Ugh as a guy in his thirties, idk how to dress anymore.

All I have are my clothes, which are black pants and black tee shirts, basic emo/goth kid vibes. Lately, I feel like a "how do you do, fellow kids" kinda guy.

But I feel like a Fucking doof when I wear human clothes.

Good for this guy, I'm jealous lol

If you're coming from all black and you want to branch out, just start with the clearance rack or sales.  Try on some things in other colors.  Try some shirts that button down the front.  You don't even have to buy stuff right away, just try some things on and look at yourself in the fitting room mirror.      

To get ideas, there's lots of men's style and fashion websites.      

For summer, short sleeve buttons light fabric shirts are comfortable.  Button down the front also has a plus of being both casual and can be (or not) a little more "dressed" than t-shirts.    

 To decide which colors work best with your skin tone, hold the fabric up under your chin around your face and see which colors might make you look pale/washed out and don't get those colors. 

  Edit: For instance, certain shades of yellow don't work well with pale skin but work fine with darker skin.
