Hrm... I think that "style" depends a lot on where you live, the type of clothing that's appropiate for the climate, etc.

That being said, two of my favorite stores for men are Old Navy and Eddie Bauer. Now, Old Navy is the place to get everyday stuff- pants, jeans, that kinda thing. They're cheap too. They have nice kakhi pants in cargo and flat-front styles that are really soft and sit nicely, and about four different styles of jeans for you to pick from. Their t-shirts are also nicely fitted and soft, but they all have goofy logo crap on them. Eddie Bauer is nice for more traditional men's clothing- button up shirts, etc. A good place to get just plain t-shirts is Express for Men or Structure- really soft and lots of colors.

Now how to put that all together? I find it AMAZINGLY sexy when a guy looks a bit "put together" and not just like he reached into his closet and pulled out two things and then wore them. I'd recommend:

Black pants (for being dressy)
Two or three pairs of kakhis, regular or cargo style, in camel colored and perhaps green
Two pairs of well-fitted jeans. By well fitted I mean not too baggy and not too tight- again, try Old Navy's wall of jeans

Five or six solid colored t-shirts
Three or four patterned t-shirts- ones with a design on them

Four or five button up long sleeved dress shirts, to wear over the plain t shirts or just by themselves

The most important factor in a man's style, to me, is making sure your clothes aren't too loose. A lot of younger men are uncomfortable with their bodies for some wierd reason and wear stuff WAY the hell too loose. Girls like it when a man's clothing is a teensy bit snug- that way we get a better preview of what's under all that clothing! If you wear an XL now, try a L when you go to try stuff on. Don't just get the mirror's opnion, ask someone- preferably a woman. Better yet, get a good female friend to go with you.

Finding your "style" is a personal thing- don't let the magazines or anyone else tell you what you SHOULD be wearing, but feel free to look at them just to see what's out there.
