1 Black Suit (mysuitshop.com $300)
1 Pair of Jeans (APC New Standard, APC.fr $150)
3 Washed relaxed shirts (J Crew, $45-$60)
1 Clarks Desert Boot (Zappos $95)
3 Dress shirts (white, baby blue, gray Jantzentailor.com $50)
1 V-neck white (American Apparel $8)
1 Leather jacket (Black Scissors, $200)
This is the standard list of my wardrobe and i feel that it matches my age and income level... except that I have like 6 suits now.. i cant control myself..
This is what some refer to as "StyleForum" steez. The forum is where people gather to show off what they wear and hop onto hype brands and clothing.
Getting a subscription to GQ would definitely help steer you in the right direction. Beware to not take all their advice, just choose what you like. Good luck!

Aren't those the skinny jeans Artosis was talking about? 
Anyways, I'm kinda in a similar position. I have very little clothes to look "nice." Recently, I went out and bought two nice sweaters, one cotton, other cashmere. I honestly have to say they were definitely worth it. However, as for pant-wear, I still only have jeans... Literally. Four pairs of jeans, one pair of slacks (for a suit)... Nothing else, haha.

I don't get why guys like tight pants ... don't your gonads get mashed up every time you move?
Nice find in teextile ... interesting alternative to threadless.com

dude, you wanna look like a tranny with that tight leather jacket?
Buy a long black coat or if leather below the waist.

H&M is a fantastic place to get good clothes.

negative. leather jackets come in alot of styles. stick to tight/slim fitting ones that arent too cropped. However, leather jackets are not supposed to go below your waist. buying a leather jacket that is too large or long makes you look tacky.

Don't get cheap walmart suits. The danger of cheap suits is that they can be really low quality, have bad quality, wear out easily. Second, you want someone who knows what they're doing to measure you and such. I like men's wearhouse for affordable suits/accessories.
About the pictures above, the problem with buying something that looks good on an actor/model is that often it looks good because they look good. It doesn't always translate well, especially if your build is different.
The problem with shopping is either you/a friend has to know about clothes or the retailer has to know. So if you go to a department store and don't know exactly what you're looking for, you might buy something crappy. Middle to higher end stores with good representatives don't have this problem, but you don't get bargains either, unless you go at the end of season when they're selling off their stock.
And where not to shop: old navy. I bought some shirts from there, and the color faded so fast, and the fabric looked blotchy.

my favorite jeans are UJ from uniqlo. they are soooo super comfy and they look really good too.

I wish I had taste for fashion, but I don't so I'm in same position as OP. It seems to mainly comes down to developing an eye for what is good on you personally, with hair, eyes, physique, and also coming to understand what kind of lady's fashion you like, and then suit yourself in the men's version of that. Sounds a bit shallow but there are totally diff looks that are going about.

Sapraedon, do they charge customs on clothes from yesstyle? Also I'll probably be asking you for future fashion tips, I like your dress sense and you seem to be a similar build to me.

H&M
Express
Nordstrom
Bloomingdales
Neiman Marcus

I'll post my question here as well. Where is a good place to find pea coats like the one in Sapraedon's post (something not too formal that someone in their 20's would wear).
here is the pic i'm talking about from his post

oh man...I don't think i'll do well with tights...it seems so painfull 
however, i saw a lot of korean guys wear tight jeans when i went to korea last year for vacation...I was the only one wearing regular straight jeans -_-;
|
That one was from H&M. Roughly £50. Nicely priced. Good quality. I didn't really want one with a large collar.
Edit: Also, I don't believe they charge customs on yesstyle since I've never had to pay anything extra on top of the p&p and listed price.
