I'm also extremely disillusioned about my wardrobe! My God, what was I thinking when I bought (and wore!) those things. I'm cleaning out my closet today and filling up bags for Goodwill.
My basic wardrobe now is black T-shirts, properly fitting longsleeve shirts, and jeans. I also now own a respectable belt for jeans (one that's made for jeans, big and thick, ya know?) instead of some wimpy Eddie Bauer thing. I now also own a corduroy sport coat that fits trim and looks good with tighter jeans. And I've gotten over my fear of accessories--wife bought me some leather and hemp bracelets and I'm going for it!
No more:
Polo shirts
Pastel colors
Khakis
Cargo pants
Oversized Ts
Oversized longsleeve shirts (I'm an L, dammit, what are all these XLs doing in my closet!)
Button down collars--I don't see the point! A collar should be free to be itself, a collar, not buttoned down to the shirt. And no, it's wrong to wear a buttoned collar unbuttoned.
Blazers a size to big!
