Who doesn't like to look good? Setting aside all of the timeless wisdom of only making one first impression, clothes can make or break an individual, and blah blah blah, it simply feels good to look good.
There are many different options, Good Will, Men's Warehouse, Macy's, or even some of the more upscale-but-small shops in Santa Row or similarly expensive overrated location. However if you want to look good on the cheap, there are two ways to go about it, one of them is a new company that I have recently stumbled upon.
The first is a small chain located in New York, NY, called Century 21 Department Store. I managed to pick up a whole slew of ties and shirts, most them ranging from $5-10 and approximately $20 respectively. These shirts and ties managed to see me through 18 days in Europe traveling through some of the most important Non-Governmental Agencies in the world. The cheap but well made clothing really withstood the scrutiny to the stylings of Europe.
Whenever I am in NY, I stop by the huge department store and pick up a few nice things to expand my wardrobe. They do have an online section, but half the fun is browsing the huge assortment of items that are literally wall to wall in their store.
The second is the more important recent find is a site called the Combat Gent. They are an up and coming site that has lots of stylish but modestly priced suits and accessories that many recent graduates will find themselves in need of.
While every student should own at least one suit, there are many ways to dress for success that do not require suits. Often overlooked are the slacks and cardigans or even just a nice dress shirt. Searching either site, one would find many different options, many times several different outfits can be created from just two or three different shirt and pant combinations.
Again one of things any college student should leave their institution with is a set of skill how to dress and act when entering their chosen profession. And these sites can help you do it cheaper than a quarter at SCU,
