When is it appropriate to wear a white casual jacket? Because I've read stuff about wearing white tuxedos only between may and september.

If you must insist on wearing pink girl's jeans, then you could combine it with worse things than a white polo shirt I suppose.

Hey Guys,
I've recently lost a lot of weight (almost 4 stone at the moment) and am planning on losing another stone and a half before going to uni in September. That will take me to about 12.5 stone. Problem is everything in my wardrobe is too big for me. I'm planning on spending about a grand on completely redoing my wardrobe. Where should I start and what would be the best way to get value for money.

If I were you I'd definitely try and get to my stable weight at least for a few months before completely revamping my wardrobe. You don't want to find that after half a year or so everything is too big or too small again.

In the mean time I would buy some cheap basics that fit well and layer them over each other to make a more interesting look (plain/stripey t shirt over cardigan/hoodie), and get a pair of cheap jeans that fit well. Also use this time to figure what you like stylewise and what suits you, theres nothing worse than spending a **** load of money on one item an then realising a few months later that you never wear it.

When you do reach a stable weight I'd say build up your wardrobe gradually, that way youll get better bargains from sales (watch out for online bargains and use coupons), and your less likely to buy a load of stuff you dont really like.

Best places to get good value for students (assuming your late teens/early twenties) i'd say is topman sales, h&m, primark (if your careful) and eBay (if you know the sizing and you know what you want)

TL: DR version:

Wait for sales
Dont buy too much at once
Make sure your a stable weight before you spend **** loads

Spend money on a couple of decent pairs of shoes (£50-100) and a couple of high quality coats (£100-200) that will last you a lifetime. Other than that, spending big money (ie more than £50) on individual items is generally a waste of money. Buy a range of well fitting trousers in different materials (eg denim, cotton, linen, wool), a couple of pairs of knee length shorts, a load of polo shirts and long sleeve button up shirts in different colours, and a variety of sweaters (v-neck, round neck, zip neck, hooded, in order of decreasing formality). Avoid well-known "fashionable" brands as the quality/price ratio will be significantly lower than lesser known makes. Also avoid buying into short-lived trends that will be passe in 6 months time, and buy good quality classic styles instead.

With Banana Republic I'd advise sizing down tbh. I'd normally be a medium elsewhere but I find a size small is the better size for me in BR.

Oh I also bought these from ASOS. I know the ASOS brand can be hit-and-miss but I liked them so I thought they'd be worth a try at least (haven't received them yet).

Also vests. Not posting pictures because I'm pretty sure you can use your imagination.

Cheers. I have a really weird size where medium is normally small for me and large becomes really baggy around my underarms so I'll probably get it in medium.
