Your looks should reflect self-respect, respect for other people, and your romantic and sexual partner.

Your looks should be reflect respect. Respect for yourself, other people in general, and your romantic and sexual partner(s). It shouldn’t be about trying to fit a mold, trying to be perfect, gaining acceptance or approval for being prettier than others. You don’t need to be the prettiest thing alive, or the most handsome man alive; look like you have self-respect. Then again, if you are good-looking, don’t let that get in the way of your self-respect. Self-loathing is never a good look, whether it manifests a complete lack of trying or trying too hard in all the worst ways possible. When you destroy your body out of self-loathing, whichever way you go, it’s a bad thing. It’s not just a bad look, just a bad thing in general.

Your looks should also reflect that you take yourself seriously as a person, a romantic partner, and a sexual partner. You shouldn’t turn into a giggling mess if someone treats you like a potential business partner, romantic partner, or sexual partner. Your style is your business, but just make it so that you express respect for your culture or subculture and yourself as a member of it.
