Style question for guys and gals

MoriahJN

I'm interested in the opinions of everyone about style and makeup (and such)

I've heard guys like less makeup on women, and some like more. What are your opinions on it?

What about style? Do you ladies like a well-dressed man, or do you not care so much? Same for guys. Do you like ladies to be more stylish, casual, don't care?

I'm so curious as to what the general opinions are about these things.

MHO:

Men- Mountain Kahki for casual, GQ for formal.

Women- it's awesome to see a beautiful, natural face & low key makeup & still think she looks amazing. However, makeup is fun & helps. Mascara ads lie to me, though!

For women clothing- there is so much variety impossible to choose, we are lucky that way. Most important is a good fit & feel good in it. If you get compliments on a garmet, buy 2 more- you are on the right track.

P.S.

Was out in a crowded public place yesterday & had the opportunity to people watch some fashion situations. And rethink this important topic. I have a little more feedback after yesterday's observation:

The Best dressed people are under age 8 or over 65. They were all rocking these cutting edge brave fashion combinations that I had to admire. They take fashion risks & pair items that are extra ordinary.

We should all hope to look that good.

Make up Is great as long as it compliments her natural beauty, If you know what you look like when the Mac washes off, don't stay the night..have some respect lol

I prefer less makeup. Enhancing what you've got is fine as long as you don't look like a totally different person.

I think style depends on the situation. If I'm at a nice restaurant I like when a guy is dressed up, but if we're just out and about it doesn't matter so much. A nice pair of jeans and a dressy button down is a nice everyday style in my opinion.

There is a time and place for everything, to me make up is cool,less is better or lightly applied. As far as clothes, I am a dresser but depends on occasion. I don't want my man to be focused on his outside more than his inside and how he treats and respects others.
But a woman or guy worried about their appearance is a turn off to me when it becomes obsessive.

Should guys wear skinny jeans?

I prefer women too look however the hell they want be that 10 tonnes of makeup or nothing but lip balm

for men i prefer them to look like they shop strictly at thrift stores and wear big stomping boots all the time

He!l no! Now guys in a**-hugging cowboy cut wranglers? Yes please

I'm a minimal makeup type person. Eyeliner and mascara, and little enough that I don't look like a raccoon. Adding some eye shadow is fun sometimes, but I rarely do. Absolutely nothing else.

I just don't think it's very attractive when a girl wears so much makeup, she looks like a different person.

Guys? Hmm.. Boots (work boots preferably), jeans and a t-shirt are just fine.

Situation depending for me.

Loved my man in his tux for casino night. Also in his fancy dress renaissance costume. His usual is t shirt hood n jeans woth boots or trainers.

I get a bit in heat when hes in his leathers...i may be a weird pervert.

For me. Work i wear no make up n cheap crappy clothes as i may ruin them. Generally jeans or leggings, tunic n uggs with a little tinted moisturiser, mascara n eyeliner.

Do like going all out with full slap, 6" heels n killer frock tho!!

Lmao! I don't know but when I pass through the dept store they're always busy.

Everybody looks good in their own individual style! I obviously love wearing hardly any make up other than a little mascara and bold Red lipstick, but some ladies can pull off the deep smokey eye and no lipstick! (which I look like death in) ;p
I prefer Vintage style clothing as well!

For a Guy I am attracted to short hair with neatly groomed facial hair. I love a clean smile and love a nice spicy scent. I Love a well dressed man in a suit but also love the "bad boy" Jeans, boots and Tshirt!

I don't care if you wear more make up or less. I care that:

1. You are comfortable in your own skin
2. You are appropriate for the occasion
3. You put your looks in context (i.e. aren't obsessed with them or aren't oblivious to them)

Everything else is irrelevant.

Hey, thanks for the input, guys and gals! to me it sounds like pretty much everyone has a universal opinion about what's attractive (besides personal preference)...this kind of thing is fascinating to me.

And yes, people still use MAC all the time! but it's SUPER expensive (so I don't. haha)

No!!!

Mommaannie2510

I think makeup is fun! I am a mom and usually I don't put makeup on unless I'm going out for something special. My hubby says he loves it when I have no makeup on and my hair up But he loves it When I get dressed up too.

For men... Scruffy, beard, sexy smelling cologne, button up, jeans and boots!!

Men in suites are nice too but I like the country boys too!!!

MoriahJN

I think when guys say they like "no makeup" sometimes they mean literally that but often it means "that no-makeup look" because, let's be honest, NO makeup often looks not so great :P

I agree too! Some days I can't even look at myself lol

I particularly like the footwear ! Galoshes? Ballet slippers?
No need to choose. Wear one of each !

generally, no, but I've seen them worn well, so it depends on the jeans and the guy.

Never trust a guy when he says he prefers girls without makeup. We almost universally have no clue how much a girl is wearing. I used to wear makeup for a weekly performance thing I was involved with, so I think I have a slightly better than average sense of it, and I'm still deaf and blind compared to even the most tomboyish woman.

I think most of them mean they don't like the over the top club look that a lot of girls tend to go with, or that they don't like the intense colors around the eyes, or the whole remove the eyebrows then pencil them back on thing. If a girl is going for the natural look, she could have Louis the XIV style pancake makeup on and most of us are incapable of figuring it out.

I prefer little to no makeup. As far as dressing, I'm ok with a woman wearing jeans and tee shirt one day, and nice tight, short skirt next. I never tell a woman how to dress, I let her do whatever.

Only with ironic t-shirts while talking about how they were into Arcade Fire back before they went mainstream.

haleklausen

Hmm I like a girl who is well dressed, and that does not where a lot of makeup. I mean if your already attractive then what would be the point of covering it up?

Noelv1976

Please! For the love of my eyes, guys stop wearing skinny jeans! Let alone saggy skinny jeans!! Ladies, if your male friends are wearing those, please tell them it's not healthy! It's like a woman wearing see through tights, while wearing a thong in Walmart or the mall. It's not flattering or cool. It's disgusting.

MoriahJN

haha, okay. super tight skinny jeans are an absolute no-go for anyone. but if they're loose enough that they basically look like normal jeans with a narrower leg, I'm fine with it.
