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?


No. Jogger and hoodies.


I hope you know you are undermining interest in getting educated in Boston. Isn't the point to learn how to flex that (probably just Ralph Lauren invented) Ivy League/NE rich person aesthetic?

If everyone looks like Mark Wahlberg's nephew, then hard pass.

There is no way to generalize that. Mine needing nice clothes as part of an honors program for events and dinners. Much less any social, interviews for internships, etc.

One nice outfit is good to have. Things come up that they don’t anticipate. Just a pair of khakis, button down, tie, belt shoes, navy sport coat. Happened to mine and really glad he had.
Guys like shackets lately (flannel shorts to wear over ts. Fleece lined sometimes)
Ofc shower shoes and slides too
