Hii..I am trying to build a good warddrobe, mostly informalwear, which I can wear to work as well. My work doesnt require me to wear suits and stuff as long as it is not outlandish....I am on a student budget..



I was told that a watch should be an important part of a warddrobe. I looked at a number of watches and some recommendations from GQ, and came up with the following collection. There are two types of watches, I am thinking of going for. One with a plain dial, and a colorful wrist band. The second with a steel band and with a colorful dial. All are <50$. I am thinking of going for the first one in this list..The main reason for going with the first one is that its a very basic watch and I can change the color of the Nato band, to suit the color of my shirt/trousers. What do you think?

I really, really, really don't want to advertise on here in fear of getting banned but the site I recently created is honestly perfect for you....

I'm a fellow student myself operating on a tight budget so I save whenever I can with sales.

You also clearly need a few pointers (shirt too baggy, don't wear an undershirt, etc.) and I have articles up as well.

If you're looking for watches, Seiko and Citizen both make some decent ones

i have to say that the watch is probably the last thing you want to upgrade in a wardrobe, nobody cares about your watch if you look like ****

Start off with fitted white shirts / black jeans and build your wardrobe from there.
