Not exactly 100%...but I want to change my wardrobe completely around.
Ive been working from home the past 5 years, but now im going to be dealing with small business owners and doing a lot of networking (im in a pretty conservative industry).
Also...im 34, but look 23 (at least thats what people tell me).
So I want to look stylish, meanwhile project authority/trust.
I like the Trad look the most.
My question is...
...what should I have in my wardrobe that will have me ready for every situation?
As of right now, these are the things I know I need.
1. Pants.
Pants are something I cant thrift. But I dont know where to look or start.
I have 3 pair of J Crew wool trousers (Blue, Gray, Burgundy), and 1 Pair of Cotton J Crew trousers.
Past this, I have no idea which direction to go.
What else should I have? Types, brands, colors, etc... ?
Also...is there a special name for the cuff I see so many people on SF have on their pants? I really like that look.
2. Accessories.
Pocket squares, cuff links, socks, and whatever else I may be missing.
I guess this stuff is easy to find/choose. Ill probably just start with a simple linen white pocket square and slowly build from there.
I purchased some cheap socks from one of those online sock clubs...but after looking at the outfits on here, I can tell they are cheap and look cheap.
Cuff links...any recommended vendor? Ill probably end up just going on eBay to find them.
3. Sportcoats that arent blue/beige
I have a variety of blue/beige blazers & sportcoats for both summer and winter.
As well as a few tweeds.
What would your next choice be? A gray sportscoat? or something with a little more flare?
I think the above 3 points are my weak spots.
Is there anything else I should consider?
What I have...
6 Suits - navy, charcoal, and light gray
3 Brooks Bros suits (one is a beige summertime Brookscool I found).
HSM Gold Trumpeter
Saks Black Label
SuSu
30+ dress shirts of all colors...
From Brooks Brothers to Turnbull & Asser
10 pairs of AE shoes.
Selvedge denim, cashmere/merino sweaters, various coats, 20+ ties (mostly Brooks Brothers)
Any help would be much appreciated.
In this short time ive already become addicted to menswear.
