Do you have advice (or service) that would help me up "my game" without seeming that I try too hard?
Not only will your clothes feel great, as a side effect you will be stylish without being fashionable. Quality never goes out of style.
Edit. I should add that top quality fabric is never wasted on "fast fashion" so the clothes will always be a bit more conservative and so will remain stylish for longer.
This is one area where men have a massive advantage over women. As a man you can buy well made clothes with quality fabric for less than women pay for wear-once garbage.
Another approach is to go to a store that sells the kinds of attire you'd generally be comfortable in (i.e., the kind of store that sells attire for people like you, and ask a shop attendant to dress you. Obviously there's a risk there that they'll just try and sell you overpriced stuff that doesn't suit you, so you have to be confident enough in your own judgement about what you'll feel good in, and be assertive enough to not let yourself spend more than you're comfortable with.
You could also just try browsing fashion sites online to find outfits that you like. But don't feel like you need to get fancy and complicated (and expensive). Just go for simple outfits made of good fabric and that fit your body shape well.
