Help, I don’t know how to dress

I always used to dress very basic but I want to dress nicer. I have been trying to find a style that works for me over the past couple of months and it has been a struggle. I’m 24 but I still look like a teenager and it’s really hard to find a style that doesn’t look awkward or out of place. Does any one have any suggestions for a style that could work with my facial structure/body type?

Brands for Long Arms

Any recs? Off the rack are usually too short in the limbs for me. Know I ultimately need to look at measurements, but any general guidance on brands that have longer arms would be helpful.

Where to find cropped white t-shirt

Small question: I love my plain white t-shirts from muji, except for how long they are. Does anyone know a good source for similar quality/price t-shirts with a more cropped cut? My plan-B is to crop the t-shirts I already have, but that's a pain in the ass.

I like this vintage leather bomber but does it make me look too boxy?

I think this is very cool but make my wide shoulders look ridiculously wide. What do you think?

Classic vs original 1k miles wolverines

I grabbed some originals for 200, but should I have waited on a sale for the "classics" with the different sole? People telling me the classics are much more comfortable.

flannel over band tee

is a graphic tee really that bad under a flannel? i asked my teenage sister what she thinks and she laughed saying i should only wear a plain shirt under it, but i really don't see what's wrong with this look. i do have a plain black shirt to wear under this, but i prefer wearing my band tee as it looks less formal to me. thoughts?

Bucket hats and tailoring

I’ve been experimenting with bucket hats and tailoring lately. I feel like most of these outfits are near misses rather than successes. I’ve attached some images of me, and a few of my inspo images. Can you help me identify where I might be going wrong? Thanks in advance.

Do raglan sleeves on coats get shortened from the shoulder or the sleeves?

Do raglan sleeves typically get shortened from the sleeve ends or the shoulders? If they’re shortened from the sleeve ends, would it mess things up to re-taper the sleeves after shortening? I have a coat with raglan sleeves that are a tad bit long. A local seamstress previously shortened sleeves like these from the sleeve ends, but this method widened the sleeve openings which I didn’t like. I suppose I could ask her to re-taper the sleeves after shortening, but I’m willing to pay a little more if there is a better/“proper” way to do this....

How to make a decent outfit decision based on inspo?

So as I've said before here, I've got a fashion inspiration folder on my Mac that I've been filling up with stuff, mostly from magazines. And as you can see on the right, theres about 112 items in the folder (probably including subfolders, but still). The volume does make it harder to sort through all the photos and decide which one I'm feeling like, but also sometimes I'm not sure what image to replicate. So... how can I effectively and easy choose an outfit from my inspo folder?...

Abercrombie Essential Tees vs Uniqlo U Crewnecks

I’ve worn Abercrombie essential tees for the last year. They are soft and I like the fit of them for layering or on their own. I recently started shopping at Uniqlo and came across the U Crewneck t-shirt.
How do the 2 compare to each other? I would assume they would more or less be of the same quality. Might cop some of the Uniqlo ones to try out. TIA!...

What's wrong with these jeans?

I love these jeans, except how they always bunch up around the crotch. Waist, thighs, length all fit great. Maybe it's a women's cut? What's going on here?
