First of all, I aint no fashion king. I really enjoy looking at clothes, buying clothes and talking about clothes, but I'm no expert.
Well done with losing the weight man. That's usually the biggest thing people have with 'dressing well' is that "Errr clothes don't look good on me" clothes can look good on anyone. It all depends on the fit and with a slimmer body, more things will fit. I'm a skinny bitch, but it's easy to find stuff that fits. If you're built well, most things will look good.
Clothes are essentially an extension of you and your personality. It's a great way to subtly project to the world how you're feeling and is also a great way to see how you've grown and changed as a person. If I look back now, I can see myself wearing goold ol' jeans and runners back in primary school with a dragon t-shirt or whatever. Highschool saw me get into skinny jeans and band t-shirts and jizzing into my straightener before headbanging my shoulder length hair at shows. Now, I'm into a much cleaner, mature and sometimes adventerous look.
Why is this important? Because if you're rocking the same hairstyle, same clothes and same mindset from when you were in highschool or whatever that's not really saying you're a really fucking interesting person. If you're thinking "oh but i was awesome in highschool" yeah, maybe you were, but it's sad to think you've peaked in a time where everything is essentially given to you and you had no responsibility. (I know, not always the case)
The way your friends dress is totally up to them and the same for you. If your friend can go drinking and wear the same starwars shirt every time then jesus christ ( I think that's pretty fucked) but whatever, I'm not wearing it. Don't stress about out dressing your friends. If they're your friends they wont ditch you over taking some pride in your appearance. Hell, my group of friends consists of someone with really cool super high-fashion style, standard business attire, a body builder with low cut tops and a few who mix them all together. We all like what eachother wear and talk about it. It's the exact same as having different tastes in games.
I see that you said you're worried about a big drastic difference. Try not worry about this because it takes years and years to develop a sense of style and a decent wardrobe. Don't plan to do a day of shopping and all of a sudden BAM JESUS CHRIST I HAVE CLOTHES because it's all about progression and seeing what works for you. Maybe start out with a few plain v and crew neck tshirts and a pair of chinos. If you don't really like that, no big deal, they're versatile pieces and can look good with anything. Just keep mixing it up until you find your spot. Hell, if you see someone dressed well just ask them "fuck me that's a great shirt, where buy?" most of the time they'll be happy to talk about it.
Clothes are really cool. Too many people are still in the "er clothes gay lol @ my graphic t". Some people think 'clothes are clothes' and that's fine. I just think it's a great way to express yourself and gain a lot of confidence really fast.
tldr: fuck yes kpop
