How do I dress more "classy"? Usually I wear casual street shit and I think it looks good when I'm with my peers (uni student) but recently I got a new job (not a suit-and-tie kind of thing though) and I look like a teenager or a fratboy there and I feel kinda embarrassed.
What basic outfit pieces do I need to fix this?

pic related, everyone fucking looks this way

Dress business casual and laugh at everyone for having shit taste.

What you will need:

>shoes
Bruchers, brogues should do the trick. Dont buy cheap shit.
>chinos/dress pants
>dress shirts
>blazers/sports jackts
>accessories (watch, pocket square, ring)

Buy good quality and expensive things, fit is N1 priority.

Just buy khakis and a collared long-sleeve buttoned shirt. DON'T tuck it.
Nobody gives a fuck about shoes, as long as they're either loafers or sneakers.
That's all you really need.

Go to any shopping mall and you find expensive stores that cater to "classy" when you can find the exact same shit at a JC Penney's for less. Don't cuck yourself. You don't need a lot of money to dress with class.

You're rare. One of the elusive 1% that knows how to dress post-high school. I appreciate that.

Different situations require different ways of dressing. Recognizing that and dressing yourself appropriately is part of being an adult.

Honestly, man just do you. If it's not a suit and tie thing/dressing up isn't required then wear whatever the fuck you want.

As you are no longer a uni student, it would be a good idea to get some dressier stuff for certain occasions, but if you can really wear whatever to work, then wear it.

For my job I have to wear a suit. And yes, my suits are tailored and expensive and I look good in them (and would be met with approval from your colleagues no doubt), but fuck if that shit is my personality. What I'm saying is, you're lucky enough to not have to dress up at your job, embrace it.

>>12268069
No, he's right.

There's no demographic I loathe more than fart-sniffing "young professionals"--which is what I deal with every day and it sounds like OP is dealing with here.

Personally, I can't stand the thought of "men's wear"/"classy"/Chinos-and-Chelsea-Boots style on myself. If it's somebody else's thing then that's just fine. And it doesn't look bad or anything, it's just sooooo not my personality. A very limited space in my wardrobe is that and it's mainly for date or something.


OP, be your own person.

This guy is a model, he's dressed like a model, moreover he's middle aged.

>"hurr dress like this post high school"

You're like a slightly more acceptable version of full on neckbeards wanting to dress like "classy" 40's movie characters twice their age.

I'm with you on this one.
I don't have to deal with those kind of people either but I hate the whole GQ style young classy professional look.

Tailored suits look great.
Full casual stuff looks great.
In between looks not so good to me.
Maybe it's because my city is full of techies who try to into fashion but are too autistic to do it right so they all end up looking the same (bad).

Not the guy you're talking to but the blazer is of a pretty "edgy" cut, not to mention the huge lapels. That model is clearly muscular, making the lapels a bit more workable, but that just highlights that it's not workable on most people. His point is valid. Is your idea of how people should dress really --that?" Post high school literal uni student 19, 20 year olds should be dressing like some European CFO at the Monaco Grand Prix--complete with shirt unbuttoned Fabio style?

I can dress appropriately for a situation while still having an interesting outfit rather than going to Uniqlo or Jcrew and picking up a 'I got my first job' weeks worth of clothes

Anyone got inspo or a timblr/blog that shows similar inspo ?
I'm in the same situation as OP. I always dress in urban/street style since I was a kid but now that I'm in my mid twenties and soon working in an office, I'd like to buy some new clothes and actually dress like someone of my age.

I would never put myself into a company that has those sort of past century practices. To answer your question though, you can still have interesting style of dress for these situations; something like CDG shirt is a good example. Ideally if I had to work at a company that had such meetings it would also be a company that doesn't care about appearances as long as you aren't a disheveled mess. A plain nice tshirt and pants with some interesting shoes would do fine for that case.
