For a long time, I didn't have too much confidence when I went shopping for clothes. I would invariably drag along an elder cousin who had a little fashion sense. Besides the obvious lack of sartorial confidence I was also lacking in general confidence to walk into stores and demand for outfits and fabrics. So along came my poor cousin though he didn't mind.
Now with my general lack of confidence in dressing I also would choose safe and sober colors. Since I have a darkish complexion all my shirts would be light colors - light brown, blue, grey. No yellows, reds. And designs? Again plain - no checks, no stripes no nothing. My cousin would cajole me, coax me and finally threaten me to take a slightly bold pattern.
Over the next few years the awkwardness subsided and I started going off for shopping alone though company was welcome. Usually it was mates from my workplace and we would generally home into some sale and have a shopping orgy with price being the main factor. Then the stripes became a stable feature and I also experimented with half sleeves (which earlier was a no-no due to my skinny arms).
The big day came when I started buying checks and a few bold patterns. By now I was a connoisseur of fashion and had developed a reputation for conservative yet stylish fashion sense. So people would now take me for their shopping requirements!! Personal stylists anyone???
All in all I would say, men need and can only experiment with their shirts. The trousers are pretty much restricted to the standard lot and don't vary much.
Anyway, if you still need more suggestions and tips on dressing and designs you can go to this awesome design site where you will get inspired to figure out an eclectic wardrobe for yourself!
