As the title said, I want to start dressing better but don't know where to start, so any articles/links/books that you could provide about the basic is much appreciated.

Thanks you everyone for the great advices so far! :meow-bounce:

Here some more info about me: Current everyday outfit is just the bare minimum of a t-shirt and a jean. Live in a hot climate, I also tends to sweat . In my early 20, asian, 5’8, 145 lbs, not exactly chubby but close to it, relatively wide shoulder. And like a commenter below say, my goal right now is just to:

get the basics down and look like Generic Well Dressed Guy #53, can start thinking about personalizing it with my flair later

2nd Update: Just want to express how thankful I am of everyone here, putting in so much effort in their replies :meow-hug: .

      Start paying attention to what people around you wear. If you see someone that makes you think “that person is dressed nice” try to figure out why you think that.

      Best advice in the thread. Fashion is contextual.

      Thanks for the advice! :meow-bounce:

      How much money ya got

      I live in a third world country, could spend maybe at most 400-500$ on clothing a month.

      also where are you starting, what’s your every day outfit look like? what’s your climate? how old are you? what body shape are you working with?

      My everyday outfit is just the bare minimum of a t-shirt and a jean. Live in a hot climate, I also tends to sweat . In my early 20, asian, 5'8, 145 lbs, not exactly chubby but close to it, relatively wide shoulder.

      once you get the basics down and look like Generic Well Dressed Guy #53 you can start thinking about personalizing it with your own flair.

      That's my intention!

      easy every day outfit that looks nice: dark blue jeans (fitted, not baggy, but not super tight - stay comfy), solid color t shirt

      phew, that's what I've already been doing for years. Was starting to feel bad because I'm trying to branch out a bit from only wearing plain black t-shirts, and everyone everywhere says to dress like smart casual or even fancier. I still want to try different colors and maybe different fabric, but idk how to pick or where to look

      anyway, thanks for validating my dress style. 😛
