Hey,
Niidawg, who's a regular contributor in here, posted this as a list of basics/starters to begin dressing better. It's not exclusive, but I think it's a good summary and it's helped me.

Im not asking whatto wear like pick me a outfit (II), its more like where to start so Ican learn my style on what fits right to my personality. For examplewhen you guys first started was it clarks and blazers, cardigans andboat shoes , polo and dressed shoes. slacks vs jeans ? , is new erasstill a go? (please say yes) and last department or online storesstores that sell all dope items? is there any sites or blogs that caterto Dressing better?
lotsof good questions most of which have unfortunately been addressed inprevious pages. but i'll throw out the list i gave to someone who askedthe question a while back again:
- well fitting white shirt
- well fitting blue shirt
- well fitting khaki pants
- well fitting dark rinse jeans
- well fitting navy blazer
- ties to match your style, personality and weather
-leather soled shoes - no aldos, no kenneth coles. invest in a good pairor two - they will last you a while and will have better resale value
- well fitting charcoal or navy suit
- pair of low profile sneakers ... jack purcells, alife, adidas stan smiths, claes ... something like that
thiscan form the basis of ANY wardrobe. they are staples that everyoneneeds irrespective of how you dress. then you can start adding thepieces ... pocket squares, denim jackets, suede or leather chukkas etcetc etc.
for a work day you can wear a white shirt, khakipants and throw on a blazer with a tie. you would look better than 90%of the population if the fit and color coordination is spot on. the fora night out, you can loosen the tie ... and depending on the weather,take off the jacket and roll up the sleeves of the shirt. mix and matchall of the above and you will be good.
