It’s amazing not because of the quantum of upvotes but because the suggestions were fairly basic but people really loved it! This shows how great the need to know some serious dressing hacks is. So we are expanding that short response on Quora to get you a more detailed “hacklist”. Here we go:
1. If there was only one shirt in your wardrobe
2. Some Dressing combo sub-hacks
(I) White shirt & well fitted dark indigo denims: Can be worn while travelling, sightseeing, partying, office-wear (not if there is dress-code), casual outing, basically just about anywhere.
(II) White shirt & charcoal grey trousers (without pleat, nicely cut, side pockets): Can be worn for officewear, interviews, meeting people, partying, conferences & seminars & even for traveling. Ideal combination for white collar jobs. (III) Jacket or a blazer: Even if you slightly senior in your profile & especially if you manage people, add this to any combination and your stature will be elevated by several notches. (IV) First Suit: Always charcoal grey, plain weave (no stripes, no checks and no herringbone) & a bespoke one. You can wear almost all the colors of shirts and ties with this one.

6. Tie Width = Lapel width
7. Shirt Collars
Collars are like photo frames with your face as the picture. So unless the picture is so beautiful that the viewer doesn’t care about the frame and the rest of the packaging, avoid limp collars. Get a bespoke shirt made or buy shirts which have collar bone provision, if the collars are already not stiff.
8. Trying while Buying
Always sit when you try a new shirt (after buttoning it up) or a trouser. Lot of trial rooms don’t offer seating facility. But you come out and look for a seat before making any decision.
9. Shoes wardrobe build up
On the shoes front, build your shoe wardrobe in this order:
Shoe Number 1: Classic dress shoes in black leather
Shoe Number 2: Classic boat shoes (with a heal) dominated by tan or black color
Shoe Number 3: Classic dress shoes in tan leather
This will give you a lot of flexibility without compromising on your style quotient
