How to dress more prestigiously (serious)

Is there any advice for someone trying to look more prestigious but without relying on tasteless and gauche brands/designs or boomer-esque looks?

Please give me some advice that doesn't make me look like a techbro or unironic "alpha male" (Patagonias, collared shirts, tight jeans, sunglasses, loafers, chinos)

Go to the known spots for gentleman's fashion and pick up one of their magazines (they are mostly free). There are different magazines available for different styles.
They are high-quality, fully edited and showcase a variety of styles.

True fashion is not about buying a look, but acquire and assemble certain pieces to create your own style that presents the best version of you.

Decent fit, healthy and making sure your clothes fit works out to be the best formula.  If you need help fashion wise as an introduction, plenty of YouTube videos on building a basic starting wardrobe that you can expand.  I'd go to a tailor to get things to fit first.  Secondly, you can start building up on quality as time progresses.  


Always remember to take care of yourself, and the rest will follow.
