Dress to Impress: A stylish outfit for those times when you need to up your game

JOE does the legwork on putting together a slick outfit that's going to grab you the right kind of attention, and all you have to do is wear it.

So you've finally decided to change tact in order to win over that girl that you've had your eye on, and instead of standing outside her house with a boombox playing Peter Gabriel tunes a la John Cusack, you think it might be a good idea to just dress a bit sharper and see if you can catch your eye.

Well, you're not wrong there, being that little bit more dapper than usual will make you stand out from the crowd a bit, as well as making sure she notices you for all the right reasons, rather than for the curry sauce stain that you've got on your cotton tracksuit bottoms. That's not a good look.

So our style gurus here at JOE give you a run down and what will make you look like a million bucks but won't impact your wallet anything like that, with a new outfit from the lads at Seduzfashion.ie.

Firstly, let's start with a shirt, and there's nothing quite like a crisp, clean and well fitted blue shirt, like this one from Bellfield. White can be a bit formal, while blue is more casual, and a nice light colour will work well coming into these summer months, as we hope and pray that the weather stays nice.

Now that we're sorted on top, we're going to need some trousers, since apparently it's frowned upon to head out the front door in our boxers. So we'll stick with a pretty classic combo of black and blue with these black fitted jeans from Jack Jones. They might be a little bit more fitted than you're used to, but why else have you been working on those quad muscles all winter? The contrast between the dark and light colours works pretty well and black goes with anything, more or less.

Next, time to throw a jacket over the top of this, and given that it is likely to rain at all times, it might not be a bad plan to have something with a hood on it just in case we get soaked. The Belfield Hideout jacket will give you a bit of cover should you be caught in a summer shower, as well as being casual enough to add to your every day rotation.
