First timer here. I agree with a rename. I'm in the entertainment industry, and my daily dress is jeans and a t-shirt. If I have a meeting, I'll wear a button down, untucked, with jeans. But that said, we have a number of dressy events throughout the year and I recently picked up a great suit and a jacket. I got a navy blazer from the Gap for about $60. The thing I like best about it is that the buttons aren't gold like a lot of blazers out there. I got a great Ralph Lauren suit from Marshalls. I'm not a big fan of this place, but it's close to my house so I always end up there for a last minute date shirt or something. Anyway, they had this great charcoal suit, perfect fit, for about $140. Marshalls is also great for getting socks, both dressy and sporty, boxers, undershirts, and shoes sometimes. Oh, and I once, and only once found my cologne there. Doubt that'll happen again cause it's ususally $65 in stores, but I got lucky! Great site. First timer here.

Like cords? Also, does anyone recommend a certain brand of v-neck t-shirts? I think I bought Hanes last time and I was pretty disappointed.

I don't like v-neck because i don't like chest hair and skin poking out from the unbuttoned top button of my shirts. Is it ok if I sometimes wear it with a complementary color of t-shirt? Also if I could make a suggestion, having another pair or at least a back-up pair of light tan dress slacks or khakis. I sometimes have a hard time keeping them clean for 2-3 days of the week. I could just be a filthy slob though. Am I committing some sort of sin by wearing round collar t-shirts instead of v-neck?

And I agree with a rename. Your goal on the future of the list is a good path as well. Links to products and examples will go a long way. Perhaps the final list should include a downloadable pdf (with pictures) that can be printed and taken along. While a lot of things can be bought online, clothes shouldn't be among them unless you are *certain* of your size. I don't know that you need to go with three classes of value / prices though - as I give it more thought. I would go only the bottom or middle. People who look at the total price and go; "I can afford more than that!", well, they can buy better or more. But when you are trying to figure out how much of your budget to set aside for clothes, the minimal value is very valuable. heh. Good list.

I use the same (reversible) belt for my slacks and pants, but I have a different belt I use with jeans. To me, a belt that works good with dress pants doesn't look right with jeans.

People remember you better with a memorable, and preferrably not funky, scent. Now, while AXE may be all the rage among the 15-20 crowd who can't afford something better than Drakkar Noir, it shouldn't be your office cologne of choice, nor should it be your grandfathers Old Spice that you inherited. What I'm saying here is, if you want to round out a nice wardrobe, don't forget to smell as good as you look. Very few things scream cheap like stinking the place up with Aqua Velva.

Pretty much every company makes them now but they definitely have to be of the tagless variety. I can't believe it took this long for those to be invented but I can't live without my tagless t shirts. Suggestion for the V-Necks.
