I usually never really make an effort to wear stuff that makes me stand out.
Usually just some "skinny" levi jeans, some nike dunks, and a t-shirt looks nice and clean. Also will put "surf gel" in my hair that makes it like I just swam in the ocean (chicks dig it). Oh yeah and I also have my ears guaged to a 2, with some sweet amber plugs (they are sparkley b/c of the natural amber)
But today I went to hot topic and they have great kino wear. I got a sweet silver ring (with cool musical note design on it), and two bracelets (one is a working zipper, and the other is chain-link with hand cuffs)... just think of the connotations I could make with "my zipper" and "handcuffs" (bedroom, SBDM or w/e).
And bout to go out with just a v-neck t-shirt, and some "o-neal" khaki shorts and some low-key gray flip flops from AE. Kind of a "chilled out" and "relaxed" look
I think half of this KINO thing is about the confidence it can help bring, just because you are wearing stuff that makes you stand out which is always better... then there's the conversational-starter side to it, too.
(I've totally gotten away from dressing preppy........ Lol, my 3 or 4 Polo collared shirts are Mediums and no longer fit me anymore

... I used to mix that in with my skate shoes (or nikes) and baggier jeans... then started getting my jeans tighter and tighter throughout highschool)
