Men's Jeans
Jeans are the staple of many a stylish guy's wardrobe. With good reason - jeans can pretty much go with any shirt - except denim. They are compatible with most shoes as well.
Make sure they're not too fitted/tight. Girls can pull that style off - leave it to them.
Men's Khakis
For most white-collar jobs, the khaki will be your bread and butter. Again, avoid pleats and the dreaded taper. If you find a pair of khakis that fit you well, consider getting them in multiple colors. For example, a black khaki is a great choice for semi-formal events when you'd prefer a little more flexibility over a dress pant.
Men's Dress Pants
Since you'll be spending a fair amount of dough on these anyway, make sure you get them tailored for the actual dress shoes you'll be wearing them with.
Men's Undershirts & T-Shirts
1. Undershirts, or 'essential t-shirts', are a necessary part of every wardrobe. You should probably never wear these on their own, but they provide a clean base for your other shirts. Build up a collection base of neutral colors - white, grey and black.
2. Graphic T's are a fine casual choice, but a couple of tips here. First, keep the graphic simple - and it shouldn't stand out too much. Second, you don't want the shirt to appear too crisp or new - you're going for a casual comfortable look. Lastly, fit is very important - that is, the shoulder seam should actually be sitting on your shoulder, and the rest of the shirt should not look like it's hanging off of you . Avoid potential offensive jokes and writing gimmicks. Layering T-shirts is OK - for example a short sleeve T with a long sleeve shirt underneath.
Men's Polos
Another good casual choice. Again - most of the time, go with a layered look - just make sure your undershirt is not the same color as your overshirt. On the other hand, you don't want your undershirt to contrast too much with your overshirt - this is pretty easy to do - just avoid wearing white under a black shirt - i.e. go with gray.
Men's Sweatshirts
Everyone needs a good hoodie - throw one of these on, and one of your essential t-shirts, and you're good to go. Plus it can double as a light jacket on its own. Sleeve length should come down to your first thumb knuckle.
Men's Sweaters
Not too much to say about the standard sweater. Sleeve length should come down to your first thumb knuckle. For a preppy look you can wear a collared shirt underneath. One advanced tip is to try going with a sweater color that matches your eyes (this goes for all shirts.)
Men's Collared & Dress Shirts
1. It's hard to go wrong with a collared shirt in most circumstance - if you stay away from bright colors or crazy stripes. A collared shirt (layered, of course) will serve you well at the club, on date or at a party. Remember, if you're not wearing a tie or sweater over it, then no tuck-in!
2. Everyone needs a white dress shirt. The key here is to go with thicker material - see through is not cool. Also, as soon as you wear a shirt with a tie, it needs to be pressed and neat. When wearing a tie with a colored collared shirt, try to have a color in the tie match the shirt.
