Get excited, guys, the time has finally come. It's time to inform our girls on the thoughts we have on the clothes they wear. Now, I've probably already pissed off any girl that happens to read this. All I can say is that this is simply my opinion, and is not shared by all guys out there. (probably 96%, but whatever) And yes, I am completely aware that you're not trying to impress guys with every piece of clothing you put on. I completely understand that. We'll simply be discussing the outfit choices that obviously took some time to get ready. I am also aware that some girls can look good in anything. My final preface to this topic is that all girls are different. I know this. Height, build, skin tone, and even attitude can and do play major roles in our thoughts. (which I'm not saying you should care about)
We're gonna start with the obvious: shoes. Heels with jeans is not cool. I know it lengthens your legs and makes you a little taller, but we're just not digging it. I feel like some skin needs to be shown when wearing heels, even if it's just to mid-calf. There is, however, a limit to skin shown. Heels + short skirts = a bit scandalous. Heels are best worn with long to medium-length skirts. I'm not sure what they're called, but I'm also not a big fan of those heels that have ties that go around your ankle pretty high. Maybe it's just because it's new, but I don't like them. Shoes are obviously not my strong point, so I'll wrap this up. Flat shoes are the way to go. It doesn't matter if you're short. It's cool, we're ok with that. Just keep it simple, sandals are great. Make your shoes match your personality, and get something comfortable. All shoes really do is enhance your clothes, which I'm about to get into.
Pants have come along way these past few years, and I hate it! Honestly, if it was up to me, yall could wear jeans everywhere. You can, however, choose incorrectly on your jeans. Now I know there are is a ridiculous amount of styles of jeans, and it's hard to find a pair that fits right. I don't understand why women's jeans come in one number sizes. It doesn't make sense. No wonder it's so hard to find a pair. I mean, you find a pair that fits your body, but they're too long or short. They just assume that if you wear a 10 then you're taller than someone who wears a 8, which is obviously not always true. You buy the jeans that are just a little too long and get them hemmed, which is just a pain in the ass. With that being said, here's what I think you should consider when shopping for jeans. First of all, jeans that are too loose look weird. I'm not saying you should use pliers to put them on, they're just not made to be worn all baggy like that. It messes up your whole look. You don't see much of this, so if you think they're tight enough, they probably are. You should also consider how high on the hip they come. This is VERY different from girl to girl. Too high is no good, and too low is skanky. There is a happy-medium on every girl. I would say right at the hip bone is a good aiming point. As far as wide-bottom leg thing goes, I'm a fan of either. Colors are important as well. I feel like darker jeans are a bit more formal, and lighter jeans are for every day wear. I will touch on this subject with more detail in Part III of this series.
My personal favorite for girls pants is cargo-pants. I don't know why, I just love them. They have that casual "I don't care" look, yet they look good with a number of tops. That's just a personal thing, so I'll move on. Cargo-pants should all be thrown into a fire. Again, this is simply my opinion. I'm sure there are guys out there that like them, I just haven't met one. I don't mind them nearly as much now as I did when they first came out, so that's good. If you must wear cargos, don't wear jean cargos. Atleast wear some cacky ones or navy or whatever. Just don't wear jean cargo pants. I think half the battle of making capris look decent is the shoe you wear with them. I'll touch on this later. Maybe they'll grow on me over time, we'll see. Some trends, like these flowing ankle-length skirts that look like they have Indian symbols on them, I hated at first. They're actually kind of growing on me though. I think it's a classy throw-back look that when done correctly, can look pretty damn good. Again, we come back to shoes. Some sort of flat shoe must be worn with these skirts. I've seen girls wear high heels with them. They contradict each other, and it looks stupid. Moving on...skirts are actually quite simple, the shorter the better! ...............Haha, just kidding. Too short is trashy and quite unappealing. Anywhere from knee-length to moderate length is great. I personally like cacky skirts with a casual shirt. Any color skirt works though, it's all about the fit. Again, I am merely scratching the surface tonight. I'm going to elaborate much more on the topics I've already mentioned, and get into several others in Part III. It will include tops (all of them), make-up, and the ever-so-popular hair styles of today. My co-author, Daniel Pope, will be delivering Part II very soon. Sorry if I pissed anyone off, but not really.

Not bad. I agree. Although I think you mistyped cargos and capris a couple times.
