^^^^ this is good advice. dabble a little bit w/the cheaper off the rack stuff you can find at places like nordstrom rack. get a good tailor and you will be okay. when you start to know what you like and what you dont (and this takes years, not weeks) and you know what you want will last for 10 years (at least) then start to splurge. doing it this way will make you appreciate it more as well. but what i would recommend for the youngsters is custom shirts. you can get a custom shirt made for less then a lot of brand name off the rack shirts that you need to spend even more money on to get altered.
