> IMO, for men, there's a handful of main looks, and they're all pretty different for each other. "Nerd", "scruffy hacker", "fitness bro" are the ones I see most frequently. Oh, for sure, some are easy-mode, though. Conference T and cargo shorts with sandals (possibly including white socks). Rumpled, slouchy shirt and pants outfit parts of which surely date back to a goth phase, but softened by the rest of the ensemble (how do you tell the difference between that and rural-town convenience store clerk? Some combo of age, other grooming, and various details—more feel than science). That kind of thing. Ivy-league/MIT 2-year-veteran FAANG is a look, but about half that's body language rather than clothes.
