I'm a fashion designer. Take it from me.

To stand out you need to understand fashion. Kenzo, armani, all the brands you mentioned are complete crap and not fashion. They might have been 'fashion' at one point in time, but not any more.

What you want to learn about is VINTAGE high fashion. Brands like Margiela and Prada were amazing back in the days, but they've sold out over time because of consumer culture. So you want to look back at those pieces. Old margiela, prada, helmut lang, miu miu, comme de garçons, st.laurent.

If you dont have the money for it, what you need to do is shop at vintage stores, and find pieces that LOOK like them. Most second hand vintage store have nice stuff if you know how to look, and if you shop around you might find one that's consistent. Also grailed.com is a great place to get nice clothes.

So to sum up, you want to emulate the vintage classy pieces. This will make you stand out because you don't look like a materialistic small dick prick, and you'll look classy and sophisticated as fuck. Cheers brother.

Get a nice pair of sunglasses (my favorite are Carrera, but Gargoyles, Versace, and Cazal are dope too), a nice watch (you can never go wrong with a classic diver), and a nice jacket (careful with leather--not everyone can pull it off).

Right there, you'll have a your standard stylish gear set that you can wear on most occasions. For shirts and pants...

Polo shirts (not the brand) are kind of out of fashion these days, but if you're decently buff you could probably make it look good. For your preppy environment, I recommend nice fitting short-sleeve button ups and simple t-shirts that don't have logos on them. When you go with no-logo shirts, you can save money and get low buck stuff. If people give you shit for your lack of branded shirts, just know that the richest people on the planet, the Mark Zuckerbergs, the Jeff Bezos's, the Elon Musks, don't wear super expensive looking clothing. If they don't, you shouldn't have to either.

Last but not least, color coordination...do it if you can. In the best of situations, your clothes should project a sense of balance and harmony.

Lift so your clothes will be a good fit

Don't get the designer brands because they scream "My father's money is the best thing that ever happened to me"

And for your age I think biker style is pretty good

But don't wear gay shit and keep it plain and cohesive

stuff with big name brands on them are for poor people, trying to look rich

pick a style that matches your personality. skater? wear streetwear. prep? wear button down shirts and chinos

read malefashionadvice subreddit wiki

for colours, you have four main options:

monochrome: different shades of the same colour (say blue, or grayscale)
monochrome + neutral: different shades of the same colour, plus white, grey or black
triadic: say indigo (jeans) with camel coloured jacket and a olive shirt
triadic + neutral: as above but with a white, grey, or black shirt

go to paletton dot com for a triadic color wheel

keep clothes simple, but for bling, use accessories. cool watch (I like casio calculators), hat (I like Bailey), socks (Darn Tough), belt, shoelaces, sunglasses (American Optical Original Pilot)

Uniqlo is a good value
