Hi there. Are you sure you are really being yourselves, or are you just trying to impress each other and other people?
If you are just trying to impress each other, well then you are not being authentic. You are pretending.
You need to be real about what you like and accept yourself for who you are - what's inside - that's what really counts. Looks are very superficial and once you get over that part of a relationship, there needs to be a whole lot more than that to keep you together.
After all, you are not Barbie Dolls.
If you are relying ONLY on how good you both look, to keep you together, well then you are in for a nasty shock. It also sounds like you are seeking approval from each other, as well as the rest of the world. That's a slippery slide!
Don't go down that path. It's an unhappy one.
As long as you are clean and tidy, and feel good in what you have on and it suits your figure, then you can't go wrong. Don't be always looking for appreciation from others, just simply appreciate yourself as you are.
Know that you are already perfect, then start working on how you treat people and how you relate to them - and how they relate to you. Expect the best from life and you will get it. Accept nothing less.
Treat people with love, respect, kindness, dignity and they will treat you the same way. Over time, you will realize that these things are way more important than how good you look in your clothes.
Beauty is only skin deep. Real beauty comes from within.

My best guess is to uhmm, try being yourself! Not trying to achieve a "style" that you think looks great, and wear what you FEEL confident in! At 16-17, that boyfriend isn't going to be around forever, it's an attraction. If you're happy looking "good" to please him, google image search...
P.s, being 16-17, you wouldn't know that emo is a stupid word used incorrectly these days. It's actually a form of music from before your time, and mine. All the same, emulating the way everyone else just makes you a "sheep in wolves clothing" - A
