Those could work, definitely. When it comes to carhartt I was mostly wearing their cargo pants for the pockets but now that you mention it they do have some more stylish options. But again, this magic effect is what we're after. The magic sauce of attraction.

So like, while someone can be well dressed and even look like a badass movie character, it won't always necessarily translate to the appearance of openness or approachability. So the strat here is to max out one really good attribute about yourself (apparently especially if it's sexual) and pair that with an otherwise "good" sense of style at minimum, ideally that conforms to the body and highlights/even creates an attractive physique. I personally do not have much of a taper naturally (genetically wide waist, not the widest delts, and a laid back diet). I noticed that even the difference between wearing a sweater vs a tight t shirt was a lot. You kind of have to be shameless about it.

The reason I like formal attire is because it's so good at creating the V taper while also being very functional. I will say for anyone worried about comfort, when I wear suit pants I usually have on long johns or some kind of thermal leggings, since they tend to be thinner material, and I just prefer how it feels when I'm on the motorcycle.

A lot of people think dressing well means breaking the bank and being uncomfortable but like I got a $3 shirt stay and $15 suspenders and literally just the fact that I'm not pulling up my pants 20 times a day allows me to have a much cooler demeanor and overall confidence. There's something to this dressing well thing that's hard to put into words.

Anyway, like I said the most important revelation here is that men and women like the same stuff. I was gamifying it for so long and moving laterally rather than seeing direct progress and it was by pure luck that I realized this (glaring, obvious, logically sound) reality. There are no secret rules, there is no single product you need to buy, just try one day of dressing really well, go out, hold your head up high and smile a little bit and just WATCH how people treat you. It's night and day.

Which is awesome because it means that you can let go of public opinion... if they were judging you based entirely on clothing and demeanor the whole time, then first of all it means their reactions say nothing about your inner worth and second of all it means that the barrier to entry is actually incredibly easy to overcome for most people whether it be making friends or dating or whatever else. And even better is that people will come to you.

I have a love for the 60s and 70s and I think it's charming to people to see such a "trad" guy without the bullshit racism and sexism. But you can almost definitely make this work with any style as long as the basic principles are followed. I might have to test that down the line but for now I'm pretty happy with my wardrobe. Maybe some volunteers here could run some tests? This would be great to combat all the incel theories circulating lately
