Hi,
So I'm a doctor and have been buried in a lab environment for four years - moving back into an office based practice now. I'm trying to build up a wardrobe from scratch over the next six months to one year for the basics. I want to get stuff that'll last me for many years, not just buy cheap/low quality crap.
I live in Toronto. I've been living in scrubs for years and have nearly no business apt. clothes.
I've two pairs of slacks, and four shirts (three white, one Eton and the rest CK that I bought on sale in the Bay a few weeks ago). I have one navy blazer I like. That's about it, a couple of wedding suits that don't really fit any more. Couple of tatty brown belts and an IKEA blue bag full of misshapen socks and underwear.
Office environment is shirt, slacks, no tie (which I don't actually like, I wore a tie when I worked back home in Europe and prefer it, the office is a bit too casual for me but I'll be moving to a tie-friendly office in January
). Maybe tie one day a week for meetings etc. Few conferences during the year when I'll need a suit. I like crisp white or maybe pale blue shirts, nothing too glamorous.
So it's time to start dressing like a grown up. Budget is maybe $200-300 a month.
Where would you start. Any thoughts/recommendations/tips?
