Alright theres your first problem...
If you want to look good, go buy a few GQ's maybe some mens health and just flip through it, look at styles you like and styles you don't.
Fasion isn't cheap and people can tell when your cheap. Even though some people might not be able to tell the difference between a $20 dress shirt, and a $100 does not mean everyone, and if you want to dress to kill, don't cheap out on clothes.
Alright now you don't need to blow 100 bucks on a nice dress shirt, but definetely no wal-mart.
Try express, gap, etc. Banana Republic might be too pricey, but they sell some nice shirts. I got a black shirt from there. My favorite piece of clothing.
If your gonna get dress shirts, and you don't want to tuck it in, make sure the back isn't rounded. Also look for pleated dress shirts, they fit better and have a better look (Most companies are accomodating for americas average size).
Also when you look for a dress shirt, make sure it fits well, not loose or baggy.
If you normally wear a medium t-shirt, buy a small (unless the mediums are tight on you as it were). Make sure your clothes fit well, that will give you a classier look.
As for pants. Your gonna need a few styles. The first is the Jeans. Jeans are good for casual styling, fits best with untuck dress shirts and polo's. Make sure they're baggy but not too baggy. You want them to hang at the top of your shoes sole. Boot cuts are nice. again check out express for these.
The next thing your gonna want is to get a nice pair of pants. Not jeans, and definetely not cargo. Khaki's are nice because they go with anything. Blacks are good, but it limits you, no black on black unless you want people to think your a cop, etc.
Alright, after you get the pants and shirts, your gonna want some accessories. This can include shoes/watches/neclaces.
Shoes, I like the sketchers dress shoes, they're not too expensive, and they have a nice semi-casual look too them. There are nicer shoes, but you'll be looking at around 200 per pair for them. Plus you won't want to wear them as much.
Watches, definetely get a watch, make sure its classy. Nothing gaudy and stupid. Make sure it has some silver, matches more things, Gold's more of a bling factor. Shell out some good money on this, and you'll be happier.
Neclaces. This is really more of a personal preference thing. Whatever you feel most comfortable in works. I like simple things, they're more meaningful, etc.
Ties. Get a couple ties, quality isn't necesarily the most important. You can pay 20 bucks for one at penny's or 35 for an express. If you find something you like, buy it. But i've received much more compliments on my express ties than on anything else. Remember you get what you pay for. Only wear a tie if you tuck in your shirt, and be damn sure its strait and tight. It looks tacky to have a tie hanging on your neck.
Now because your not gonna want to deal with dress shirts every day, get some polo's. Again this is really a personal preference thing. I have blue eyes, so i try to wear a lot of blue to bring it out, but i also have some green which happens to be my fav color and some red. If you want to stand out, get some pinks and purples. Its not what you wear, its how you wear it.
Hmm what else is there to cover... Well thats all i can think of, if you got any questions feel free to ask.
