Thank you for posting my question, Will. I appreciate everyone's advice.Much of what I've read here I've already had in mind, the only problem is acquiring said items! :D- Alon

Regarding Visconde's advice: a jacket with no tie is fine and good, but a tie-with-no-jacket-or-sweater look is what lots of insufficiently fashionable college students wear when they want to dress up. It looks very prep school to me--it makes the wearer look about 12 years old. I do not recommend it. It is improper, but more importantly, it is not effective for making you look good.

I have to second Will's observation to not be afraid of vintage clothing. You can find amazingly well cut and constructed garments that work well on their own or with jeans. For example, a great vintage overcoat, a Harris Tweed sportcoat (or blue blazer), a cashmere turtleneck, good jeans and ankle boots will go a long way during the winter, if I remember correctly...

I have one rule on going to school: DON'T COMBINE A TIE WITH A JACKET. It works perfect for me, if I wear a jacket, I don't wear a tie and the other way round. Vests can be worn as often as possible, it's getting back in fashion and matching trousers and vest always looks stylish.

I would not take Will's advice to "buy neutrals" too strictly; you would look out of place in a gray flanel suit or a dark gray super 100s. Do wear a jacket with an elegant cut, but try casual fabrics in modern colors. Simply by wearing a well fitting jacket and avoiding jogging shoes, blue jeans and anything baggy, you will already look much more elegant than the rest.
