    Be confident! Confidence radiates through your body language, and if you walk with your head held high and your shoulders back, guys are sure to notice.

    Try styling yourself with contrasting colors. If you wear light colors on your top half, wear dark colors on your bottom half. If you'd like to infuse some color, start off with an accessory like a colorful bracelet, set of earrings, or interesting necklace. Dress true to yourself and you'll surely impress your guy.
