I don't believe in "capsule" wardrobes because very few people actually throw out their clothing and start from square one, chances are that you are more likely to transition slowly into full /tip/ and that's fine. That said, pic related is one of the better "essentials" graphics out there, though there are many. The core point is that you start with versatile stuff -- blue or white ocbds, khakis, etc -- and then get more specialized pieces as you go. You can wear a white shirt, khakis and loafers to a cafe, to work, to a date, almost anywhere and it will be in the range of appropriateness. Not so with yellow cords and a shirt with embroidered dogs on it.

Quality over quantity, generally speaking, and buy your clothes out of season and on sale if possible. There are a lot of great deals on ebay, etsy, your local thrift shop etc if you are willing to be a little bit patient and wait for good pieces to show up at good prices. Meaning, don't drop $1000 at Brooks Brothers one afternoon if you want to get into /tip/. You will need time to figure out how to wear your pieces anyway, and what parts of the style you're comfortable with.

One side point because you mentioned it: obviously you don't want to show up to class in a suit, but students will or won't take you seriously based on your demeanor and personality, not whether or not you put a tie on for work. The most important rule of /tip/ is "time, place, occasion" -- overdoing it is against the code in the first place.

Hope this is helpful
