<p>Okay, for those of you who live in jeans and tshirts, my problem is this: I have $500 to spend on clothes for college. What exactly should I buy? I'm thinking like 6 jeans and maybe 15-20 shirts?</p>
<p>do you really need that many shirts?</p>
<p>do you have a suit? If not, you should probably get one just in case you need to go for interviews/semi-formals.</p>
<p>if not a suit, at least a decent pair of pants- black, khaki...gotta start thinking like a grownup</p>
<p>3 jeans, 8-10 shirts (you should have some already...), khakis, sweaters, sweatshirts, dress clothes, workout clothes, party clothes (i.e. button down shirts/polos)...you pretty much need it all in college.</p>
<p>Is the $500 for all year or just for fall? Where you are going will also make a big difference because weather is different.</p>
<p>I usually just do one big shopping trip in august, and one smaller one in december for hoodies, long sleeve shirts, etc.</p>
<p>I'm in south GA so its always either mild or hot....so "winter" clothes arent a neccessity.</p>
<p>A suit.
Nice shoes, which really, really fit you.
Warmer stuff for evenings. (a jacket, maybe..)</p>
<p>Buy those sweatshirts you can flip inside out, it's like having two shirts for the price of one!</p>
<p>Also underwear. Lots of underwear. Same with socks. The worst feeling you can have is wearing dirty underwear/socks.</p>
<p>I wouldn't buy all t-shirts and jeans. Like others have said, you also need nice clothes. Get a variety of clothing. You also need to figure in shoes and under-garnments.</p>
<p>Are you male or female?</p>
