how it works
1. Book an appointment HERE and tell us your sizes.
2. Come to the Gotstyle store located at 21 Trinity Street in the Distillery District (opening April 2024 at The Well).
3. A stylist will be waiting for you with 2-3 outfits to try on.
4. With each outfit a photographer will take you around the area and into some of the coffee shops / restaurants to take multiple candid shots of you on your own phone.
5. You choose the pictures you like and immediately update your dating app profile.
6. Start getting more swipe rights!
DO my dating app pictures really make such a difference?
Uh yes, you're guilty of the same when you're scrolling on the app, swiping right on the images that get your attention. The biggest difference is that most women have great pictures on their profiles while most guys do not. By nature, guys do not have a lot of pictures of themselves to post, so they resort to bathroom selfies, car selfies, old pictures with your ex cut out, or even older pictures of you and your "boys" from your going out days.
On my friends dating apps, I would say that 9 out of 10 guys have crappy pictures that you immediately cringe on. The only dating app that had the reverse was the invite-only dating app Reya—almost every single guy on this app is swipeable, and it's not because they were better looking; every single guy just had better pictures. There were no bathroom selfies but more full body shots doing something—like crossing the street, having coffee and all smartly dressed (even if they were dressed casual, they didn't look sloppy).,
What does dressing better convey in my dating app pictures?
1. Confidence - a well dressed guy exudes confidence: you're showing that you are self-assured, pay attention to detail and you make a positive impression on others. This conveys to women that you'll also pay attention in a relationship and to her.
2. Respect For The Occasion - pictures of you dressed in different outfits shows you know how to dress appropriately for different occasions and show respect for the event or the environment. Women want a man that understands social norms and that you can be seen in a formal event to a more casual one without embarrassing her.
3. Success And Ambition - smart dressing can be associated with success and ambition—it shows you care about your image and may be driven to succeed. You don't need to be rich, but women want to see that you have some ambition and drive.
4. Style And Taste - by being well dressed, you are showcasing your personal style, indicating you know how to dress yourself and have an eye for a good aesthetic. It shows to your potential match that you "get it" and appreciate living well.
Come on, can dressing better in pictures really show all this?
Yes! As owner and founder of GOTSTYLE, an award-winning menswear store, I can personally vouch for the power of dressing better. For over 18 years we've been helping men dress better to do better—every day we see how powerful it is to dress better.
But I don't want to appear too young or over styled and fashion-y
We don't want you to either. Our style is not about trendy clothes or flashy label-driven designer style; it's all about clothes that fit properly and make you look more elevated than what you would normally wear. Our core customers are between 35-55 so we are where you want to be: sophisticated, slightly edgy and elevated, dressing like a man. We're the in-between dressing that most guys have a hard time with—you have your sloppy weekend wear and then your business suits. We have that in-between style of soft jackets, smart sweaters and pants, great shoes—all clothes that make you look good.
