[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Joggers, track pants, hoodies, t-shirts. Tell him to bring at least two pairs of his khakis, two polos, and two button down shirts and one pair of Oxfords in case he has to dress up for anything. [/quote]

Yeah, but skip the polo's and button downs - it's all casual all the time.  Hoodies, t-shirts, athletic shorts and sweat pants.  Lots of hoodies[/quote]

Boo.  Every woman's crazy about a sharp-dressed man!  Are there no preppies left in Boston?[/quote]

MY DC isn’t in Boston, but he was a gym shorts and t shirt guy that definitely upped his game after a semester of college. He asked for a formal top coat for winter, and he actually wears it (I admit I was skeptical that he would when we bought it). He wears button down shirts when they go out to restaurants and wears a suit or blazer to events (dinner with the University President, etc) multiple times a semester. DC has an internship this summer that requires business attire and we bought a second suit and a bunch of dress pants and shirts to go with the blazer.

This is a long way of saying that you should not assume that he’ll never need dressier clothes, and should leave some room in the budget for your kid’s tastes to change. [/quote]
