Need to build a work wardrobe for DH

Just no. Her husband is an attorney not a video game tester.

My DH is an attorney too. He works at a small firm and wears business casual except when he goes to court (about once a week on average). He has 4 suits, and for a normal workday he wears khakis (or similar slacks in gray, navy, black, or brown) and a button-down shirt, or sweater (in the winter), or nice polo (in the summer). That's pretty much the uniform. He loves the no-iron shirts. They have them at Brooks Brothers (he got them at the outlet) and they have them at Costco now too and probably most department stores/mens clothing stores. We hate ironing and it is so nice to be able to wash them at home instead of paying for dry cleaning/professional laundering. Flat front pants -- pleats look dated. Some brands make their shirts much too blousy, too -- a slimmer fit, if you can pull it off with your body type, looks more polished. At middle of the road department stores it may require a little looking around to find the more "modern fit" stuff, as the last time I looked the older style was the default. (This is part of the reason PP suggested Banana Republic). Anyway, for shoes: He has "court shoes" in brown and black, and still nice but more casual loafers in brown and black for everyday wear. That's pretty much it. You're on the right track!
