This summer I will be studying for a semester abroad in Bangkok and I want to upgrade my wardrobe to stick out from other students. Here are the official requirements:
Here are my thoughts:
- Shirt: I will get 5 tailor made white shirts with long sleeves in my first week in Bangkok. Any tips how I can vary the shirts (maybe different collars or a different length)? I don't want to buy 5 shirts that look exactly the same.
- Trousers: One pair of black slim fit trousers (maybe also tailor made), the other pair I am not sure yet. I own a pair of dark blue dress pants. Would that be too formal?
- Shoes: I already own a pair of black dress shoes but they are nothing special. I want to buy a new pair of shoes that I can also use for a dark blue suit. Any recommendations? Ideally, I want to buy dark boots (maybe dark brown?) that can be worn in a hot and humid country like Thailand and that can pass as dress shoes for university (if I wear long enough pants) but also look stylish and not too formal when I wear them on a night out with rolled up denim jeans.
- Tie: A tie is not mandatory and I reckon that most exchange student are not going to wear one. The locals students do wear ties. Should I wear one and if so, what kind of tie? I feel like a dark, thin one would look good since I will not be wearing a jacket.
- Watch: I really need to get a watch regardless of the exchange semester. Anyone know a stylish watch with a leatherband that is not too expensive?
- Any other tips how I can pimp a Thai school uniform within the university's requirements? Maybe some accessories that I have missed?
