Keep Your Running Shoes At the Gym

I'm living in a mid-sized town called Provo, Utah. Provo is a college town and it's known as a "Happy Valley". This place is quite different, but it is a nice and cozy place to be. The most popular activity that people here are involved with is "DATING" because more than 75%* of faces you see walking by are looking for their eternal partner. Dating in Provo is not the same as any other places. Guys and girls are expected to go out on dates, in average, at least twice a week. If the number doesn't meet their expectation, they get frustrated and blame themselves that they are not doing their part (by asking girls out, or not getting asked out). Some dudes just ask random girls out on a date even though they are not even interested in them... That's cool I guess... But what is the point? To make both parties feel good about themselves?

Anyway, my point of this blog entry is not to whine about the lame dating lifestyles of college students here in Provo, but I just want to write an introduction of the main topic of today's entry... Appropriate Casual Attire For Men ... Honestly, it's not difficult to dress up to attract the ladies. What girls want is neither expensive nor complicated. Well we don't even have to go into the details of fashio and things because we understand that you might feel butterflies in your stomach when we talk about shopping. However, there are some items that you might not realize we (girls) think are not appropriate to wear in "everyday" settings...

The combination of Running shoes and Khaki Pants

We understand that you boys love running and working out and stuff... but running shoes should be worn at the GYM. If you desperately want to wear your running shoes that day, just wear with your gym shorts and a plain white T-shirt. Please.. please.. don't wear these shoes with khaki pants. They are not meant to be together.

So what kind of shoes should you wear?
If you want to us to absolutely adore you, there are several options available in the stores AND you can pick them out yourself!

Some examples for casual wear/hanging out with friends/casual dating activities:

$$$: Diesel, Lacoste, Sperry Top-Sider
$$: Vans, Converse

Or if you can find anything cheaper that looks similar to the one in the picture on your left.. go ahead.. We encourage you to look good and feel great. Stay classy, boys!

How to casually wear Khaki pants with sneakers:

Khaki pants are great when you wear them for a business event, but they are pretty tricky to some people to wear them casually. When you Provo boys are going out to a movie with a girl, pleaseeeeee... don't wear them with your tennis shoes, especially when they have tons of wrinkles on them. Your running shoes and your church khaki pants should not be seen together. However, if you wear your khaki pants with appropriate shoes, they can make you look amazingly attractive to us. Try this look with a plain T-shirt or a polo..

I don't want to put a bad example picture up. Just don't do it, that's all.
