A quick note from someone who bought cloths for work before starting work and missed the mark for what was acceptable/expected. I was way too dressed up for work; the casual part of business casual was more evident. Put away money for clothing each month but don't buy the actual clothing until you’re sure of what is expected. For example business casual can mean different things at different companies, ranging from button down shirts and slacks to polos and khakis. Have enough clothing to make it though a week or a couple of days and then go shopping for clothing with the money you’ve saved up. This way you’ll be sure to fit in with the company’s culture.
