Ever hear the expression "Tall dark and handsome?". This expression has been passed on from the lips of one woman to the next for hundreds of years, it is tried, tested, and true. Now guys, all we have to do is live up to its standards. If you want a new and improved image for 2009 during the seasons of love, a few simple guides to looking mature, confident, and fashionable, are all you need.

Lets begin with the lower body. Women LOVE shoes, so when your looking for a new pair of kicks to run all over town with, try and keep in mind the color of pants you wear most often and try not to steer to far away from its shade of color. In other words, don't wear bright yellow shoes with coal black pants. I would highly recommend a pair of runners, which gives you the appearance of an active, energetic person who likes to keep busy.

Moving up to the next layer we find those old tattered jeans we wore every spring that make us look like we're strait from the 80's. Put them away for a rock concert and try this; something loose, yet snug, which does not hinder your flexibility. A dark to light pair of khakis with cargo pockets are a very comfortable, and stylish way to present yourself to the world.

Now for the best part, the shirt department. When you walk into any clothing store there is an abundance of shirts of all styles, colors, and designed embroideries. Keep in mind we want to look active and in good health. Try to choose something that isn't overly baggy, show off your body a little! Grab a medium (or small or large depending on your size) that forms to your body, and tuck that bad boy into your belt line. Find a nice looking chain of silver or gold, put on your best watch and lets head down the road.

"Where are we going?" You may wonder. Follow me into the hair dressers boys, I know how much you can hate doing this, but aside from clothing this is your number one look-good, fool-proof plan. spring is the season of change as life begins anew, so bring new life to your face and hair. Style it up a little differently, get the hair dresser to make you look good. Give her a general idea but insist you want a change in appearance and tell her you want her to do whatever she thinks looks good.

Add these tips to your own wardrobe and aside from anything fashionable you can do to look good this spring and summer, remember one thing. The number one trick to looking and feeling good is to stay active, so do a little more than usual this year and build your confidence up a little with a stronger, healthier body.

Enjoy 2009 and all the fruits it has to offer, and best of all, look and feel great!
