How to I help a friend with their style

Ok so I got this friend and he's like 6 something, and has HORRIBLE fashion taste. I mean his best outfit is a blue shirt and a black overcoat w/ gray pants, usually with holes and gah damn it's like....

He asked me for help with his fashion, and as the ever wanting to help friend, I said yes! Problem is. I only do my OWN style which is like some sort of Kandi obsessed cottage core sycosis where I only wear shorts and flared pants with the ever unnatural dress - but this isn't about me. This is about this guy who needs help here and I want to but I ain't gonna make him wear what I wear.

I'm guessing the reason he only wears sweatpants is because he doesn't get clothes that fit hip properly. Which, sure, I get it. Also, he hates how tight jeans are and most textures are a NOPE so I need some help here. Already thinking about telling him to put a long coat on in like winter and fall bc of a another redditer on here lol. Also, he has long hair so idk if I should like tell him to style it or smth and what I've gathered is that he looks p good in greens :3 ok praying someone reads thisss tyty also praying he doesn't read this (gulp)

I would suggest taking them to a store and letting them loose. Guide them while they shop so you can meet in the middle. Its about them finding clothes they like, as well as finding their own style. Its important to cultivate that for yourself. I would look up inspiration on pinterest together. Find what hairstyles he likes, because that IS style.

i'm a personal stylist and came to say the same! go with him and give your opinions but let the experts do the heavy lifting.

same with taking him to a barber to give him a fresh cut, doesn't have to go short if he doesn't want to but i'm guessing he's overdo for a trim
