Alright. I've been thinking about sticking out a little more by what I wear. All my life I've pretty much been just a really simple person. The usual jeans and a T-Shirt are about my every day attire. Mostly neutral colors too. Right now my 'style' is pretty much a cross between a skater, and the average working guy. Now, when I say skater, I'm not talking about baggy ass pants. Just the comfortable fit. T-shirts are pretty plain which is what I like.
Now, I need some ideas/suggestions on maybe spicing up this style. I really don't want to stray too far away from it. But, I would like to stick out a bit more.
OH. Hair ideas too. Right now it's about a medium length.

I mostly wear a hat, but I'd like a few ideas for when I go out....
Don't just use clothes - confident people alway's stand out no matter how shit their clothes are, use your body language, laugh, voice modulation, and eye gazing. A clean business shirt and good tie will always bring attention to people, but I know you're not just going to start suiting it up just yet. Infact theres many things you can do; always wear clean shoes, it will make you stick out like nothing else, especially white ones. Buy designer clothes; T-shirts, Polos, Jeans, Shoes, Jackets. You get what you pay for; people know money when they see it and a good brand will bring everyones attention. Sunglasses, not many people can pull off sunglasses, but if you can, good on you. A good watch - this will always make you stand out - I tend to wear big silver shiney watches with diamond studs, when the sun catches it... Fuck yeah, homes. Bracelets and necklaces, try everything to badazzle an outfit. Scarves, I don't know about you but when someone wearing a scarf walks past they grab my attention, I prefer silk scarves. Belt and earrings. Good colours that stick out, are of course; Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple. Try not to over do it (too much, too bright) Try and find two peices of clothing with the same colour... example: Green tshirt and green sneaks, blue jeans. The hairs cool, man. Just try different styles and see what you like. You should first try shaving it off - That's what i've done and i'm keeping it. It's niceee.

Do not shave it off, it looks like you'd have a serious widows peak.
Grow it out and keep it messy.

wear bright colored shirts. i like green, yellow, an red. pink also works well. dont worry if the shirt has a collar or not, just make sure their aint any stains on it. an make sure it fits you well. baggy stuff makes you look fat.
get some cool shoes. they dont have to be white, just as long as the look crisp. i like those new balances that ccome in cool colors. an keep em clean.
get pants that fit you well. that is most guys mistake, they buy pants that dont fit their ass. i mean, guys have asses too, an girls like to look at em just as much as we like to look at theirs. so you know, get pants that fit.
I think your hair looks ok as is. maybe a bit shorter, an use some gel. Hats are good, just make sure it aint something that only goes with one or two things. i dont wear much jewelry (watches included) so i cant give advice on that. but i would stay away from big flashy things. you want her to look at you, not your wrist right.
other advice is floss, brush your teeth twice a day. wear deodorant, an if you wear cologne go easy on it. maybe a dab on the wrist an one more on the neck an that should be it.

I wear baggy evisu jeans, they don't make me look fat. Another thing, I overdo it on the aftershave (cologne) I find it looses 'power' after afew hours, and that's good aftershave (armani,prada and burberry touch).

Try wearing more button-up shirts and dress shirts. You can also experiment with polos. Get the ones that fit you nicely and are not overly fitted or too loose.
For the jeans, buy some Levi's 511s, the slim-fit ones.
Get some nice casual shoes like converse Jack Purcell, Lacoste Carnaby etc. The ones that look too athletic or running shoes should only be worn when you are training, going to a gym, sports etc.
Definitely get a nice watch. Try to avoid all those shiny big-looking gold and silver bracelets and necklaces.
Get a nice pea coat for the winter.
