Durable classic clothing was expensive even then. Compare cost of living, the few staples that have gone down in cost past decades counting inflation have been TVs, computers, and clothing.

Men used to spend upwards of 10% of their salaries on clothing in years past. But the quality that came with that was sacrificed for more, cheaper clothes as time went on. Starting in the 1970s.

Even then, I think it must be conceded that even cheap fashion from then is mostly better. If polyester is discounted. Compare a 1980s Hong Kong made shirt that was cheap for it’s time to a modern Bengali one, and it’s palpable.

Y'all prefer three or two button jackets?

Like most fashion atrocities of the past two decades, I blame Silicon Valley. They don’t like to dress like adults, so as a means to cope, they rebelled by putting sneakers to more formal wear and it has trickled down to the masses.

Also Boomers just giving up and opting for comfort. Which is wear much of the sneaker-dress shoe Frankenstein shoes come from.

No. Most people in even rural areas probably have access to some moderately bigger city with a chain shoe store. The dress shoe probably won’t be the best or most comfy, but it won’t be a sneaker.

Even Western stores and boot barn type stores carry some degree of formal or semi formal shoes.

Wearing something with a collar already puts you above 90% of the student body in regards to formality.

You don’t want to look like a LARPy business student on one hand, nor do you want to degrade into sweatpants every day. Keep one decent pair of dress clothes (at least two dress shirts, navy blazer, khakis 1-2 ties, and cheap dress shoes) for events that could need them.

To achieve your goals, I’d simply invest in non-jean, non-sweatpant trousers (linen, non beige chinos, some cords), casual button down shirts, some sweaters and maybe one or two interesting jackets that aren’t hoodies. Shoes, keep to simple, neutral sneakers and maybe a pair of chukkas.

Use ebay and thrift.
