buying expensive clothes doesn't mean its going to give you the look you want...if you buy expensive clothes just for the labels without knowing how its meant to be worn, you're just gonna look like you're trying too hard and thats never cute...that being said, price does reflect quality and you should be aware that you're wallets gonna be feeling awfully light after some serious shopping..
I'd recommend the following for starters:
- Seven Jeans for men (they have fabulous cuts and you generally don't need them altered, but if they're too long or too wide in the hips PLEASE do, you'll never get the money you paid for them looking like that!)
- for shirts, it really isn't so difficult...you mainly want to stay away from anything that's too large or too tight..again, the key point here is fit..if you're wearing a T-shirt or polo, you want the sleeve to be well fitted and just at slightly above 1/2 way of your arm, the length should hit just barely past belt level, enough for the belt to be visible at times if you wore one, nothing longer than that...the most classic look for school without looking like a scrub is always a casual plaid button-up that you can roll up the sleeves about 3/4 of the way up with a long-sleeved, fitted thermal underneath..
An even easier look is just to throw on a sweatshirt (yes, hollister or abercrombie is a great choice here) but I would also highly recommend well-fitting track jackets, Puma makes a great variety of colors and styles to choose from.
*I'd also like to mention that plain white t-shirts or fitted thermals go great with this, just don't ever wear anything with a V-neck!**
This is great if you want to go for the athletic, easy look which is always uber hot!
- And finally...shoes! They can definitely kill your whole look if you choose the wrong ones...with the classic, straight cut of the jeans shown above, a good choice is always a pair of classic black chucks, slip on vans, or my personal favorites -> slip-on leather pumas!
K...that's a wrap! This is a terrific place to start, this will give you a clean cut, casual look that is terrific for school or just hanging out that will have you looking well put together without trying too hard...As you can see, there's a little bit of everything here..you have a little preppy with the shirts, something classic with the jeans, but still athletic with the track jacket..
And one more thing..please make sure you never try to accessorize with anything more than your backpack or a hat

The hell? No one listen to this broad... please. First of all, SMH @ you for telling dudes to wear sevens. We're not girls, and there are certain brands that become douchy and bro-like when guys wear them.
Brands none of you should wear:
Sevens
True Religion
Juicy Couture Men
Rock & Republic
Please. Secondly, another SMH @ you for recommending hollister shirts. **** with that bs. The last thing I need to see walking around campus here at University of Oregon is another 'bro' wearing sevens with an abercrombie/hollister/american eagle tee and flip-flops. If you must go to the mall to buy your clothes, I hope you respect yourself enough to not go into these teen stores.
Stop recommending people dress like douchy so-cal 'bros'. We don't need that garbage. Telling people this simply adds the original problem.
Friend:
Calm the hell down! Nobody's shoving my suggestions down your throat lol
Please take a minute to refer back to the original poster, who was requesting suggestions for a change from his usual shabby sweats look....What I recommended in my post was quite simply a casual, laid back feel (yes, this is california style..and?) for school, since he is a STUDENT so excuse us if some people actually do go to shop at these mall contraptions? LOL
you're somethin else to talk about having guys dress "douchey" when you have the guts to say something as high and mighty as all that
back to the topic..my point was actually more about a general, casual style that would be a perfectly suitable alternative than sweats for school..the examples i listed were just that, EXAMPLES..you can obviously go with any brand you choose from, its still quite honestly a fabulous look for men and incredibly hot if I do say so myself...A&F, Hollister, all that are just a good place to start if you're interested in pursuing that look...
that having been said, you could have been a whole heck of a lot more adult, and a hell of a lot less obnoxious with your objection
Can I shove my suggestions down your throat?
