First impressions matter.
Attractiveness is controversial, yet here's the truth: How you present yourself is paramount. When you value your peace, interests, and body, you gain respect for yourself, along with the respect of everyone else (But that's a secondary benefit). The way to take care of yourself is by Dressing Right.
Contrary to common belief, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars every few months to dress sharply. You just need a few essential pieces to do the trick!
Here are 5 essential pieces for a timeless wardrobe
A pair of white shoes
A white sneaker is a guaranteed home run. You can pair it with almost any attire.
Get a simple white shoe with a minimal design, and don't give it a second thought while wearing it. It is however important to keep the shoe clean; the white glow is what gives you the "clean" look.

2. A pair of dress pants
Pants are the base of your outfit. They determine the shape, color, and coordination of the rest of the attire. A neutral color like navy blue, black, beige, or white is the best choice. Tailor your pants to fit you, not stick to you, and it will complement your body better. Jeans and joggers are good in their own right, but our goal here is to get you a versatile and essential pair. A dress pants or a khaki elevates your style, you can wear them casually (and look sharper), or wear them formally with suits and shirts.

I recommend getting a darker color, like black or navy blue, as your first pair and to get the brighter colors, like white and beige, later to deepen your wardrobe.
3. A handsome crewneck
A handsome crewneck latches on to your body with an elegant yet bold look. Style it however way you want it; replace it as a shirt and show off your physique, tuck it in and pair it with a blazer for a formal event, or use it to layer up (while still looking good). Do not get ones with labels or blatant logos on them. Aim for neutral color, only wear blatant colors if you're wearing it as a statement piece (but do what your heart pleases, you'll look good, as long as you love it).

5. A woolen jacket
This is the final layer for your outfit. These woolen jackets have a certain shape for themselves, which emanates to your silhouette. This is such a game-changer because it accentuates your shoulders, and gives your upper body a strong look. These woolen jackets are very easy to style; they can be worn on top of almost any upperwear, not to mention the wool feels amazing (A good conversation starter).

These woolen jackets are the most priciest items in this list. However, they are worth the purchase. Not only is your outfit 10x better when layered, but a woolen jacket also sets apart your torso and limbs, giving you a taller look. I should mention that It's not making you taller, all it is doing is making you look bolder. Which is what your style should all be about.
