[quote=Anonymous][quote]The ^^PP makes a fair point. Business casual clothes are necessary. Plus we've found that there are a lot of formal wear activities as well as dress clothes for school events, dinners with parents (friends, roommates) or other events.

We also are trying keep an eye on the future. It seems prudent to help the kids build a base wardrobe so that when they graduate they have sufficient clothing, business casual and casual, so that they only need to focus on supplementing. For our boys that means we're buying nice trousers at Jos A Banks or Brooks Brothers or Nordstroms. And blazers, of course. For the girls that means a mix of skirts, trousers, blouses and sweaters. For both boys and girls, winter coats, trench coats, shoes and boots.

I went to Yale along with my twin brother.  He had a pair of khakis and one plain button down shirt and one patterned one, and one blazer. Two ties, one of which he "lost" because he disliked it (our mother insisted he take it).  He had a pair of oxfords.  When he went to dinners he wore jeans, a t-shirt and his blazer.  He never conformed and wore the standard Preppy Guy outfit, because that wasn't him.  Just like I wore babydoll dresses and Docs when I needed to dress up.  [/quote]
