Hey /fa/ How do I stop dressing like a Kid/Teen and Start dressing like an adult?
Im 22 years old and am studying an Accounting/Law double degree and just got a summer clerkship at professional services firm. Work wear is simple; suit and tie but I need help getting dressed for out of work.
My wardrobe is quite street wearish with a few short chinos and polos. I just generally want to dress more mature.
However, the thing is, all my friends are young 18-23 and dress effay fuccboi-ish so If I start dressing like a 45 year old divorced, golf-playing father I will look autistic.
So is there a way I can start to dress more adult-like and mature without overdoing it and dressing way too old and looking autistic?
Some climate info: I live in Straya so Summers are damn hot; 27C-42C (80.6F-107.2F for my ameribros), Winters are cold as normal.

YOUR ENTIRE POST IS RENDERED SUPERFLUOUS DUE TO YOUR FLAWED PREMISE; VIDELICET: THE CHILD/ADULT SPURIOUS DICHOTOMY.
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF "DRESSING LIKE A CHILD, OR LIKE AN ADULT" —WHATEVER YOU MEAN BY THAT—, BUT A MATTER OF DRESSING IN ACCORDANCE TO ONE'S PERSONAL STYLE; IT IS NOT A MATTER OF "DRESSING MORE MATURELY", BUT OF PERFECTING ONE'S STYLE.

Wear what you like, don't put too much thought into "maturity", especially you are young enough to get away with anything. Find pictures of styles that you like and take inspiration from them. Most people here are like 17 and clueless so don't browse here too much.
In Australia it's pretty much impossible to not end up wearing just a t-shirt most of the time. To look more mature (and better in general) make sure to not wear graphic tees. When it's not too hot wear a button up shirt. Jeans are fine as long as they fit well and aren't shit/cheap, also some linen pants are great since they are the coolest fabric in the heat and don't need to be jeans. Instead of flashy branded sneakers like a hypebeast teenager, get more minimal ones.
Most importantly save up for some really good not-so-formal derbies which you can wear almost anywhere, and some boots for winter. In Australia just wear derbies and boots make you stand out as more fashionable (assuming it's done well) as fucking everyone just wears depressingly shitty sneakers here.
Make sure you are shopping at the adult section of the store.

thanks for the useful tips man!
OP I think they key point for you is that dressing maturely is synonymous with dressing appropriately. It's what separates being a boy and a man, in my opinion.
You'll only look like a "45 year old divorced golf-playing father" if you dress inappropriately for the situation. I can't tell you specifics since it depends what you like.
It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it. Tshirt and jeans can look good as long as they fit well and are the right kind. No ironic sayings or logos, no sleeve wings, no tearing at the end of the pant legs, etc
>>12101397
When you're buying clothes, stick to things that look "classic"
Ask your self if it appropriate enough to wear to church.
Ask yourself if you've seen other people dressed the same.
Don't be afraid to ask the people working the store if a certain combination is appropriate for the event.
At the very least, just go to topman or some shit and buy some basics. Stay away from season all trends. And don't buy anything with the zipper on the side.

>what are semiotics
Retards who don't understand fashion shouldn't post about it
>>12101397
Copy copy copy, copy everything at the end of the copy you will find yourself
Also keep in mind young people should not concern themselves with clothes too much young people are beautiful enough their focuses should be elsewhere

Others said it, ill shorten.
> upper: no tees. No logos. No branding. Plain colors and patterns. Find unique fabrics, fits, and textures.
> buy one pair selvedge denim jeans that cost over US$100 and those are now your jeans
> buy one pair beige chinos with no pleats in front
> shoes: throw away all sneakers, those are really huge "I am a child" signs. Men wear subtle brown/black leather shoes
The toughest thing bro, is wearing a tucked in shirt when none of your friends do. You feel like a fucking tool.

Chinos and oxfords instead of sneakers and jeans does all the work, man.
Ever notice how white supremacist Zionist stooges are always incoherent in all their arguments which consist of cliched, almost caricaturised phrases like this:
>>12101861
They don't even make sense within the context of the conversation. Like disconnected, ready-made excretions of an illiterate mind.

Earth tones, no designs. I wear only earth tone plain shirts along with buttonups and chinos/khakis. I think this is mature without looking aspie
