I was going to make a thread but decided not to.
Basically, I am fed up with my closet.
I want to learn how to put outfits together, from proportions, to materials, to tones.
Any advice or places to go to learn more?

Is there any kind of style or aspect of clothing you gravitate towards?

Best advice i can give you:
Assess your body type(skin color, height, weight) and be 100% honest about it. Your body is the frame your clothes hang on and will inform how you put together and balance an outfit
Find a good fashion community, the best ones I’ve found are usually based around smaller youtubers that discuss fashion as theory or as a industry. This will probably be the hardest part as most fashion communities are elitist, hostile, or even worse, stale.
Save pictures of outfits you like and really really study them. Ask yourself things like “what specifically do i like about this”, “why does this specific part of the outfit work”. Do the same with outfits you hate but ask the inverse questions.
I recommend these two youtubers for people just getting into style
youtube.com/c/TimDessaint
youtube.com/c/TonyLeee
They’re simple enough for beginners while offering valuable information anyone can use without the constant shilling for MVMT watches and 3 piece suits that you see on the huge mens fashion channels

Really good advice I’d toss in youtube.com/c/DanielSimmonsmedia too, he gives great advice and does content with basics a lot

Is there any kind of style or aspect of clothing you gravitate towards?
Hmmm, well I really like not having a "style" but more just putting things together to be cohesive.
I am shorter and more built than skinny.
Long torso, shorter legs.
I know cropped looks best on me for this reason, and also things that drape over my top half look good.
Pants are always frustrating.
I like punk, glam rock, western, avant garde, but I am cool with workwear too.
My favorite piece I own is the 2020 Ye hoodie.
Never thought getting womens opinions on brand appeal would be this hard. S*** is a legit science man

i actually want to super cosign this because this is pretty much exactly how I learned and what I would say is the best way to learn
Tony and Tim are definitely great youtubers, Tim's stuff is kinda too malefashionadvice core for me personally but his advice is solid and having a good discord that isn't totally garbage to get feedback in will really advance your knowledge

Want to start a clothing brand, and have ideas to start making my own seen clothing.
Being a dude i already know what i want, but ive been trying to get a womans perspective and its more complex than i thought. Proportions, styling, material, how it plays with other pieces. Girls are weird

Proportions, styling, materials etc are things men think about too though esp those that are into clothes/style/fashion and anyone and everyone trying to make/design clothes definitely needs to be thinking about those things

Very true. Def a lot to learn

Word, I think the advice you got from everyone else is a foundation you can use to explore these things
I'd add thrifting if possible for you (even just to try things on), people watching and taking in and thinking on everything visual around you (my start with style came from taking in colors from the natural world and thinking on how I could capture and clad myself in them) and coming by the section if and whenever you have more questions
If you're interested in posting fits and getting feedback, WDYWT can be useful for that and if you just want to look at a lot of different fits this thread is something a lot of people have enjoyed:
So i've tentatively decided against getting an Arc'teryx shell jacket, mainly because i cant find any i want in my size/colour
does anybody have any alternate recommendations for shell jackets that protect from rain, but are also fashionable

Oh yea you can learn a lot if you study women’s wear
Paying attention to men is a waste of time 95% of the time because most never move past pants/shirt/ jacket/sneakers
Tho you def learn a lot from men like Alan Flusser or others that have been dressing well for decades
