Shoes: Make sure you have a two pair minimum. One brown, one black.

Belt: Same, maqke sure you have one brown and one black

If your work is not a "suit and tie" kind of place, then get yourself a few pair of Dockers. Also, Men's Warehouse has great deals on sharp looking slacks. Also, get a few Polo shirts and a few button ups.

Make sure to accessorize appropriately, i.e. Black belt with black shoes, brown with brown, etc.....also, it would be nice to have a non-leather watch. Meaning, get a decent silver watch that would look good with both brown and black.

These are only the basics. If you want more, I can go into sport coats, suits, Navy stuff, ties, etc.....

Also, always wear undershirts!

Excellent points. Also, if you have trouble coordinating your wardrobe, such as which pants with which shirt, stick with basic colors and solids. I work in a business casual environment and I have 1 pair of black dockers, 1 pair of blue, 1 pair of kakhi, 1 pair - olive, 1 pair - stone, and 1 pair - gray. Polo shirts I have - black, dark grey, light grey, dark blue, white, red, forest green, as well as a couple with a solid chest stripe. I have all solid color dress shirts ( blue, grey, white, black, light blue, french blue). I also have a few solid color sweaters and sweater vests and that's pretty extensive as far as I'm concerned.

Of course outside of work - dressy is a whole different thing.
