Looking to "upgrade" my wardrobe

[lookingtoupgrade]

Thank you for checking out my thread.

I am looking to "upgrade" my wardrobe. My place of work is fine with wearing black pants (can be jeans) and a polo shirt. That is what I'm currently wearing now, but I would like to improve my appearance without looking like a "try hard".

I am looking to spend a maximum of $1000 on a spring/summer wardrobe (outdoors, indoors, tops, bottoms, shoes, socks, etc.). I would like the material to hold up to riding the subway everyday to and from work (getting my shoes stepped on by other riders and dirt from the seats possibly getting on my clothes).

The style I would like would be a "classic-modern" blend (cool, smart, a gentleman, doesn't take things too seriously, but isn't a pushover).

Any suggestions as to what I should look for (brands, designs, materials, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again.

You rang?

It sounds possible, but consider the lack of replies so far. What you look like and location are important. Non-leather soles and cotton sound like part of the recipe.

If you wanna do it slowly, a couple blazers and some nice dark jeans are a pretty decent place to start the transition.
