One of the most important aspects of game is style. It affects your ability to attract women, and how the rest of society views you. That guy in dad jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers isn't getting laid by anything except a hambeast.
Style is extremely important and can be done incredibly cheaply.

The Basics - You need a theme to your dress
The first major key with style is congruency. Are you a high powered executive? A playboy? Blue collar millionaire? Tattoo artist? Urban lumberjack?
If you do something boring like IT, pick a style that fits you and own it. This is one of my favorite ROK articles:

If you're in a job that requires you to meet with clients, you're going to have less freedom to bleach your hair like Guy Fieri or get tattoos. However, you can run a ton of suit and tie game.
Case in point -- the style that doesn't get laid is the one with no "theme" or congruency.
Your style doesn't need to reflect your job. You can be an accountant by day, urban lumberjack by night. An IT guy during the day, a country cowboy on the weekends. As long as your style has congruency.
Also, you can adopt several different styles and incorporate them. You might run day game in a suit and tie, and then night / weekend game in an entirely different style. Have fun and experiment.
I wear a suit and tie all the time, but on the weekends I'll throw on work boots, dirty jeans, a flannel shirt, my brown leather jacket, and blast country music in my giant black pickup truck (I love country girls). My buddy in finance wears suits during the day, and then on the weekends he dresses like a hipster and has tons of tattoos, because he likes hipster girls. You'd never know the guy was all tatted up during the week.
Your Style Dictates the Girls You Pickup
These are my field observations of what style get what type of girl...
Suit and tie / business casual: gold diggers / girls from rich families. Classy women who like to dress nice and be part of high society. Some of my friends are tatted up and manage to land hipster chicks by rolling up their sleeves. These girls want a white collar man.
Urban lumberjack: Hipster chicks with dyed black hair and tattoos. A lot of them are hot. Younger "hip" girls. Girls with tattoos. It really helps to pull this style off with tattoos. (Hipster girls think tattoos look hot on men, so they get them on themselves. Personally, I find tattoos, nose rings, and dyed hair very unattractive, but whatever).
Blue collar millionaire / Country guy: Country chicks, chicks that go to church, girls who like that Locash country life. Republican girls. "Country guy" style is my go to on the weekends because those are the girls I'm looking for.
Fitness oriented: Fitness chicks, and rich classy chicks (the ones who like to run, do yoga, and shop at farmer's markets). If you're jacked, you can just run around in tight shirts and jeans and these girls gravitate towards you.
Gangsta: Gangsta chicks, and white girls with daddy issues who want to be "bad."
Degenerate / DJ / Tattoo guy: Hipster chicks with tattoos, white girls with daddy issues, industry girls. Ripped jeans, an old Misfits t-shirt, tons of tattoos worn for three straight days at a time. Guys dressed like this get a lot of girls.
Tailor your style to the types of girls you want, along with where you hang out.
Suit and Tie Game
The game I run the most is suit and tie game. There are basically two ways to do this right.
- High powered executive (blue suit, red tie with a windsor knot, white shirt, cufflinks. Think Ari Gold)
- European (tight fitting, thin ties, usually "goofy" socks, colorful pastel ties, etc. Only looks good on very thin people, and people like me go "Is this guy gay or just a hipster?" Whatever, it gets girls).
Some basics...
Suit and tie game is easy. If you want to stand out, wear a navy suit, white shirt (french press cuffs with cufflinks), and a fresh pressed tie that is either pink, red, or blue (with some color - not a solid color like Trump does). The tip of your tie should reach your belt. Pink ties are the best for pickup, followed by blue. Red is better for business. I only wear white shirts with french press cuffs.
If you're slim / fit, everything should be fitted and tight as possible. If you're heavy, get stuff that is a little larger. Obviously, it's always better to bit slim and fit, but you can still be chubby and have mad style.
Accessories can make a big difference. A tie clip, cufflinks, and belt with a cool buckle make a good suit look great. Just remember to stick to either silver or gold based on your style. I never wear gold - only silver. Silver or chrome watch, silver cufflinks, silver belt buckle.
In my opinion, a watch is an essential component to a suit. You can buy a watch that stands out (like a big white Casio G-Shock, which is a form of peacocking), a big chrome watch, or something very simple and elegant. Most girls don't know if you paid $50 for that watch or $5000. My watch cost $1000, but it's self winding and a piece everyone asks me about.
In terms of etiquette, the bottom button of your jacket should never be buttoned. That one is always left open.
As for fit, three piece suits (suits with a vest) and regular suits look good on all body types. Short guys should never wear three button suits, and should always cuff their pants. Double breasted suits look good on tall skinny men, but not shorter or heavier men. If you're heavier, pinstripes make you look slimmer.
Finally, in terms of shoes, black wingtips go with everything. If you're wearing a black suit, only wear black shoes and a white tie. Navy suits are the most versatile and allow you to rock brown or oxblood shoes. Grey suits should be worn with black shoes. Tan suits go with oxblood, some brown shoes, and black shoes. Honestly, no one can tell the difference if your shoes are Florsheim or Cole Haan. Nicer shoes tend to last longer. Also, your belt should match the color of your shoes, and the buckle should be the color of your accessories.
But I'm poor
Just because your outfit is expensive doesn't mean it's stylish. I've picked up girls wearing my jeans from Cabellas and a flannel I found at Target.
You can actually get decent stuff at Nordstrom Rack, Foreman Mills (I picked up 3 pairs of Sperrys there for $30), Burlington Coat Factory, Marshalls, etc.
If you want to get designer clothing for a fraction of the price, consider going to a thrift store in a rich area. When I graduated law school and had no money, I'd to thrifting out in the richest parts of my state. I picked up a pair of Cole Haan shoes for $5 and had them resoled and shined, along with several high end dress shirts, ties, and suits. You'd be amazed at how some very wealthy people wear a suit one or two times and then just donate it to Salvation Army. Take everything to the dry cleaner, or figure out how to use an iron.
In closing
Build your wardrobe around a style that fits your personal, don't spend a million bucks, and watch how many more girls you start getting.
