[quote=Anonymous]DH is an attorney but doesn't usually look like it, refuses to ever go shop for clothes unless they are for skiing  :roll: but had an "a-ha" moment the other night when we were at an event for a friend's company and actually paid attention to how people were dressed.  He just changed jobs and is more in a position where he is working on bringing in new clients, so he needs to start dressing like a grown up.  His last suit purchase was almost 6 years ago.  His shoes are falling apart.  He has decent ties (because I can buy those--nothing to try on!) but tends to stick to the same type.

So. . . he has announced that he's going shopping this weekend, yea!!  What are the basics he should start with?  He doesn't have to wear a suit to work everyday, so I'm guessing a couple of suits (solid charcoal, navy?) and several pairs of pants (so he's not wearing the suit pants and wearing them out, like he has always done in the past) are a good start, plus brown and black shoes.  Does that sound right?  Honestly, most of what he has been wearing need to just be tossed out.  He's lost 10 lbs lately and hopes to keep on that path, so we don't want to go all out just yet.

Caveat:  we no longer live in DC but in a medium sized city where so-so department stores and Jos. A Bank are pretty much it for shopping options.  No time right now to drive to the big city closest to us, so that's what he has to work with.

Thanks![/quote]
