Four-Thirds Gentleman (Hi! First of all, I love your blog. It is very GQ/Esquire-esque. I love color and I dress somewhat preppy, but I’m looking into changing my style a bit into urban/street style like what you show on your blog. Where should I begin with clothes? (I know clothes don’t come cheap and as a college student, buying things on Etsy, Gilt, Clad, or Park and Bond are still expensive))

Use Gilt and Park and Bond as your goal or inspiration. Don’t focus on quantity (like trying to get a completely new wardrobe) but rather focus on a few knock-out pieces you’ll want to wear forever. Follow folks like Put This On who scour eBay for you. Or, assuming you’re learning about what you want, look on eBay yourself. Along the lines of sale websites: A few of my friends love JackThreads because of their prices, but I am not a huge fan of all of their stuff. Sometimes menswear tumblrs will sell their slightly used clothes, too. Good Luck, man.
