Biggest thing that's successful for me is being a half step off from the crowd, without regard to the event.
If it's work and very casual (lots of jeans and hoodies), I might wear a polo or fitted tee instead of a hoodie, or maybe my hoodie is better fit and material.
If it's a suit event, mine will be tailored where most guys will be their one poorly fit suit. I might have a pocket square, but tieless even if everyone else is in a tie. It's the little details - I'm not trying to show anybody up by obviously outdressing (like wearing a tux to a suit event, or a sports coat to a hoodie workplace), I'm just trying to present a bit more polished version of the accepted dress.
Getting noticed by women isn't about a genre of clothing - sure, they have their individual preferences, some really dig jeans and leather jackets, or whatever. I believe it's about being subtly noticable as different in a good way. Clean is usually good. Ironed is usually good. Fitted well is good. And each of those has their exceptions, but nobody is good at it until they understand the basic premise and had a lot of mileage in doing the basics right.
And while that is super awesome and I would totally notice and ogle from afar... I'd also shrink into a corner, because that kind of class wouldn't notice me... With my payless shoes, my Walmart jacket, and my amazon purse. 😊

I'm a firm believer that men make the clothes, the clothes don't necessarily make the man.
However, one of my biggest pet peeves is when a man still dresses like a teenager.
Jeans, button up shirt, nice shoes ✓
Well tailored suit ✓
Jeans, white tee and work boots/clean sneakers ✓
What about tie dye?2 -

Wait...did that tie dye start out as a plain white tee? 🤔 That could be a total deal breaker! Were you trying to mask the stains on it from last week's dinner? If so, WINNER!
…….yes?……..2 -

Bonus points for exaggerating and lack of full sentence structure bc proper punctuation is so over rated but for future reference please refrain from answering a question with another question 😋
All kidding aside, have a great weekend!
Thanks! You too!1 -

I'll echo what @Dees_Apples said, it's not the place the clothing comes from, it's the fit. I notice *tons* of women regardless of clothing brand or where they shop. If your Amazon purse is cute or your Walmart jacket suits you well, I'm all about it. Most of my hoodies come from Amazon.1 -
