Building a new wardrobe for 18 YO Male

Hollister11

Hi, since im leaving school next month i want to rebuild my wardrobe.

I'm not interested in just tracksuits and runners. I want a classy wardrobe.

Could people suggest what types of clothes and brands would be nice.

Would sketchers be suitable shoes

I just want to start dressing well
Haha i should of stated i dont partically want all my shoes to be Adidas and nike

Twee.

Stylish runners with jeans or chinos are very on trend at the moment, and will look far better than Skechers. You're only young! If you want something classier for nights out then chukka boots or brogues are good.

Adidas Gazelle or Samba, Puma Suede, New Balance 410 are all nice fashionable sneakers.

Bottoms wise I'd agree with ditching the track suits. Some nice block colour tees and Oxford shirts look slick and clean. Jeans should be straight cut or slim in my own opinion, and good solid colours. A Harrington jacket or army shirt jacket are nice cover ups.

Avoid logos ! that is all

New Balance or Nike for shoes. Plain slim leg jeans. Nothing baggy or ridiculous. Pennys have nice plain T-Shirts. I know its Pennys, but there colours are spot on. Chinos are a bit 2 years ago. But colour trousers are in(Zara). H&M Sweaters are good if they are the high wool ones, as the cotton ones dont last.

Best advance is dont buy logos. Most logo clothes companies have taken a hammering as no one buys their clothes any more. Some of it is due to the recession, but most people strongly dislike logo clothes. Abercrombie and Hollister is a bit 2005 for most people. Zara have nice clothes, the quality isnt amazing, but its better than most logo companies

If your looking for on trend t-shirts H & M are great. Relativity cheap but good quality I find.

Zara do lovely clothes for men. I always love a man in jeans and a striped t shirt, but that's just me

Clothes with the name or trademark symbol of the company splashed across them

richy

Penneys is where it's at. Coloured chinos/pants and coloured plain t shirts along with their vans like shoes. Some nice hoodies too. Put together looks really good and only 15ish for a hoodie or chino and 3 quid for to tshirt. The t shirts may not fit you tho as I have quite big arms and I imagine if you has small arms they'd be baggy. Could get your mother to alter the sleeves to being them in closer. Spend a 100+ Then on a nice jacket and sorted
