Seattle has a very interesting blend of men, from tech professionals to tattooed artists. I interviewed a bunch of them to find out what they think of ladies fashion.

A universal ‘Do’ seems to be yoga pants (shocker). While Seattle has a laid-back vibe, some guys want ladies to spruce it up with a bit more intention when picking out fashion. 

Uggs were a huge ‘Don’t’, and each guy that mentioned them included a disgusted look on his face. Why must they be so comfy if they’re so ugly?! 

Either way ladies, this is a fun article for your amusement so please use it as such. I believe the ultimate ‘Do’ is rocking what you’ve got and being confident doing it. 

Evan E.

Do: “It doesn't matter if you wear makeup, have the nicest clothes, or have the best physique. Radiate positivity. Smiling is universal, and a warm attitude is something that Seattle is recognized for (despite all the ‘Seattle freeze’ stuff).”

Don’t: “Don't ever overdo it on makeup.”

Devin S.

Do: “Having a good pair of hiking boots and a few outdoor essentials is a big turn-on to northwest guys! Be ready to dress for an outdoor adventure or two.”

Don’t: “Not dressing up nice. While Seattle is definitely less formal than the east coast, Seattle needs ladies who know how to class things up once in a while.”

Abraham A.

Do: “Spandex, yoga pants… tighter clothes are trending and I like it.”

Don’t: "When they wear sweatpants; that should be worn only inside the house.”

Johnny M.

Do: “Having great hair is a big one.”

Don’t: “Tattoos, not so much. Oh! And Uggs, Crocks and Jeggings.”

Jorge H.

Do: “A great ‘Do’ in Seattle is hot yoga....and getting into the new gym trends such as Orange Fitness Theory.” (Note: Seattle Refined just wrote about this!)

Don’t: “Do NOT wear white, tight outfit when you are not physically fit, tone or firm! And never even wear white heels… No, No!”

Drew D.

Do: “Hiking and working out is attractive; be active.”

Don’t: “Not dressing up enough. There’s too much yoga pants and flip flops. LA and NYC ladies are always on 100; Seattle ladies (and men) to to catch up.”

Hung T.

Do: “Tattoos! A lot of girls have them and I think it’s art, it’s a creative expression.”

Don’t: “Looking grundgy - not doing their hair or looking clean. Makes them look cracked out. Don’t look cracked out.”

Sean M.

Do: “Wearing a pencil skirt with a modern styled blouse/shirt and a pair of sexy heels. Or a skinny denim/black leggings with a tight simple t-shirt/shirt and boots. Can never go wrong with that.”

Don’t: “Do not wear grey sweatpants and a white tshirt with flip flops. I understand it's comfy to wear it at home, but I think a lady should take the the time and change into something more appropriate when they go to the store, bar, the movies, etc. And so should the gentlemen!”

Joey A.

Do: “I like girls who wear makeup and who know how to do it correctly; I am a big fan of MAC cosmetics and the esthetics of it.”

Don’t: “I hate the Victoria’s Secret Pink sweatpants with Uggs! Uggs! Ugh. They are truly anti-style.”

Steve O.

Do: “Women here who wear athletic gym clothing. There's nothing I admire more than a woman who is working to improve herself, and that includes effort put forth to stay in shape. Combined with little or no makeup, which says to me that she knows she's beautiful naturally.”

Don’t: “Wearing very revealing clothing. Honestly, this does get men’s attention, but probably not the kind a woman really wants. I see these same woman posting on Facebook that they're frustrated that they can't find a ‘good man’.”

Mark M.

Do: “Accessories and layers.”

Don’t: “Yoga pants are working, but yoga pants with Uggs- ladies, stick to one genre whether it be contemporary or casual.”
