what would this be for?
Interviews, church, shows, parties, regattas. Sometimes helps with upgrades on planes and underage drinking everywhere.
Regattas? Plane upgrades? Tell me you are privileged without sayng you are privileged. Why did you leave out polo matches?
And it is sad that you are trying to aid your kid in underage drinking. Guess you do not track the leading causes of death for college aged kids (and leading risk factors for rape). Oops.
Yes, regattas! It’s college in Boston — there’s the Head of the Charles. It’s a thing kids do.
Anyway, a navy blazer is an essential part of the American male wardrobe — no arguing.
At Princeton in the ‘90s, it was good to own a tuxedo. This advice holds true some places.
PP. My husband's first navy blazer with brass buttons was a nice Ralph Lauren from Council Thrift for less than $15.
The point is that college kids need a nice outfit. No need to add drama.

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

It was $4.50, I believe.

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?
Geez...read the OP...she said no snark. What value have you added today?
