Need advice's and tips for a gentleman look or manlier.
I am an 18 years old boy in High School. I am more old fashioned than new trending mode. And as I wear old clothes they tell me that I appear to be strange. I need some tips how to combine my clothes to be more cool and look like a gentleman.
Another problem is with my face that I don't know how to manage my hair, and facial hair. Usually I cut them shortly as possible but now I am leaving them like more long. The problem with my hair that it is damn straight and it can't be managed well. Another thing that I want to tips on is some reactions or habits that one gentleman should own. I want to make my look more masculine possible. I am posting some photos of me so you could give me any advice possible ... I have a strange problem too ... Acne appear and dissapear very quickly. Any tips ?

I think you are fine. You are still growing into yourself. I would personally lose the skinny jeans and sleeveless hooded vests, but that's just me. Just be yourself. There is no true definition of manliness.

If you're clean and neat, including with your facial hair, you're fine, in high school, IMO. If you want something to concern yourself with, watch the fit/size of your clothes. Subtleties there can take a lifetime to learn. But for the most part, I think a kid trying to stand out by dressing well is giving himself double trouble - trouble in finding and affording clothes, and trouble in strange looks and worse from peers. If it's something you really like or that is important to you, and you understand the implications of time, money, and relationships, do what you want. But people who like worrying about clothes rarely need advice about them.

Thanks. these photos are actually two months old but I see that facial hair is growing too quickly and as some of my friends told me to change the hairstyle and I don't know what to do ... So you suggest me to not dress like more mature than my age ?

I suggest if you dress other differently than those your age, it will be hard and expensive to find clothes, and your friends may not like it. You may like dressing different than those your age enough to make up for this, but this is what will happen.

Just worry about being a high school kid for now. The man makes the clothes, not the other way around.

On acne, what finally helped me was benzoyl peroxide cream. You can get it in American drugstores and online, but I don't know where you get it in Albania.
A liquid "soap" labeled for the face will also help.
I prefer salicylic acid in clear, liquid form, applied with a cotton ball. This is usually labeled a "toner" here. It is the most common acne treatment in the USA, and comes in many forms.
Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are both topical antibiotics.

Shave any facial hair you have.

Bruno, I bought a book recently 'DETAILS: Men's Style Manual'. It is the knees bees.
You should check it out. It's like $15 on Amazon. I actually used the guide to dress up for a Christmas Eve get together and actually got complimented on my appearance. So, I think there is something to be said about the book.

The easiest way to look more grown up is to wear clothes that fit. Pay attention to the fit, and you could look good in a bedsheet.
So much of it is nothing more than the self confidence with which you wear it. From your photos, you appear basically self confident, so that's likely not an issue.
For the rest, though, you should focus on the details. It's not just the clothes, but also the fingernails, the skin care, the haircut, etc. Pay attention to the details, and keep them classic. They may not seem important, but they are.
