Great Gatsby<\/i>, Mad Men<\/i>, Succession<\/i>. It's all about looking classy and sharp, but not flexing too much. Suits, slacks, sweaters, dress shoes. You're never overdressed, it's everyone else that's underdressed. And it's not as stifling or stiff as you think; there's plenty of room for more casual looks with Polos, linens, and loafers. It's also not as pricey as it sounds. If you know where to look (like thrift shops or budget brands like H&M), you can get the look on a tight budget.

The outdoors and athleisure look is all about showing people that you're ready to run a mile at a moment's notice. It's techwear, sweatpants, tennis shoes, Patagucci, quality hoodies, and quarter-zips. It's casual and comfortable, but also sophisticated and stylish.

It's smart, put-together, and slick, but not too much effort. You could wear it all day around the house, out on errands, and low-key hangouts. And with a little elevation, you could even pull it off at more formal events, once you develop your personal taste and style. It's the kind of look that makes other people stop, look, and think, \"How does he look so good? Aren't we wearing basically the same thing?\" The secret is in the quality.

It's a little messy, super edgy, and makes a coherent style from incoherent elements. It's the kind of thing you see all over the skatepark and in the pit at the punk show. Brands aren't everything, but you'll see them everywhere. Used clothing is a plus, and bonus points for frayed edges and rips in your pants. And don't forget the Vans skate shoes!

It's for people like you who want an avant-garde look without being too pretentious or intimidating. The softboy look is approachable and accessible, casual even, but also curated and tasteful. Think of that guy you see on the street who looks like he owns a great record collection and also wants to hear about your own taste in music. He's humble but slick, charming but not too serious, a little edgy but not dangerous.

It's all about sturdy materials, loose but fitted cuts, boots, and pockets. You're ready for anything and always down to lend a hand, and people see you and think, \"That's just the guy I'm looking for.\"

Finding Your Style

Consider your lifestyle.
Your style comes from your day-to-day activities. It’s a costume, but it’s a functional one that works with you, not against you. It doesn’t make sense to dress in super expensive, spotless clothing if you work a dirty job that gets you grimy. Think about your hobbies, your job, your schedule, and the people you hang around to start to get a sense for what works for you.

Follow your passion.
You’re a canvas, and your clothes are how you paint it! The most important part of your style is your personality and your passions. What do you like? How do you want to feel? If you feel good in your clothes, then you’ll look good in them, too. Don’t worry too much about trends or what others say is hip or fashionable. That’s a great way to drop loads of cash on constantly shifting fads and burn through your wallet fast. But if you follow your instincts, you’ll find your own signature, timeless look.

Take cues from your style heroes.
Think of celebs, designers, or other public figures whose looks are on point and steal some looks from them. There’s no law that says you can’t, as long as you’re not literally raiding your closet. Don’t worry about not being “original.” Originality will come when you find your own sensibility and start tweaking and adjusting.

Get thrifty.
Building a wardrobe can be expensive, especially when you’re starting from scratch. That’s what secondhand and thrift stores are for! You’re almost guaranteed to find at least one hot item if you look hard enough, and chances are that piece will become a one-of-a-kind wardrobe staple.

Get some staples. Staples are the anchors of your wardrobe, versatile pieces that can go with almost anything else in your closet. Things like plain shirts, plain pants, and plain shoes that you can mix and match with more clashy, louder pieces. Then, once you learn that mix-and-match game, you can start to move away from basic staples and inject a little more flair.
