Workwear is something of a staple of fashionable menswear (and has been at least since the '50s), and even today it evokes images of manhood and strength. Heavy denim clothing, chambray, workwear jackets, and heavier boots all contribute to a look that is distinctly masculine and that, apparently, women like.
The Takeaway: Don't obsess over always wearing finery -- take some time to build up a wardrobe of thicker, more robust fabrics and articles of clothing. This can not only be pretty damn fashionable, but it also is pretty affordable, as well-made workwear-ish clothing tends to last forever.
How to Perfect It: This is the workwear look, not actually wearing workwear. Carhartt jackets are still ugly as sin.
