I am kind of new to this and I am working on my appearance and confidence. I just want to know a place that has good peacocking clothes, any suggestions?

There are lots of places and websites that you can get stuff.

I will say just one quick thing on peacocking. If you can't do pickup in jeans and a t-shirt then no amount of medallions, or stuff is going to help you get the damn girl. Dress for the type of girl that you really want to attract.

If you want to work on your appearance seriously...Consider things like:

+Joining a gym
+Tanning
+Teeth Whitening
+Eating Healthier
+Change your Wardrobe
+Get a new hair style (with an actual Stylist)

These will not only make you feel better doing them, but it will all be you. It won't just be something you put on before you go out.

that's quite possibly the best advice you could get from anyone...

a lot of people completely miss the plot when it comes to peacocking and either overdo it or they do something that really doesn't suit them (like the 1st season of mystery's "the PUA" where the old guy tried to peacock by dressing like a kid) so if you insist on peacocking, just make sure you don't make the same mistakes.

Thanks 10seconds,

I agree that most people miss understand what Mystery is trying to say. I actually saw a live video cast not long ago where he was talking about this. He said, "I know that I look ridiculous. I know it's not good fashion." then he went on to say that he dresses that way to a degree because people expect him too, but many times he doesn't go out that way.

Keep in mind that typically most guys go over the top when they do stuff. Like it suggests below a simple new ring or new necklace can add a lot. Really think of one interesting item you can wear to add.

The key is that people must see your personality as congruent with
your "peacocked" image. A man with a top hat and a feather boa, a
woman on each arm, surrounded by laughing friends, looks like the
man. Everyone in the room will notice him, and women will whisper
to one another and want to be introduced to him. But the same man
in those same clothes sitting alone in the corner will look like a social
reject.

By the same token, "peacocking" should be a unique and dominant
expression of higher social value; otherwise, it not only loses its desired
effect but also can actually work against you in the field. One guy
dressed to the nines looks like "the man"; two guys decked out that
way look gay. That's why I come in like a rock star, but my other
friends just wear something cool—for example, new boots, or an oddlooking
chain, or a new jacket with something cool spray-painted on
the back. Successful peacocking takes preparation and thought; at any
time, somewhere in the world, an MM instructor is taking someone
shopping to find a look that works for him.

You don't have to wear a top hat right out of the chute, but as my
friends' example suggests, try wearing at least one item of clothing curious
looking enough to get people's attention. It may be used as a
lock-in prop, which I will discuss further in chapter 6. What's more, it
will allow women to comment, for good or bad, if they wish to strike
up a conversation.

For example, if you're talking to a woman and she senses the conversation
winding down, she may suddenly say, Oh, that's a cool necklace."
This is her way of continuing the interaction in a perfectly reasonable
way, while reserving some element of plausible deniability, that is, keeping
the responsibility for anything that might happen "on you."

On more than one occasion I've had women walk up to me and tell
me that they either loved or hated my goggles. Either way, I would reply,
"No, you don't; you're attracted to me."

Pecocking should really be specific to you. It should be an extension of yourself if you will, just blown out to slightly hyperbolic proportions to attract attention.
