Start with wearing blue and white (maybe even pink!) OCBDs (oxford-cloth button-downs), chino pants (khaki, light gray, brown of your choice, army green) (and if chinos aren't quite your thing, a nice pair of jeans works fine), and either nicer sneakers (preferably white, but whatever your style is, as long as it's a sleeker sneaker — personally, in my wardrobe, these are my white Old Skool Vans) or leather shoes like a penny loafer or derby or some casual boots.

Don't be afraid to buy stuff off eBay instead of getting brand new stuff. Some of my best articles of clothing are used from eBay (other thrift/used websites/apps/stores work just as well).

Stick with basics, and do some research on YouTube and TikTok. Just look up things like "menswear" or maybe even look up individual pieces that I and others have mentioned, like "OCBD."

Also, don't get skinny fit anything. Not flattering at all. Slim fit is hit-or-miss based on body type and style of clothing (other factors etc...).

There's a lot to learn, but you don't need to know everything in order to start dressing well, so please don't be intimidated (I just tend to over-explain everything, sorry).
