Figuring out my wardrobe
<TL;DR>
So what I am asking for really are some ideas and recommendations for a simple casual wardrobe for the office and day to day use.</TL;DR>
I’m in a spot in my life where I have a nice closet full of clothes accumulated over the past 20 or so years, many of which I rarely wear. So I am trying to figure out my wardrobe for the next 10-20 years of both corporate and personal life.
For background I’ve been working in construction in a site role until recently, so I was basically just wearing a t-shirt all the time, since it didn’t really matter what you wear under the hi-vis. I had a single collared shirt at standby if for whatever reason I would have needed to dress up for a meeting.
I just recently changed jobs to a more of an office role, with significantly more customer encounters as well, so I figured I’d need to a little bit more presentable, so I took out all of my old polo-shirts and bought a couple of new ones as well. It can still be very casual, most people at the office wear jeans & polos and or t-shirts. After 10 or so years of not really thinking about what I wear, I’m trying to gain some knowledge on what to wear at the office 😅

Yeah, this is my point. I’m trying to figure out the over all esthetics/looks and then going from there.
I’ll likely get some more polos and other suitable for office shirts in the shorter term, and remove some of the most worn down T-shirts from circulation.
