Yes shes a very big fan of his works. I've never understood the attraction myself, but I guess it's personal.

uhhhhh... ok

Well to answer your question since youre young it doesnt fit you to get too much of a formal wardrobe

Basics I would get are:
2 pairs of Chinos
1 pair of APC NS jeans
2 oxfords (blue and white)
maybe a couple of light collar shirts from j.crew or maybe a chambray.
few slim t-shirts (something young but not douchey)
Some Chuck Taylors
Pair of boots (maybe 1k mile boots?)

Thats pretty basic, not too old, pretty young. Am I missing anything?

If I were starting from scratch I'd probably buy a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, two button-up shirts (one a pattern, the other not), a hoodie, underwear, purple socks and like leather shoes. Maybe a belt, too!

I dunno I was on the bus and high school kids got on and the cool ones were wearing plaid shirts. Then again the nerdiest one in the group was also wearing a button-up, so be careful! More t-shirts and chucks instead of leather shoes is better advice for a 17 year old

Why are you obsessed with looking classic? You're going to outgrow alot of the shit you buy anyway. Do you wanna gather round you grandkids in the future, looking through old photo albums, wearing the same shit in every picture, and you're wearing the same shirt as in the pictures as you browse?

I'm not much older and wear one pretty much every day. I probably did when I was 17, too. just a matter of taste.

I already have plaid shirts, skinny jeans and chucks... I'd really like to diversify a bit, find some originallity. Its still a cool look but all the 'cool' kids wear it...

Cheers for the link - though I don't really require anything so specific. As for specific brands... I don't have any brand loyalty (just a distaste for Jack Wills and the like) EDIT: Cheers for the warm welcome dude. I'm sure you'd much rather me make this thread than make 50 ignorant and mis-informed posts in other peoples' threads.
There is an Ultimate Noob thread, Ultimate Noob. And boat shoes are definitely not a staple, patent shoes are more of a staple than that And a staple for any wardrobe, Margiela.
