If you used a time machine to go back to 2010 when “Jersey Shore” was all people were talking about, looking around at all the hair products and white tank tops, I never would have believed that New Jersey men would one day be ranked the best dressed in America.

But here we are.

A survey was performed by Dating Advice to find out which states across the nation had the best-dressed men. This was determined by surveying thousands of women to find out what looks they found attractive in the opposite sex.

Of all the states, New Jersey guys’ style was ranked number one among ladies.

According to Dating Advice:

The overall winner was the 'Urban Edge' style popularized in New Jersey. Blending street style with urban chic, New Jersey fashion includes fitted jeans, designer sneakers, and leather jackets.

Influenced by proximity to NYC, it has a trendy, polished look, feeling cutting edge, and like the man who wears it has his finger on the fashion pulse.

I don’t love they attribute our success to our proximity to New York, but that’s kind of the classic New Jersey story, is it not?

As for the looks that women don’t want to see:

👔 35% said that socks with sandals are simply a no-go
👔 23% voted against any form of bling, the over-the-top glitter, and gold should be saved for Hollywood
👔 18% said that the 2000s could have their low-rise jeans back
👔 14% thought that oversized sports jerseys were best saved for game day
👔 10% of respondents simply hate cargo shorts, keep them at home
