I am an undergrad student, and since recently I've had the desire to construct a timeless, well-fitting wardrobe for myself. Basically, I would like to eschew streetwear such as t-shirts, jeans, and outdoor clothing in favor of classic, fashion-exempt pieces that are more versatile such as button downs, polos, trousers, and sportcoats. In a nutshell, I would like to not simply update my image, but rather establish for myself a life-long image that I can be comfortable with.
My question for the board is: where do I begin? What should I buy first, and are there rules to be followed? Many other topics addressed issues similar to mine; however, there are some key differences. First, I'm a student, and I am therefore only interested in building a casual wardrobe for the time being. Second, I have a very limited disposable budget (around $1000/semester). Third, I have the requisite items to get me through interviews/career fairs/internships for the time being. I will focus on suits and such at a later time.
Here are some recent purchases:
1. Cole Haan venetian loafers. I know, I know. I got them before I started reading SF. On the other hand, they were very cheap and they look passable.
2. Brooks Brothers 346 chinos.
3. Polo oxford button down.
Clearly, I need guidance. Am I beyond helping?
