what would this be for?
Interviews, church, shows, parties, regattas. Sometimes helps with upgrades on planes and underage drinking everywhere.

Winter casual waterproof boots - Sorel, Wolverine
1 puffer coat

1 pr waterproof school shoes/Keen Targhee style
Sneakers per habit
4-6 pairs jeans (per taste, could be grey, black, blue)
All the khakis & best polos from uniformed senior year
7 Casual long-sleeve jersey or cotton shirts
3 dressier casual shirts for parties
1 business suit/very formal outfit
2 dress shirts
3 sweaters if worn, or sweatshirts (heavier tops)
2 long-sleeve winter pajama sets or substitute idea
Lightweight pajamas per taste
Athleticwear per taste
Buy more warm tops in Boston if needed. New England is a better place to buy sweaters than the DMV.
Above is the outline of a refresh of my inbound freshman's wardrobe for college. His senior year wardrobe is almost worn out - not exaggerating. He will be walking a lot at college so hopefully won't gain weight and outgrow these things. This core wardrobe should be good for 2 years minimum for temperate and cold seasons.
Think advising on color of jeans and brand of clothes is a bit much?

Can you provide link to the boots? We are not from a cold area and uncertain what boys were for winter boots.

Even if he does not put on fat, men keep growing wider through their early to mid-20s; if he didn’t gain weight in college, that would be a problem.

I don’t know any boys that wear jeans. I think it is more of a west coast thing. I would wait until he gets to school before buying any jeans! My DS doesn’t even own one pair of jeans and I have never seen his friends wear them either.
PP. That's my list. I live in Michigan. My kids wear jeans year round. They do not favor the slouchy sweatpants look. It's their choice. Most of their classmates do a lot of athleisure (especially sweats) but if you go to normal stores for teen boys like American Eagle and Old Navy there are huge quantities of jeans. It's not rare.
We are in DC and my son and his friends all wear khakis, not jeans. I do think it is regional.
