West Coast,
I had the same problem as you when I was younger. I wanted to dress better but I looked like a kid. People just don't take it as serious. To them, all they see is a 21 year old kid wearing his uncles best suit. It just doesn't work sometimes.
You can't wear manly clothes when you look like a boy. It just doesn't have the same effect.
My advice is to dress up but be more hip and youthful about it. Don't dress the same way a 35 or 40 year old man would dress.
Dress like a younger version of a G. Dress more youthful. Wear the stuff that older guys can't get away with.
When you're young you can take more chances and get away with more a more daring type of look.
Maybe something like this..
Notice the watch, bracelet, chain, and sneakers.
I think this is youthful but still sharp. This says, I am in my early 20's but I am still stylish.
This is different.
I think stuff like this is a better match for your look and age. Let the older guys wear the "older-looking" stuff.
I wasn't ready to start dressing "older" until I was 35. That is when my face finally matched that style
