You have one blazer you always wear? One pair of jeans you abuse like hell while others go untouched in your closet? Take your clothes to a fine tailor and ask why you like those particular pieces of clothing, says Castaneda. Write down all the characteristics. Armed with this information, you can buy only from designers who emphasize the exact traits you need--no who expensive trial and error.
Pick a Name
And stick with it. Every designer--Hugo Boss, Joseph Abboud, Armani, Zegna--cuts his suits, shirts, and pants a little differently. Talk to the tailor about what will look best on you, try them on, and then sign on for life.
Test-Drive Your Closet
You should have two well-tailored, perfectly fitting outfits for romantic ventures that require looking like you care. These should be the finest-made, most stylish clothes you own (i.e., the ones that make you feel most confident). For backup, have at least four other perfectly fitting outfits that create different looks--and make you feel just as confident. build, don't copy Most men, says Castaneda, have a closetful of duplicates--11 copies of roughly the same shirt, trousers, socks, ties, everything. It's a waste. Each time you eye a piece of clothing, make sure it's high quality and a significant addition to your wardrobe. Unless both are true, you should save your money for something that is.
Never be Trendy
Women don't want trendy men. Develop a style that's your own.
Own 3 Tees
Buy fine Egyptian-cotton T-shirts in dark colors, like gray, navy, and maroon. These eye-catching T-shirts are dressy, and wearing them under a shirt or jacket will add style to your look, says Castaneda.
Have a Backbone
These five components form the spine of a well-built wardrobe, says Castaneda.

One staple suit. It must fit you with utter perfection, and it should look better than the suits you wear to work.
A navy gabardine three-button jacket. Wear it all year, with anything.
Dark khaki pants. Choose classy, all-purpose pants. Pair them with your navy jacket.
A crisp white shirt. Instant class for any outfit.
Three pullovers. Buy them in chambray, fine wool, or finely woven polyester or rayon.

Consider Going Custom
It costs more to have a fitted shirt. It's worth $100, too. Women--especially ones who wouldn't normally speak to me--notice.
Shop Aggressively
Go to high-end manufacturers' sample or outlet sales, advises Castaneda. Make strategic strikes and fill your closet with quality.
The Goddess is in the Details
Women notice subtle expressions of confidence and know-how. They notice that you don't wear pleated pants, because you know plain-fronts look better on almost any man and make you look slimmer. That you wear dress shirts without pockets on dates, because they're more stylish than your work shirts. That once in a while you pair a vertically striped shirt with a horizontally striped tie, just because you can. If you can manage these subtleties, she reasons, you are a man in command.

Just as an after thought. Saks and Macy both have an outlet store at Grapevine Mills.

Fixed.

You missed a very scary/very true point as well at the very end.
