Jeans and a couple of nice t-shirts, but overall it just boils down to what your into, i would suggest flannels but that's because i dig them, some people makes shoes a priority and that's fine, but get what you both like, fit comfortably and synegizes with your outfits/styles OP

a proper wardrobe should consist of:

>home wear (what you wear at home, to sleep, when you have no plans of leaving your home, etc.)*

>out wear (what you wear to leave the house, do tasks, go shopping, visit friends/relatives, etc.)*

>professional (what you'd wear to work settings, business ventures, etc.)*

>formal (what you'd wear to weddings, events, funerals, etc.)*

>athletic (fitness/sporting gear)

>cultural (anything that denotes your culture, if applicable)

>special purpose (swimsuits, lingerie, sanitation suits, etc.)

if you're starting from scratch, focus on the 4 fundamentals first (*). lean towards neutral colors at first until you can begin to add color. focus on quality over quantity, and try not to put too much towards one category while disregarding the others.

>>12630282 is a good start.

Black boots
White trainers
Black derby shoes

That's all you need

>> No.12630804

>Black derbies (125$)
>Slim fitting black canvas pants (2 for 100$)
>Black socks (10$)
>Whatever top pieces you like. This can be sweatshirts, hoodies, buttoned shirts. or whatever. (265$ for several pieces)
There you have it, all for 500$. Just remember to buy your top pieces in plain colors. These pieces combined will make up for very basic fits, but it's a good starting point. You can add in another pair of shoes, like plain white trainers, for fewer top pieces but that's up to you.

Forgot to quote. I should also mention that the pieces I listed are generally considered as mature clothing, so you will not walk around looking like a teenager.
