if you live near an outlet mall, you can get great bargains by shopping there. the outlet mall near my house has brooks brothers, polo ralph lauren, vineyard vines, j.crew and banana republic outlet stores, to name but a few. maybe there is an outlet mall near you.

and as axoalum and dstren suggested, look at tj maxx, marshall's, ross and steinmart. at these places you kind of have to keep going back to find exactly what you are looking for. i have seen polo dress shirts at marshall's priced between $20 and $30 dollars, and sometimes less, when on sale. you might even find a blue blazer, if you need one, at a discounted price. if you need a suit, mens warehouse has good sales, as does joseph a. banks.

also, add to your wardrobe in increments. don't rush out and buy a whole new wardrobe. buy one or two shirts now(and maybe a pair of khakis) and then save up some more $ and buy something else in a month or two. when you are shopping just don't think about the present, but think about clothes that you can wear to work after college to a "grownup" job.
