I don't have a budget. I don't think I'm going to spend a ton of money at once. I have clothes that I can wear for now so I thought I'd assemble stuff over time. But if I had to pick a budget, I'd say no more than $700-800


If you're looking to present a more formal image at work I'd recommend you skip the t-shirts and polos and go for well fitting button up shirts and dress pants. For the pants, be on a lookout for the Incotex that appear in the B&S section from time to time.
