I think it's important to be comfortable with what you wear... what you wear should be comfortable and you should be comfortable with what you wear...

It's essentially what I go by... I think the worst thing that could happen to a guy is come across as being a fashion victim, I've seen this so many times living in Vancouver and Toronto... mostly because there was a lot of asians with money (or their parents with money) I think it's the opposite of your observation. They spent good deal of money on their cloth, but they never really wore it well... IMO...

Men in Korea and Japan are dressing better and better as time goes by. I would say that the degree of style literacy there could be higher than that in the USA. I think that this is a direct result of higher standards of living and being fully in tune with the nuances and developments in a living culture that they are a part of.

Check out this article: "What Asia taught me about casual style".

It's from the Kinowear blog, which is a guide to male fashion and style with a focus on self expression and attraction from women.

I can personally attest to the fact that good grooming and a coherent and sensible sense of style that stands out from the crowd really works. With just a few handy hints and tips from a trained eye, I managed to increase the quantity and quality of attention I received from women!

That was great considering how invisible I used to be.

Those are VERY good points, and it's why a certain degree of "know how" is necessary if a man wants to develop a personal sense of style that stands out from the crowd in a good way.

Not only is it necessary to have an understanding of who you are - as in temperament, passions, and attitude - it is also necessary to understand the physical aspects of aesthetics, the nature of masculinity, the cultural contexts of styles and trends, as well as how all these factors develop over time and interact with one another.

Personally, the whole thing boggles me.

I agree with Chewie. If a man is not comfortable in what he wears, it shows. While one or two pieces a season of something trendy is okay, a whole closet full is not. I prefer to see traditional style clothing on men and it's what I prefer to wear also. Then you don't look so silly in old pics of yourself. For me, a man who dresses to the nines all the time is a turn-off. It sends out an arrogant message to me. I prefer to see guys in casual clothes. Now don't get me wrong, a good-looking man in a nice suit is very nice to look at, but not something I would want to see him in all the time. Jeans, khakis, sweater, pullover, button-down shirt, polo shirt, comfortable shoes, etc. are all a plus in my book.
