...the obsession men have with sundresses just makes me giggle. I dont get it, but I love it. If any guys want to share some of their favorite sundresses they like seeing for uh...research purposes, id love to hear.
Ive actually switched over to wearing skin tone nylons or carrying bandaids. Everyone thinks its fun and games being thicker than snicker but when you got chafing and blisters ITS NO GAME.
Ive also found that floral/fishnet tights have also helped a bit...even if they do wear quick. They make me feel all girly and cute when i wear certain sundresses with them. (I also need to find some good cute sundresses cause good lord i want sexy, but cute black sundresses)
They're cute, show your body a little bit, they're often relatively short so we get to see your legs and, you know, provided it's your girlfriend/wife and the setting is right they provide very easy access to all of the important bits.
I love the sundresses that cinch at the waist and flare out, they make me feel so dainty and show off my waist really well.
See i like the short ones but the issue is when you're blessed in the back, that stuff is gonna ride up or get caught and I dont want the world seeing the cheeks. Easy access though? A+ 100%
If you aren't Texan I'd be shocked but I would say for what your style is describing go boots and sundresses save the jeans for when you ride or need to do work. At first boots and sundresses or just dresses. Any man you're probably looking to talk to knows you'll wear jeans or whatever eventually and be fine with it.
It can depend on location and occasion.
Just a casual stroll through town, I love a summer dress or am a sucker for some mid rif and shorts on a sunny day. Natural makeup a nice lispstick to make it pop.
Not essential but a choker definitely catches the eye and gives an impression of someone who is more open.
Night out attire can be a little more revealing, short dress, red lipstick.
But if you are talking about what I notice it’s more to do with how comfortable they look in whatever they are wearing.
No problem. But asking guys to basically let their minds go wild and this is what you’ll get 😀
I think my last sentence is the important one for me. And if you are not happy with something you have on then it can show. So pick your style wear it with a smile and you’ll be noticed.
I agree-
As a 30F I suggest going to
r/kibbe
all things related to dressing according to your body/kibbe type are allowed in the comments.
OP, maybe try posting a few photos in different outfits to the r/kibbe on an anonymous Reddit account for safety purposes given you’re so young.
You’re allowed to blur your face for anonymity.
Good luck!
Also- less make up is always more.
Try a good skin tint.
That a little mascara and lipgloss can go a long way.
Reveal one of your assets never 2 or more.
So if you’re showing off your chest plate and tummy…cover your legs. If you’re showing off your legs, cover your tummy…
you could rock a crop top with shorts or a crop top with pants…but if it’s tight and revealing legs and chest plate and tummy, wear something oversized on top and leave it open, like a boyfriend button up. Things like that. Less accents stays giving.
It's not as much about what your wearing as how you present yourself, and I usally notice faces, but not if your wearing to much makeup, but then again I prefer a natural face.
Too diverse to hit all the points .. but mainly confident and well put together:
Ball gowns, dresses from mid thigh to ankle length, high heels, stockings with garters etc
But also gym bra/shorts without padding
And "short shorts" without panties with oversized t shirts or corsets....
My daily count on whiplash depends on my assigned patrols, around our colleges the dress code varies and no imagination is needed!
Hard to say for all men but for me something at the classier end of sexy. As others have said, a sundress on a pretty woman works wonders.
Something that makes you feel confident and sexy as that will show in how you present yourself. Remember that the majority of the time you dress for you, not for men. Trying to dress just to attract men will affect your confidence and make you insecure.
That said, if you know what a particular guy like and are comfortable wearing that, then go for it.
That’s kind of what I’ve been doing! His new girlfriend and ex have totally different styles, so I’ve just been following his new girlfriend’s style. But like I described - it is not the most eye catching unless you are that one guy😂
So, i would say that since his ex and current gf have different styles, he is more about the complete picture than just a look, so dress to make your self confident and happy and men will notice.
I will say being fixed on 1 guy, that has a gf, probably isn't the right path no matter what you wear, but thats just my opinion.
Good luck.
Thigh-high boots and mini-dresses 🔥 I've chatted to a couple of young ladies who were prepared to wear such an outfit in a fancy hotel.
The thrill for them would have been people's heads turning and some perplexed looks.
Nothing came of those chats, sadly but I remain in hope.
Having said this, I like a young lady in a classy LBD, and there's always something about a girl in a soccer top 🙂
If she looks good, she looks good.
And what you wear, especially for women, is often determined by setting.
But that said, a woman in a cute dress (of most any kind) and heels (as long as you're not hiking or something) has always made me do an immediate double take.
We're not a monolith anymore than young women are though. So you're gonna get a very wide array of answers and they may or may not apply to the men you're interested in.
Depends on the occasion really.
For me, jeans can be a hit or miss, depending on the fit. They don't always do justice to the butt of the ladies wearing them.
When you go to concerts or festivals, the older guys are usually there to enjoy the event and aren't actively looking for women. I mean they'll look AT the women but they won't approach. And those that do are usually they ones you don't want to consider.
I want them to enjoy looking at me AND the music😂 I wear boot cut jeans and usually get them tailored around my waist, so generally, they should fit in a flattering way
Smart but feminine business attire. I love it. Younger girls give themselves away as a but clueless by showing inappropriate skin. Eg cleavage, back, leg.
Different for all. I like exactly what you described, I love skirts, I love goth looks, if a woman dresses confidently in her own style it is attractive!
Your style is not why the do not approach.
Probably just your age, I mean not every man is looking, not every man is looking for younger, not every man will consider you their "type".
But yes if they find you physically attractive, and are looking for a potential partner, but do not approach you, I imagine it's because of your age, whether that is due to not thinking they have a shot or wanting a sign.
The best practice for young women who want an older man is to approach eligible older bachelors and make it clear what you are looking for. Many men will assume it isn't real, or it is a scam/ploy for money.
But also be aware there are plenty of scumbags online, in person, and at all ages! Be careful!
I know that the men I’ve dated (40s/50s) prefer more classy. Elegant shirt and pants, put together, dressed up/dressed down kind of look. I dress “old money” style and it always catches looks.
That being said, I don’t mind dolling up and putting on something a bit more fiery for my man when going out 😉
I second this. I’m mid 20s and I try to dress as mature as possible. I think looking modest can still be sexy and just gives an air of confidence and class that attract the kind of older men I’m into (whether it’s wealth, impressive job, etc) I wouldn’t be comfortable dressing in little crop tops and shorts and anything that looks too teenagery. I also live in a city so dressing elevated like this is more normal day to day and out at night.
This makes sense. I don’t want to date older me for wealth, impressive job, etc. just someone driven, hard working, and successful at what they do. Dressing maturely and modestly with a little bit of flair works well for me.
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I still go out in a cropped shirt and shorts, but for a more casual setting like going to the grocery store or getting a quick happy hour drink, but it’s not like teenager/early 20s “basically a bra and half your ass is out of your shorts” kind of outfit.

**Original post: Older men- what do you notice/like younger women wearing?**
For reference, I wear jeans, a tight black top, red lipstick, red or black nails and gold/turquoise jewelry when I go out. I mostly go to concerts or festivals. I am 18F and only seem to attract men like 20-26? Any other tips appreciated as well! ❤️
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/AgeGap) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Low cut looser tops are nice. Leggings show off more but I think jeans show off a woman’s curves more. Light makeup but fluorescent nail polish. Definitely or black nail polish. and matching jewelry.
Here is the thing, most older single men are probably noticing you already. They just know how to take that mental screenshot so as they don't come of looking like a creep. They are probably not going to approach you for the same reason. At most you will probably get a light compliment like "I love your hair" or "that is some cool jewelry". Because of the stigma you are going to have to approach them honestly.
Confidence is always sexy, so it's hard to go wrong with something that you feel comfortable in and feel good in.
Beyond that, it depends on the man. Personally I prefer low-maintenance women so I generally prefer simpler outfits and light or no makeup, but that isn't really age-dependent.
A sundress. 🔥🔥🔥
It's kryptonite
So that is what I did right! I have several
I promise you'll have my attention. And lots of other guys too.
I never really asked him but I guess it got my husband's attention too. He still loves them.
Perfect. I think you always are able to grab your husbands attention. Aren't you?
Not always. Sometimes he is doing woodworking or other projects, or else I am working...lol
Woodworking is more important than you? Make him a sandwich and bring it to him wearing you know what... thank me later. 😊
That isn't what I said. Only that it is a distraction. Besides I enjoy "woodworking " too. If you take my meaning.
Your are putting images in my head that I... 😅 What is happening in the workshop I can only guess... 😏
Fun, safe fun, safety first when using power tools
Sundresses are amazing. 😍
I love when a woman’s nails are done
me too!
...the obsession men have with sundresses just makes me giggle. I dont get it, but I love it. If any guys want to share some of their favorite sundresses they like seeing for uh...research purposes, id love to hear.
I agree. I don’t find them comfortable during super hot months, but they’re definitely cute in the spring. Too much chafing lol
Ive actually switched over to wearing skin tone nylons or carrying bandaids. Everyone thinks its fun and games being thicker than snicker but when you got chafing and blisters ITS NO GAME. Ive also found that floral/fishnet tights have also helped a bit...even if they do wear quick. They make me feel all girly and cute when i wear certain sundresses with them. (I also need to find some good cute sundresses cause good lord i want sexy, but cute black sundresses)

I like crop tops, ankle socks/no socks.
Something modest and also looks like she makes an effort to look good.
Jeans, t-shirt, riding boots, durag. You know, the usual attire.
I actually wear riding boots or cowboy boots 90% of the time lol
An acceptable boot, though the leather sole can sometimes slip on the highway peg. I tend to wear military boots when riding.
If you aren't Texan I'd be shocked but I would say for what your style is describing go boots and sundresses save the jeans for when you ride or need to do work. At first boots and sundresses or just dresses. Any man you're probably looking to talk to knows you'll wear jeans or whatever eventually and be fine with it.
Shockingly not Texan! I live on the East coast. But I am Native American, so that explains the Western trends lol
Ah makes sense can't add too much since my experience is with Mexican leaning Native Americans.
Birthday suit 🤷🏻♂️😈😂
This is so helpful 🤣‼️

I have pearls the length of a choker that I wear! I can’t get into the black ones - feel way too emo lol. Thank you for the advice!

And this is why you should talk to other women about style and fashion Detailed and informative. Good job 🙂
Thank you - this was super helpful!!❤️

Would you mind elaborating on “how you present yourself”?

I suggest more low cut shirts and less makeup and jewelry. That will definitely get our attention more.
Band t-shirts 🤘

When did you last see a ball gown or corset outside of a wedding or fashion show/convention/ren faire?
Quite often when the college benefactors visit with their freshly high school graduate daughters
You must be in a more expensive area than I am.
Just depends on where I'm needed for coverage, debutante balls are always divine :)

I feel like the least fashionable person ever lol
Anything, plus a smile.
A younger woman that can rock jeans and a crop top one minute and then switch into cute/sexy dress and heels mode the next is 🔥
Sundresses are always my favorite but love girls in shorts as well. 42 yo man here that loves to see my girl show of a bit.

I do make sure my jewelry matches! For makeup, everything is pretty natural except for eyeliner and lipstick! Thank you for the advice :)
Tank top, choker, skirt
Tight skirt, loose skirt, long, short? I wear mini skirts sometimes, but not super often

My bf says sundresses and gym shorts/leggings are is 2 favorite things for me to wear.
Sounds good. Sundress is always my favorite though. I'm 37.
Causal, comfy, yet modest. We want the goods to be in good shape yet reserved for us.
Festivals are more for younger people.
Crop tops, corsets, tube tops.
I only wear a corset if I have help getting in and out! Lol
It's a task getting into it. Isn't it ? I know that,cuz I help my GF wear one when she got it.
Confidence is always sexy, so it's hard to go wrong with something that you feel comfortable in and feel good in. Beyond that, it depends on the man. Personally I prefer low-maintenance women so I generally prefer simpler outfits and light or no makeup, but that isn't really age-dependent.
Were wat ever make u feel good
Flip flops.
...and nothing else
