I understand this might not be your favorite category, and if it just seems weird you can ignore it and move on to the next one. Honestly, I never would have pictured myself asking this anyway.
I asked a similar question to the general public here at Advicenators, and all I really got was sort of a half-answer from an older gentleman.
Anyway - sorry for rambling - for the first time ever, I think I'd like to change things up a bit. I'm asking you because you're a thoughtful female who's my age, and I figured your opinion would be a bit more valid than his.
I've always just worn whatever is comfortable(jeans, tees, hoodies, etc.), bought what was cheap, and never really thought much of it. But lately, I've been noticing that how you present yourself in life has a big impact on how people treat you, and in turn, what opportunities you get. I've also been changing as a person a lot lately. So why not just go ahead and reinvent myself all at once?
I'd like to change my style a little bit. I'm not looking to tranform myself into some punk with his pants halfway down, and I don't want to get extremely preppy either(suits, sweater-vests and cardigans).
So I guess my question to you is this: On a guy your age who's 5'10"ish, about 125lbs with a slim/athletic build, and medium-length brown, curly hair, what do you think would look good, semi-attractive, and just professional enough to not get me laughed out of interviews at engineering schools?
If you choose to answer this question, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks :) (link)

It's a little difficult to answer this since I'm not an expert on guys clothing. But if I could see the clothes, I'd be able to tell you yes or no.
So what I think you need to go for is looking like an adult and not a teenager. Most teenage guys will stick with jeans and a T shirt. Nothing wrong with it, but for interviews and all that, you want to look more professional and adult like.
Besides the typical polo shirt, maybe try out jeans with a button up dress shirt. You don't need to wear a suit or anything, but nice dark jeans that don't look cheap or faded. You could even try a blazer jacket if it's something more professional. Khaki pants are more professional than jeans too.
In my opinion, all those look good and professional but not too business looking and I'm guessing that's the direction you're going for.
I think even better advice would be to go to stores that are popular and look in the guys section on the mannequins, try it and if you like it, get it or get something with the similar idea. If you feel like you look like a smart, professional adult that's still young, then get it. If you feel like you look too under dressed or you look like you're a teenager, then pass.
Hope this helped a bit.

Thanks for the response. I think I'll go try that when I have a bit of extra cash. Much appreciated. Thanks!
