A great starting point for me was reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice (and the associated wiki)

Some advice: focus, above all, on fit. Learn what each of the basic garments should fit like for your body type. Even the most basic budget wardrobe tailored to fit well will look great compared to expensive but unfitting clothes. Then focus on fabric quality, color combinations, and experimenting with your own styles (pinterest is great for exploring this).

Good luck!

+1, mfa is a good reference. Also, be aware that this process will take a while. Try on lots of clothes. Eventually, you’ll find a perfect item of clothing that will make picking out others a lot easier. Take photos and videos of yourself, especially from the sides and back. Watch people around you and if you think they look good, write down what they’re wearing. And although I hate to say it: sometimes looking good means being a little less comfortable. For example, sneakers will always be more cozy and versatile than classic leather shoes. (I get around this by wearing Eccos, which come close enough.)
