trying to dress better as a guy
19/m
So I recently started college about a month ago. I want to try to dress better a young man, right now I wear alot of cargos, t-shirts, sweatshirts.. but I only have so many so I rewear my stuff alot and feel like I'm constantly wearing the same thing every day.
What are some ways to dress better? I want to dress better to help look better just in general, but also cause I want to have variety and to look better for the women.
Where can I go that a student wont break their bank account? What should I look for, for clothing? I feel like if I had a girlfriend she would be able to tell me what women like and what looks good on me, but I don't and I also am terrible with my self esteem and confidence so I have no idea where to start and what does look good, in general I'm pretty lost when it comes to matching, and getting good looking clothes on me haha.
Any tips/advice is helpful and appreciated! :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
First off, I understand you wanting to look better. It is something that often comes with maturity. But please note that your primary motivation should be to do it for yourself, not because of what girls or anyone else might think.
This is especially the case because different girls like different styles so there is no right or wrong answer.
Now, as far as the dressing itself goes, I suggest you check out clearance racks at your local department stores. If you are a little more adventurous and don't mind used stuff, you can check out thrift stores too.
The most important thing is to get items that fit you body and shape well, nothing too tight or really baggy. Secondly, you really should pay attention to making sure colors match well and maybe go well with your skin tone or hair color. That sort of thing can go a long way.
Good luck on this.

For a college look I'd say it was about some fashionable labels or at least clothes which have the same 'look' (cut, style, colours etc). And making sure they don't look worn or stained/dirty. It is an environment where overdressed will put off the ladies most likely, one where casual and cool beats formal and smart. Looking a bit further ahead (career-wise and high-class socialising) it is more difficult for guys to look slick than girls. Girls have stores full of huge ranges of low priced garments that reflect label-looks (albeit without the tailoring, cut and quality of fabrics) which are maybe worn a few times while they are on-trend and pristine then replaced. And they manage to look great in them. I'm afraid cheap gents clothes look cheap, full stop. A cheap suit or shirt never looks like high-class tailoring even when it's new. It fits where it touches, rather than fits well. Low priced jeans do not resemble designer labels in look. A case of having to spend a bit. And beware of totally ruining the whole look of a pricey outfit with cheap shoes. For some reason, it always does. Where to go now? Well, thrift stores and high-street chains or independent stores that are clearly 'there' for younger people (you'll spot them by their style and general look and feel). Thrift stores, you might pick-up genuine labels, but you may have little choice as to size and fit. High-street, go for the stuff that resembles the real thing. Again, for 'later in life' - avoid copies or fakes. They don't fool anyone really and do not make a great statement about you when they're sussed. OK..ladies. I'm not making you out as shallow and how a guy dresses/looks are the only factor. But you have to agree that the primary attraction IS appearance between strangers (potential new partners!) and appearance is ALL you have to attract attention. You find out whether you like their personality LATER. Without a primary attraction, how will you ever get to know WHAT kind personality or qualities they have?? Smart implies care, attention to detail, self-esteem and confidence. And like attracts like, don't you think?

Hi there! I wanted to say that more important than the clothes is the man's attitude when he walks, talks, and the way he carries himself. Doesn't matter what he looks like. You could go to the thrift store and they have brand name clothing and super cheap. Even some days they have 1/2 off too! Just make sure to wash the clothes once you get them and if you can't get to the laundry mat and in college, spray AXe or favorite cologne on it. I love it when my man wears that! What you usually wears seems just fine for a college guy! Cargos, t-shirts, sweatshirts! That's college for you and sounds perfect!
