× Well I prefer St. style.
✓ Well, I prefer street style.
The original sentence misuses an abbreviation 'St.' which is unclear and likely intended as 'street'; also a comma is needed after 'Well'. Use the full word 'street' to be clear and correct. Additionally, add a comma after 'Well' for natural speech pause.
× So I have a quite a few baggy jeans and shorts and also some comfortable oversize T-shirts.
✓ So I have quite a few baggy jeans and shorts and also some comfortable oversized T-shirts.
Use 'quite a few' without 'a' before it. 'Oversize' is incorrect form; the adjective should be 'oversized'. Correct word forms improve grammatical accuracy.
× So nowadays I prefer to wear comfortable clothes more than intellectual clothes.
✓ So nowadays I prefer to wear comfortable clothes rather than smart clothes.
'Intellectual clothes' is not a natural collocation in English; use 'smart clothes' to mean formal or stylish clothing. Use 'rather than' for clearer comparison.
× And The thing is that as I already said, first of all, comfort is really important for me.
✓ And the thing is that, as I already said, first of all, comfort is really important to me.
Capitalization: 'The' should be lowercase after 'And'. Use 'important to me' rather than 'important for me' for natural collocation when expressing personal importance.
× But I've been dying to wear some intellectual clothes to the university.
✓ But I've been dying to wear some smart clothes to university.
Replace 'intellectual clothes' with 'smart clothes'. Omit the definite article before 'university' in this general sense: 'to university' is more natural in British English; in American English 'to the university' can be acceptable if referring to a specific campus.
× Actually, yes, I really do love wearing T-shirts because they seem really comfortable for me.
✓ Actually, yes, I really do love wearing T-shirts because they seem really comfortable to me.
Use 'comfortable to me' rather than 'comfortable for me' when expressing a personal feeling about comfort.
× Also, I want to buy quite a few new T-shirts but the financial issues always get in the way so I keep putting this off.
✓ Also, I want to buy quite a few new T-shirts, but financial issues always get in the way, so I keep putting it off.
Remove 'the' before 'financial issues' for natural phrasing. Use 'putting it off' rather than 'putting this off' because 'it' refers to the act of buying T-shirts; add commas for clarity.
× To be honest, yes definitely and I am really angry about that.
✓ To be honest, yes, definitely, and I am really annoyed about that.
'Angry about that' is grammatically possible but 'annoyed' is more natural for frustration about a situation. Add commas around 'definitely' for clarity.
× What I am most irritated about is the lack of both beautiful and high quality clothes in my city.
✓ What I am most irritated about is the lack of both beautiful and high-quality clothes in my city.
Use a hyphen in the compound adjective 'high-quality'. The structure 'lack of both X and Y' is acceptable.
× Actually, I used to three years ago, almost every day I tried diverse styles and clothes, which really opens my worldview and interest in fashion.
✓ Actually, I used to, three years ago I tried different styles and clothes almost every day, which really opened my worldview and interest in fashion.
'Used to' requires a following base verb or a clear time reference; restructure sentence for clarity. 'Diverse' is awkward here; 'different' is more natural. Maintain past tense 'opened' since the action happened in the past.
× Well, my entire life I preferred the natural colors which are beige, black and white.
✓ Well, my whole life I have preferred natural colors such as beige, black, and white.
Use present perfect 'have preferred' to indicate a preference over a period up to now. 'Entire life' can be replaced with 'whole life' for natural phrasing; remove 'the' before 'natural colors' and use 'such as' to introduce examples.
× These are my favorite colors because they can be fit with every piece of the outfit and I really like it.
✓ These are my favorite colors because they can be matched with every piece of an outfit, and I really like them.
'Can be fit with' is incorrect; use 'can be matched with'. Also 'every piece of the outfit' is awkward—use 'every piece of an outfit'. Pronoun agreement: 'colors' requires 'them' not 'it'.
