What does it mean to dress for yourself?
I started by appreciating how characters dress in movies, TV shows, even fashion adverts. (And yes I enjoy how the male characters dress, even though I’m hetero.) It’s a kind of art, kind of beauty.
Then it becomes a hobby, where I try out combinations of clothes, and it’s fun seeing what works and what doesn’t (with myself being the judge).
So I do this for myself and not for other people, but funnily it is possible that at some point, like you pointed out, it started benefitting me socially. There are still some snobbier restaurants in my city that turned my friends away, while the far less financially successful me got in…

what do you think of these outfits that i got ChatGPT to generate for me....
The one thing that jumps out to me is that the textual descriptions are all, IMO, bullshit. Picking outfits from those options that you like is fine, but I wouldn’t be guided by the descriptors of “a casual yet creative vibe” and all that.

UK Men, where do you find 'Men's Quarter Zip Jumper'?? I only see Next, UNIQLO, and Reiss.
I won’t dispute what wearing it does or doesn’t look like, I’ll just mention why I like it: I like the “layers” it creates at the collar area. You have the shirt collars, then the quarter zip, and then the coat/jacket lapels. Similar to having a scarf, in a way.

FWIW I have a quarter zip from John Smedley, thrifted from ebay, but it is pretty lightweight.

Also, I thought merino doesn’t necessarily mean thin?

I also never realized that quarter zip is supposed to not be fashionable. I wear them and thought they look good. No comment on whether I look like a middle aged dad.

Versatile suit fabrics
It’s not a direct answer to your question, but could you just go to the tailor and browse through their swatches book? Otherwise, try googling « zegna anteprima », and find sites thst have pictures from it - I think Zegna creates great swatchbook pictures.
As was mentioned, the classic colors like Navy are going to be most versatile, but for tan or camel, I am partial to camel colored Prince of Wales check myself, a bit like: https://d3aefbmawe1c9c.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/17_Anteprima-AW2021-22.jpg
A lot of colors, including tan or camel, are safe to pair with a wide range of shirts. The more difficult part of your requirements might be about it being all-season. Depending on where you live, a winter fabric jacket is going to be way too hot for summer, and a linen jacket looks wrong outside summer. So you’ll have to specific look for mid weight fabric of wool or something like wool-silk-linen. In general I think having a lighter fabric jacket is more versatile, which you can layer with jumpers, scarves, or coats during winter.

Good vintage marketplaces in mainland Europe/Germany
Vestiaire Collective? More of a second hand luxury marketplace than real vintage stuff though.
