Personal experience:
NOTE: I don't care if it's too long to read. I'm just giving my two cents about the way you are dressed is almost always what people see/judge first.
I wasn't always the very "proper" / well-dressed kid when I was in high-school. I was almost always rock those baggy pants/cargo pants/short pants with dress shirt and didn't care about my sense of fashion at all. (If it's comfortable, I wear it, if it looks good for me, I wear it). Now that I'm in college and working (about a year ago), I started to see how it would make someone looks very good when they dress properly. First impression, they often look at what you are wearing. This is not a joke. First, I started of by buying the right size of clothing, different combinations of socks (I will post a guide for socks and other fashion stuff later, if you guys really appreciate/need help with it), later I just added my own style. Believe me when I say this:
Well boy, I have received so many compliments about how I look. From friends and co-workers. Even now that the impression of the guy (me) who is always wearing "proper"/spiffy clothing stick with them. I don't mean to brag by any means, but it is good to leave a good impression at people.
P.S You want to dress accordingly. Right place and at the right time.
Sorry for the long post.
