Wardrobe overhaul

Monkeys, now that I’m no longer a scrub in college and have been making some money, I need ideas for casual wear / date night outfits. My wardrobe is extremely stale, and the fraternity bro attire needs to go. Time to start dressing like a man that is no longer on his parents’ insurance. 
What do you you wear to brunch? Nice dinners? Watches? Shoes?

You use a ton of words to talk, I’m amazed.

Solid, thanks for your thoughts. Luckily I’m in shape and have great forearms, so I love wearing shit that accentuates this..rolled up shirts should do the trick.

what about logos on polos? I bought some nice brooks bros pique slim polos but wasn’t too sure if the small breast logo was a no go

Fit comes first, regardless of clothing. Burn that into your mind. Im 27, for reference. 

For fall/winter:

Get yourself two pairs of boots: 1 black, 1 dark brown (never go light brown), invest a bit here.

Personally I like turtlenecks, but that's not for everyone. Generally, layering some knitwear (I like cashmere, merino wool will do too though, problem with those is that they are often pretty flimsy) will do the job (you can either go t-shirt or shirt underneath, depending on occasion/what kind of chick you want to bang) 

Get a navy/black wool coat, preferably with soft shoulders (personal preference here, structured shoulders are a bit too "old" for me, I don't want to look like my grandfather). Then get a parka for really cold days (try to find something with discreet branding, Woolrich has some decent pieces here). 

And finally, get yourself some twill chinos for winter, and chinos for fall. Or jeans, but I personally don't like jeans. (I own about 8 pairs of chinos and 2 pairs of jeans lol)

Take your Time and buy the peaces one by one. Don't rush it. 

There are also a lot of other things you can dip your toes into, such as denim jackets, overshirts, vests. etc
