content: First of all, one of the most important things for a good look is that clothes fit well. Not too small, not too large.Here's an example, for jeans:http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/how-to-buy-jeans-chart/That website is very helpful.For jeans I like Levi's. I don't know how expensive they are in Spain but in my country's market they're okay and the quality is good. Get something that lasts and take care of it. Jeans last a lot. If you have to pick two, pick a dark blue and maybe a kaki one.The good thing about using the same brand of jeans for me is that when I need a new pair I know how it will for, so I don't have to try 3 different sizes, I only need to try one or maybe two.Lucky you... You have a beard... I'd like one. Here's a good place to learn how to take care of that sort of thing:http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/category/grooming/This guy also specializes in personal image but he has a younger spirit:http://www.iamalpham.com/He does makeovers to guys sometimes, if you find a guy like you, watch the video and get some ideas.Get a cool Casio watch, they're cheap and good quality, if you can.Dave has a store with cool tshirts on sale, you know. Check that one out. Pick a size that you think will fit and order only oneShoes. I took a look at Amazon, found some things. I have 2 types of shoes:1 disposable crap2 loyal companionsTo me, 1 pair of good quality shoes that go with everything (que combinan con todo) are better than 3 pairs of bad uncomfortable shoes that will break.I think shoes depend a lot on how you look and how old you want to look. I look 21 on some clothes and 16 on others. I'm 19.Currently, 1 pair of puma sneakers that are getting old and worn. Comfortable as fuck. Some cheap sandals, another pair of sneakers made out of a material we call in spanish gamusa (I think suede?) and a pair of nautica boating shoes made from real animal suede as well. They are very comfortable for being a real shoe and not sneakers. There's a pair of boating shoes I got for like US$15 on discount and they are absolute garbage. Did they look good? Yes. But guess what. On the first weeks it damaged my skin, then on the rain it painted my feet blue (they are blue). I lasted an hour getting that off... and now they are all broken. That's why I bought nautica...Long story short, on shoes: you really get what you pay forLong story shoet for other clothes: you pay for the label 75% of the time. The other 25% applies many (not all) to formal clothes.I recommend you take a look at both of the sites I suggested before paying a lot of money you may not have. And yes, sometimes they go overboard (exageran) on some things, like specialty products for grooming... just please... I do just fine with the shampoo I get on the supermarket...
