<p>Dont buy Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, etc. unless you’re in high school and the occasion is going to the local mall to stand around and take pictures of yourself to post on facebook. those brands are overpriced and cheaply made. If you need affordable stuff to fill out a wardrobe, try Lands End Canvas, and whatever’s on sale at Dillard/Macys. For nicer stuff, go with Ralph Lauren, J Crew, Banana Republic, Express (weekends), Brooks Brothers, etc. Its really about quality and not quantity. Have a few nice shirts, clean shoes, and well fitting jeans/slacks, and learn how to use an iron.</p>
