I like J. Crew’s broken in t-shirts. They wear well and seem to last, plus they come in a few different fits. Bonus, they’re on sale right now.

Thats a bummer. I have 2 J Crew outlet stores and a regular store within a 20 min drive of me. Buy a lot of my stuff from them.

McQueen or anyone else.. What are y’all doing for sneakers these days? I usually wear Alden shoes but looking for sneakers to dress down. Seems like the leather common projects type sneakers are in. I’m not willing to pay the price for common projects. Suggestions on brands and styles?

I posted earlier that I've been wearing my Koio for the last two months and have 0 complaints. They're comfortable out of the box, veg tanned leather, and have held up very well.
Capri in Castagna
You can't go wrong with the Capri in Castagna—it looks sharp when dressed up with tailoring, and works just as well when paired back with faded jeans. It's handcrafted from vegetable-tanned leather and brushed with a blend of waxes and oils that impart a velvety sheen. Each pair develops a...

I also have a pair of Crown Northampton on the way but won't be here until late September.
Harlestone Derby - Grey Horween Buffalo
The Harlestone Derby is finished with Lactae Hevea soles. Made from virgin hevea milk harvested directly from the Cao Su or 'Crying Wood' tree.

There are a couple of other brands out there that are way more value compared to the Common Projects.
For Jeans I have two pair of these and they're fine. I don't wear a ton of jeans but they're comfortable.
ORIGIN™ WORK JEANS - STRAIGHT
Wear jeans that are made for the job. Our heavyweight stretch-denim work jeans feature 6 belt loops for balanced stability, 3x-felled inseam construction for durability, shark-fin back pockets for ergonomic access, and body mapping with reverse yokes for refined contour and a fuller seat.

You can get basically these same shoes from Banana Republic factory for like $50. I bought some for summer and they do the job. If you wanna go a bit nicer, Thursday makes some really nice sneakers in a lot of different colors.

I wear raw denim and normal sanforized denim. Uniqlo has honestly been a game changer in price and comfort. They run a bit big is my only complaint.

Alright bros how do I build a 'business casual' wardrobe without spending infinity dollars. All the shitty blogs that come up on Google want me to jut buy 150$ fitted shirts and suit pants and that seems like overkill.
I've literally never had to do this in my 25 years of working lol
Jeans are apparently okay and I've got that covered, but what's your go-to pants for the slightly-above-jeans-tier dress code?

Bonobos performance link pants are really nice but shop sales.
I also like my JCrew tech pants. Any brand of chinos with a more athletic/slim fit are nice to be honest. Some people even swear by the ones target carries.

It's really not a matter of brand, you can go to Ross and find slacks that fit. Just go try them on until you find a brand that fits you properly, and then buy more of that brand.
I wear slacks/button-up to the office most of the time, $30 amazon brand button-ups are fine, there's absolutely no reason to buy $150 pants.

Outlet malls are money. JCrew and Banana Republic factory stores, their websites also go even cheaper than the stores with more discounts. Nordstrom rack and Ross also other good options. Some times you can find decent stuff at Old Navy or Amazon.

When I was around the lawyer crowd/courtroom a lot, I got away with Charles Tyrwhitt shirts and j crew/Bonobo pants when I wasn't in a suit. If you need button downs, the Tyrwhitt shirts are really solid, and they're to your measurements - they also always run a 3 for $99 sale, so don't buy them full price.
I currently do a lot of Under Armour/Travis Mathew golf polos and slacks/chinos which is fine where I'm at now, you just want to be conscious of some of the tech prints from UA as they look very "coach"-ish. You could probably get away with aforementioned pants of any sorts that have a good fit, and the nicer Jiffy.com t-shirts listed a page back. The Next Level black shirts with pants and decent shoes can get you far depending on how laid-back the "business casual" tag really is.

+1 for Charles Tyrwhitt shirts. They're always on sale.
I found the slim ones fit good, but find a good tailor just in case.

Thanks bros

Same thing happened to me. Spend 5 years working in my boxers and suddenly have to go back to meetings. Luckily a lot of my stuff still fit but I did want more fitted stuff than what I bought 10 years ago.
