andy what's the difference between those chinos you posted and, say, a shitty gap pair other than cotton quality. is that more likely to stretch like denim or something?

Out of those 4 I'd also take the 2nd pair. But I'm not really overwhelmed by those either.

Another fitting, taking some from my dad's wardrobe, he actually has something nice. Right now it's just to see more for size. This is a medium and I find it fits well, my parents usually get me large, i've also thinned up a bit. o.O

Woah super MC. what's the budget and time frame? I feel like you'll end up having to pick all these up over time so you don't wanna kill yourself lol.

Sorry, MC? Not familiar with the term. Also, I guess I haven't set a budget. Sub $1k for sure for now. My time frame is plenty long; I've begun to set up a list of clothes (a decent wardrobe, I guess) I would like to have over the next decade.

make a list of things you plan to buy before you start buying. saves you money. im thinking about my ocbds and trying to push myself in a direction aesthetically and all the ocbds i bought... im going to end up getting rid of everything but 2 blue BBs and a pink rugby. if you don't mind, you can always just have one made by a tailor bespoke. costs quite a bit more but its special. kinda sucks that rugby died actually. that's what i'd recommend for a light pink ocbd. i have yet to find a replacement but i got to see the pink BB one and the shade isn't actually too bad. i'd go with that.

I'd definitely be into having something bespoke, but at the time, I don't have *that* much money (not enough to feel comfortable dropping that much into a shirt) and I'm in the process of slimming down somewhat.

get a solid black knit. i have a navy one myself though. i don't think you need 3 of them. i also don't think you should only wear ocbds exclusively. and if you do you don't need to wear a tie every day.

I don't plan on wearing ocbds exclusively. I don't have anything in a pinpoint or broadcloth yet. Do you have other suggestions because I'm all ears. I have a healthy amount of t-shirts both crew and v-necks. Also, I certainly won't wear a tie everyday (although I don't mind it, and I like how it looks [with a tie clip, that is] - but I also like the top button unbuttoned).

i can't really help with the cords, but it depends on the cut you want. Alphas are a little baggy for me, but i'm not exactly the biggest guy. get grey flannel trousers.

I dig the grey flannel idea.

for shoes, make sure you get good ones. i'll probably end up recommending AE but it depends on your budget.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for an AE sale somewhere. Iunno how much I like the design on the Strands, but, say, the Park Avenues seem a bit too plain, maybe? (??)

no idea on jackets either but yes tailor the blazer.

Like I said, I'm looking for a professor-y look. Something maybe in a corduroy jacket or somethin'.

read this guy. he's fantastic and going through his archives i've learned so much. http://asuitablewardrobe.dynend.com/

he's very, very conservative MC, to an extreme but i love a lot of the aspects of how he does things - for example knowing the exact purpose for every article of clothing. I'm about 2.5 years into his archives and its sooo good. he also writes fantastically.

i feel like as a TA/grad student you're overdoing it a bit, but it depends what you plan to do in the future. make sure you dress for your job, so if you're going into a field with this kind of thing being the norm starting now is a great idea.

How's that? I'm not going in wearing a suit everyday or anything. Just a decent button-up and jacket for when it's cold (what kind of jacket iunno yet - like I said, a tweed sportscoat or the like sounds good to me). The ultimate job I want is to be a professor so there's that.
