Now I look like I'm in my late 30s due to this condition, and a little bit of thinning at the top.
I want a new work wardrobe, so I'm looking for ideas. I work in a pretty relaxed office environment (dark jeans acceptable) but I still want to look good, and maybe more youthful if that makes sense. I bought a couple of chino pants, but I don't know what to pair them with and such. Ideally, if I could have about 10-12 work outfits I rotate, that would be fantastic. I have a few blazer jackets that are too fancy for our office environment, and I typically wear those to meetings with clients or conferences.
I guess I'm not looking to spend $1200 on shoes, but I'm also open to spending a little more than $120 on them to look good. Same for the rest of the wardrobe.

Dress shirts and Oxford shirts are great, but remember, fit is king. So make sure your chinos and shirts all fit properly. Another option for the summer is polo shirts. If your office is fairly casual, a polo shirt with chinos or jeans and white sneakers (something classic and simple like Adidas Stan Smiths) is a nice, "youthful" look.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Spend money on #1 shoes then #2 jackets. You can cut costs in other places if needed.
