How to dress nicely for office
Hi, I am 23M, 5,10ft, 150 lbs with a thin build. I will be joining my first job in a month's time in Central Eastern Europe. It is a back office role with no client interaction. I don't have many clothes to wear for the office and wanted help as how to start dressing more business casual and not like a child for the job.
From what I have heard, jeans and polos with sneakers also work in the team.
I was thinking of throwing in a jumper with a t-shirt, polo with a cardigan and polos with chinos/jeans, a couple of button ups but since I have never had such wardrobe, I am in a complete mess.
Since, this is my first job, I have a budget of about 350-400 EUR in total. Where can I find affordable places to buy some clothes from and what should I look to buy?
Hopefully, I can get help for this wonderful community

For that budget, you could get a lot of value from Uniqlo - be careful though as their sizing can be a little unorthodox, so def check size charts. They’re 100% my fav when it comes to affordable basics though.
congratulations! business casual is such a vague term, you might find this helpful in terms of inspiration for fits https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1117803378521673768/1240355583538761901
in terms of finding the items, most "mall" brands (uniqlo, j.crew, abercrombie, cos, etc) will have these building blocks. this thread has a much larger list of EU retailers, most of whom are within your budget https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1212368672363118613
I am really confused as to what would go well. A polo and chinos, or polo and jeans or a button down.
they all pair well with each other imo
are there any fits that you saw in that album or in #waywt or #inspiration featuring either a polo shirt or button down that you thought was really good to you?
it can be easier to focus on a specific fit and how to achieve it or what other people in your office are actually wearing vs making the judgment in a vacuum
