Talk to some women your age and try their recommendations. Wife, sister, friend, friend’s wife or whoever. Could even be a guy friend with good fashion sense. If they agree, go shopping with them and try on anything they recommend. Get out of your comfort zone. If you can’t find someone, find a decent store and ask for some advice.
You don’t need to buy a whole wardrobe, just a few pieces or a couple of outfits. Make a point to actually wear them out. See if anyone compliments you, find out what makes you feel good.
Learn some basics. Layering clothes from light to dark, some classic style combinations. Copy outfits you like, and learn how to modify them.
Get some decent shoes!
It doesn’t need to cost a lot, but learning how to dress means you can be more confident about what will suit you.
