How can this be styled?
This is the one of the rare occation that Ibought something for myself. I think it looks weird and unique but I kinda like it, but I don't know how I can style it since i've never been good at styling or fashion in general..

it's easy to lean into the grandpa vibes with it (pleated pants and button down in neutral colors, a loafer)
i'd imagine you could also juxtapose it with more 'youthful' (for lack of a better word) pieces - a t-shirt, jeans or long shorts, chunky sneakers, more obvious accessories
i think your particular style will dictate a lot though
Okay I'll try it thank you!
btw @zeometer as someone who is only starting at fashion what do you think are some must have clothes?
that's going to depend on your lifestyle, where you live and your personal tastes
if you haven't yet, read some of the guides in #

You could play it straight or use it for a street style oriented look.
As someone who also fell in love with a similar cardigan, my advice is to start simple with jeans and a plain tee. Grampa-core is ok too
I tried it but I'm not sure if this works.. also is it normal that I look bulky in this one even though I'm not that big?
Or what can I do to make it look less bulky
Looks good! I think the 'bulkiness' is just something you get used to if it's the first piece of clothing like that that you've tried. Definitely doesn't look too bulky from an outside point of view
what accessory would compliment the cardigan more?
I'm not the biggest expert on accessories tbh, a nice necklace or chain or something could be cool if that feels like your style. Maybe a watch, baseball cap... it depends which direction you wanna take it like Zeo mentioned in the first answer
Im not sure but maybe this is a matter of proportions: chinos look a bit too slim for me. Or maybe wear the cardigan open
yeah those chinos are doing you no favors imo, they're fucking up the silhouette.
