Med School Wardrobe

My grandmother says "slacks". 😛
Unless your school has a dress code, jeans/shorts and a clean t-shirt are fine for pre-clinical classes. Even better will be your pajamas while you stream the lectures from home.
Striped slacks are ok on women, probably a little too metro on men outside of wearing a suit.
Fleece or a wool sweater is fine. You will need a fleece in the hospital as well during clinical years; its always cold.
I was thinking merino wool kind.
Sounds good. My oldest suit is an idiotic pinstripe and I havn't worn it in 3 years. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull of just the slacks. f* it then.
Oh, and by the way, say I am going to medical school in the middle of the tundra. Any preference on jackets?
Be on the cutting edge of fashion! Wear these, the new business casual, schoolboy style:
lmao that looks awful
I think this is fine if you are going to med school in Bermuda.Be on the cutting edge of fashion! Wear these, the new business casual, schoolboy style:
Those shorts seriously look like they too one of those big paper cutters and hacked off half of the pants.Be on the cutting edge of fashion! Wear these, the new business casual, schoolboy style:

J crew men's suits should be outlawed.
Invest in some lulu. That's all we wore in school. Hell I still wear a ton of it to work. Ya can't tell if I'm wearing spandex bike pants under my white coat if I have on nice shooz and my hair and makeup is done 😀 fancy wins!
The short suit looks ridiculous, but the Ludlow is half-canvassed and not a bad deal on sale. What's your problem with it? The 2.5" lapels?

Wow, that is not a good-looking model. Still, I could see people that I went to school wear stuff like that.
It beats the med student I saw today wearing buttoned short white coat, oversized khaki pants pulled up and tightened with a belt making it look like it had an elastic waist, square toe black shoes, and white athletic socks.
I am not a fashionable man
fixed
This is some of the best advice I've read on SDN, for males and females.
Hm thanks for the suggestion but after perusing the website, it seems that lulu may not be well suited for my purposes
Are there any stores or brands in particular that make good low-maintenance men's shirts, preferably in slim fits?

Victoria's Secret has nicely fit and comfy yoga pants as well (semi annual sale also)!
brooks brothers non iron dress shirts
Ah... yes.... perhaps I should have included "low cost" in there as well. On-sale price of $65 is a bit rough.
FML nailed it above.
Brooks Brothers non-iron slim fit dress shirts, with an Ainsley collar.
Wait about a week - they usually have a big sale after fathers day.
Also, $65 isn't very rough when you consider that I just had to replace my first one this year, after 6 years of wear.
Sorry. Uhhhh...not sure. @Kaustikos and my dad and most doctor people I know wear those.
Maybe try Nordstrom? I think they have an in-house brand.

J crew had like a 2-3 year stretch where their suits were great. Decent construction quality, not the bag-like fit of a Jos Banks or Macys suit.
Now they've been on a downward spiral of decreasing quality, increasing cost, and worse fashion.
Yeah, for womens clothes too. I cant with some of their stuff. And it used to be cute. Now its just meh.
Also, no Brooks Brothers anywhere near here. Maybe I'll order one after Father's day if there's a big sale, but I'm hesitant about ordering fitted shirts without trying them on first.
Embrace the glory of online shopping.
I rarely set foot in a retail store anymore. It's so much more efficient to shop online.
Sometimes I think I personally keep Amazon in business.
But I have so much trouble finding clothes that fit properly when I'm shopping in person I can't imaging buying clothes online unless I had previously tried the item on elsewhere.

they aren't cycling pants if they don't have the padding though.
Can you be specific about the decreasing quality?
First question answer=Everyday.
At our school, the required uniform for guys in lecture is navy/black suit with tie or bowtie for the old-school types; girls require a dress with flats or heels--color of your choice. In clinic, tuxedos are required for guys, while girls may opt for an inexpensive ball gown with three inch heels--white coat and ID mandatory for both, of course. Shoes must be adequately polished at all times--you automatically lose 10% of your final grade in CDM if you are caught with scuffs on your shoes.
But we're pretty laid back.

.....I almost took you seriously
everything south of the mason dixon is just odd
Hey now...

indianapolis was a massive culture shock for me 😱

Yet it is very practical, given the conditions. Seersucker suits have vents all over and are made of very light material. It's easy to stay cool in one, no matter what the heat and humidity.
I'm from the north myself, but I've definitely found it's best to adopt the local customs. It's kinda fun, too!
It's ok. I went to Indianopolis once too. Went to a restaurant, reflexively asked for a sweet tea, and the waitress said "We don't have sweet tea, but I can bring you some iced tea and you can add sugar to it." I also went 😱
You're an all star
There's no good seafood to be found anywhere there(what pond did you get that fish from again?) and all the best rated restaurants are steakhouses. Effing fantastic for a brown person like me. ><
Get yo game on...
I like Banana Republic non-iron dress shirts.
Any more real advice for a very fashion insensitive young man?

Let's pretend that I'm poor
The Banana Republic non iron shirts are nice. They come in classic, slim, and tailored slim fits. They "retail" for $80, but 40% off sales are the norm for them. You also get a 25% off coupon that stacks with their usual sales when you sign up for the making list. I've gotten most of mine for somewhere around $30-35, which is a great value for what you're getting.
