Hey guys.
I am opening this thread in the hopes we can help as many guys as possible to improve how they dress – with the ultimate goal of increasing everyone’s chances of getting laid.
I’m building this thread here because:
-I sanitise my output on thehatfish.com a little bit, for the sake of being picked up by google and reaching a broader audience
than you randy bastards. By building a style thread here I can be more open about certain things (like dressing to get laid)
-I want to encourage other posters who are passionate about style to share their knowledge. Jake and JamalHash123 for examples. Some guys have knowledge outside my wheelhouse, in areas such as suits and smarter dress styles. So hopefully this thread can grow.
I will kick this off with some stuff I want to cover that probably won’t end up on my site or in the eBook redraft.
The style I aim for: Street style fuck boy
Back in the good ol days of GLL it was Chris’ goal to make us all dress like dirtbags. The style guides would be up to date with the latest trends, but he always wanted his readers to dress like the guys you would see leaving with hot girls from the bar. My whole aim was to recreate this with the current trends and the quickest way to get there is to go all in with street style.
The issue for a lot of you when you rock up here is that you dress like ‘Mr Boring Nice Guy’ or, slightly worse, you dress like you don’t care about what you are wearing. This is going off pics I see day to day from forum newbies.
If you have read Andy’s tinder guide then you will know the aim of your pics is to achieve a sexual vibe. You gotta look like a guy who fucks. You can do this with your style, as Andy did before the BDSM pics. As a bonus with style you also carry that sexual vibe into real life and not just your tinder profile.
Accessible instagram inspiration
Instagram accounts have made following fashion easy. Any idiot can do it as long as you pick the right guys to follow. We all have our favourites that we like to try and copy. Im going to give you some advice on how to pick your insta gurus.
I love @magic_fox as much as the rest of you – maybe more, but probably not as much as Andy. However, I want to make a bit of a nuanced point here so bear with me -
magic_fox is elite when it comes to style. As a guy far better with style than I am told me: ‘that dude never misses’ - and that’s true, you wont find an instagram pic where he looks shit. The issue is though that he is beyond elite in looks as well. He has modelled since he was a teenager. Basically no one I’ve ever seen in this community or GLL has that sort of potential. Its like aspiring to look like David Beckham, its predicated on having top % of the top % genetics. As a guy with this level of looks he can pull shit off that won’t work on you. He really is a style freak in his ability to pull every look off.
Instead I advise you focus on Instagram accounts like this one:

This dude is good looking but plenty of you can get to his level. In fact a few of you will be able to get significantly better looking. I like him because he gets simple street style bang on and I used his stuff a fair bit in my eBook – those of you who have read it probably recognise him.
Edge and accessories
The fastest way to a sexual vibe is to cultivate edge. You are probably sick of reading or hearing Andy say ‘WEAR ACCESSORIES.’ Well, you only get to feel that way if you actually took this action and bought the: watch, necklaces, rings etc that he told you to.
And I want to talk about something Chris never shut up about….
INK
Tattoos are to girls what boobs are to men……
Let that sink in.
Now this is something of an exaggeration – they are like this to some women – but I wrote that sentence above because I want you to internalise this in its most radical form.
Getting ink changes you, you are no longer some bland wallflower that’s hung some clothes on himself, you are a badass with tattoos. Its an actual cheat code.
Cuts and fits matter way more than brands
This really needs to go in a redraft of my eBook. Its not about the brands guys. Its about the cuts and fits I am recommending which are part of the trends.
The brands I recommend meet a certain criteria
- Ones I own or have seen people I know wear in person
- Availability to my readership (internationally available/obtainable on Amazon)
- Price – I want the whole wardrobe to be affordable to anyone
Stan Smiths are the big example so far. Stan Smiths are a low top tennis shoe in white leather. Any other low top tennis shoe in white leather will be acceptable.
Nuances of fit – Slightly linked to the above is how fit can be difficult to find for the individual. I for instance have hip and inseam measurements that mostly meet a large size. But I have a waist that hits closer to most mediums. This means I must shop around a bit more for trousers. You will all probably have your areas like this. It is therefore worth checking several outlets/online shops for the items that meet your measurements. If you don’t want to do this well you aren’t putting in the required effort to get this shit right. Some of us have walked hours between shops and spent more hours trawling online just so we can look good.
And as per the above, if one of the brands I suggest doesn’t really fit you at any size then find an equivalent from another provider. Its not about brands.
Ask questions: If anyone has specific questions they want to ask fire away
