As far as crushes go, the first step is to attract their attention. After that, you can wow them with your bright personality, great sense of humor, and intelligence. But in the meantime, it’s a good idea to make sure you have some fashionable wardrobe pieces to get your crush to notice you in the first place. Read on to discover fashionable pieces to impress your crush.
Jewelry
Something shiny always stands out. Whether it’s a necklace, earrings, or a watch, go for a piece of jewelry that is original and has a great story behind it. For example, wear your grandfather’s wristwatch and when your crush asks about it, be sure to have a terrific story ready. Hopefully, your crush will have his or her own grandpa story to share. And, voila! You’ve started a conversation—and who knows what that will lead to?
Tie
You don’t have to know how to tie a necktie in order to impress your crush with your fashion sense. Remember that neckties work for men and women. Consider how Annie Lennox, Gwen Stefani, and Lady Gaga have come to redefine gender-neutral fashion statements. Pre-tied ties, like the ones from GoTie, are guaranteed to fit whether you’re short, tall, male, female, or anything else. Using a unique slide-knot system, pre-tied ties work for anyone.
You can tell your crush about the slide-knot so that he or she can enjoy tie-wearing—or keep that to yourself. No one will be able to tell that you didn’t tie the tie the old-fashioned way.
Scarf
A colorful scarf adds pop to any outfit. You can wear a scarf year-round if it’s made from light cotton material. You’re going to want to use a thicker material (like cashmere or another soft wool) if you live in a frigid place.
Whatever the weather, scarves are a sophisticated and European look for a man or a woman. Research new and creative ways to help you style a scarf in just the right way to attract positive attention.
Hat
Whether it’s a pork pie, bowler, knit beanie, or beret, you can let your personality shine and get noticed by your crush if your hat stands out. You can also use a hat to advertise your team allegiance or your hometown pride. Even if your crush is a New Yorker and you’re wearing a Red Sox cap, you can start a conversation. Just be prepared to keep it light if you want the conversation to continue. You don’t want to alienate any rabid sports fans with your fashion choices.
You need to wear shoes, so why not pick a pair that catches your crush’s eye and impresses? Whether it’s a pair of sparkly high heels, well-worn cowboy boots, or runway-worthy sandals, you can use your footwear to start a conversation with your crush. Just make sure you can walk comfortably in them. After all, you don’t want to get your crush’s attention and then be in too much foot pain to go out dancing, do you?
Bag
There are plenty of ways to get attention while also carrying your books or laptop. Whether it’s a cross-body bag, a tote, or a backpack, let your carry-all speak to your crush. You can show off a tote with a political message or in support of your favorite charity or you can wear a vegan cross-body bag that speaks for your love of animals. How about a colorful backpack that shows you’re practical and fun? The choices are endless.
Jacket
A jacket is an easy way to pull an outfit together and attract attention. Whether you’re dressing up or going casual, the right jacket can attract your crush’s eye, and you can easily show your individuality by what type of jacket you wear. For example, a jean jacket, a leather bomber, or a blazer in a fabric is appropriate in a color that looks great on you.
Your Personality
In the end, you’re sure to impress your crush if you show off your personality through your outfit. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not. Just play up your uniqueness and remember that having a crush is fun, but it’s even more fun once you get his or her attention.
