What Looks do You Love that Your Guy Hates?

I've recently realized I dress way more for girls than I do for guys. And by that I mean, the looks I love-flowy t-shirt dresses over leggings, plenty of pendant necklaces, feathery headbands-seem to be (based on my not-so-scientific survey of the men in my life) the looks that make guys think: too high-maintenance! does she have a bird in her hair? why isn't she showing her legs?

And, sure enough, when I dress like that-the boho chick look-is when I seem to get the most compliments from girls. Meanwhile, I seem to get attention from guys when I go the less-is-more route: the little black dress, the simple chain necklace, even the low-slung boyfriend jeans.

And that observation does influence my dating life. When I go on first dates, I tend to dress conservatively pretty: a simple shirt with just a hint of cleavage, a knee-grazing skirt, and heels. At one point, in the height of a dating spree last summer, co-workers and friends could immediately tell I was going on a date simply because I'd be wearing my date uniform: little black dress, pendant necklace, red t-strap shoes (I always feel like it's good luck and oh-so-sexy to have a hint of red somewhere!)

What about you? Do you have a first date uniform? And any look you'd never give up even if your significant other hates it?
