Do your own research. Find inspiration from how others dress & incorporate certain pieces that fit you. Don’t be afraid to be different. I’m a fat nikka that rock all black. I get a lot of compliments when it comes to my shoes cause I like flashy kicks that stand out. Name brands matter to a certain extent (depending on your age) but just do you & add flavor to that. I get most of my shyt tailored cause I don’t like baggy. I shop online for exclusive shyt.

Thanks for contributing breh. I'm not asking about finding your style. Thats a case by case thing.
just where to get better qualities pieces yall trust, how to care for them and if theres any extra sauce that goes a long way. Like one of my homeboys swears by his eyewear/frames. He'll drop 400+ on glasses and tailors everything

There's a whole goddamn chasm between fast fashion stores like Zara and actual fashion.
Pretty rare for a "lesser known" brand to be particularly affordable compared to what they sell at Bloomingdale's. The indie fashion brands just don't have the production scale to be competitive on price.
I think you can get a lot of value at grailed.com for second hand designer. You can't really go wrong with the classics, the ones that rappers name drop, just hard to get them at a good price.
The folks at weargustin.com try to avoid some of the traditional issues with indie fashion by preselling their stuff and the craftsmanship is pretty solid.
Some less talked about designer brands might be Billy Reid, Vince, Nid de Guepes. The Japanese crehs like Kapital and Undercover have some bangers some times. Theory and Rag and Bone are a little better known but always worth checking for. All these ones are pretty expensive though.

Zara, H&M and comparable stores all have to go. Everybody shops there, there isn't a coordinated look within the stores themselves, just cheapness.
Get a good tweed overcoat. The overcoat immediately separates you from everyone else.
Now is the time to start looking as they are fall pieces. Clearances should be up and running. Not sure which stores in the States you would go to for that. Macy's or higher end department stores like that I suppose.
Grab some brown and black loafers with memory cushion. When I'm switching from Jordans I hate feeling the concrete like you would in a converse.
Confidence and coordination will do more than any clothing suggestion I could give you.

those memory foam loafers are clutch. Ill look into the tweed overcoats too man.
what are some store/online store suggestions?
Here ya go, fam. 
Not gonna lie, if I was young, I'd rock this.
And the ends of his locks are white.
But, seriously, I just came across this Korean fashion store. It looks like they only carry previous season items, but who cares, you'd be the only person in your area rocking this stuff anyway.

I only shop in store and I'm in Canada, we don't have the same stores.
The brehs who said to go foreign with your clothes aren't lying. That East Asian quality is A+.
Just keep doing what you doing , but don’t get to trendy.
Mack Weldon for casual stuff.
start searching online, and you’ll get more recommendations on IG.
it doesn’t have to be pricey. My favorite brand for Ts is 32 degrees. Shirts be like 5 bucks but if you’re in shape they fit perfect
high quality basics like 2 jeans (200 +) 2 chino/slacks (200+) 2-3 jackets (300+). everything else high quality but can go cheaper. you want fabric that feels and looks good, nice cuts that compliment. no words or logos minimal . ive had girls tell me how nice the fabrics are on my clothing. my go to is rag and bone, theory, vince etc for basics. most importantly no made in china crap. shop for clothing made in usa, canada, portugal etc. i transitioned from junk to almost rocking made in usa and italy exclusively .
1) Have only tailored my pants. I kinda OCD about my pant being well fitting.
2) Grailed, TheRealReal, Ebay, Ssense when they have sales, and the retailers of brands I like websites.
3) air dry if you have time.
4) Shoes, Outwear, and Accessories should always have a thought process behind buying them. Not only do these draw the most attention when it comes to outfits, but they have the most utility of all the clothing items you can own. A Badly invested pair of shoes can ruin your whole night comfort wise, badly invested Outwear piece will not keep you warm.
On top of that, shoes honestly make or brake outfits. Your chemistry of your shoes in relation to the rest of your outfit affect how good or bad it can or will be. For example, (this a fit I wore) a jean jacket with a grey sweater and black Uniqlo chinos looks completely when I chose to wear my white Common projects Achilles lows and when I throw on my Cole Haans black oxfords.
Theres more I could get into.Im only 24 for but I been into fashion since my freshmen year of college. A lot of style changes both look wise and quality wise.
DMV nikkas know how to dress it up and down. they put on the Balances as well as them peeping the Adidas sweats from soccer folks. Theres so much more. Ill argue DMV folks dress better than NYC folks on average.
I feel like if you are under 30 there is a lot of fukkery because the fashion icons for those demographics are rappers who dress like the black version of 90s rockers.
And the result is clothing/style that doesn't translate well for real life. The result is you dressing ins way that you will get you basically zero bytches and zero employment.
No wonder currently we have the highest number of male virgins under 30 at anytime recorded.
