first, start off with casual pieces that tend to have a lower margin of error
jeans, loosish tops, tees, sweaters, belts, sneakers, that kind of thing. Go for classic canvas/rubber sneakers, no mesh shit. No ripped jeans, and make sure they aren't skinny fit either.

then, go upwards on the formality spectrum just a little.
measure your neck and find some dress shirts in that size, white and blue are pretty safe but patterns and pastels can also work. 5 of these should do you quite well. Avoid stubby short collars and anything not 100% cotton.

then a casual blazer or sport coat (look up the difference between those and a suit jacket, don't fuck it up and wear a shiny suit jacket with jeans)
ties are also fairly cheap second hand, and fun to combine with your shirts as long as you know what you're doing (no big bulky knots that don't fit under the collar, don't forget the dimple, avoid fugly 90s printed ties, etc)
this is also around the time you should be getting dress shoes. dark brown at this stage. avoid bright tan shoes and square toes.

Then get one good dark-colored suit off ebay or etsy, at the very least 50% if not 100% wool, make sure you have your measurements right (measure your chest and put that number in front of you and then L (6"4, you probably wear a long), and then your waist size (example: "41L 32 navy suit wool")
then get some black dress shoes.

all of this stuff should be fairly acessible on ebay and while thrifting (though the latter may be hard if you're tall)

At that point you have everything you need, everything any man should have already. From there, don't be afraid to experiment with different combos, styles that speak to you and your tastes/lifestyle, and keep learning, keep looking for inspiration, and keep adjusting your style to match your life, or if shits that kind of bad, the other way around.
