Looking more professional, a fashion thread

Jared,

Banana Republic is significantly higher quality than Old Navy/Gap, they are different price/quality lines all owned by the same parent company.

I'm in general a fan of solid/plain stuff, but like to have some colors and designs/stripes mixed in from time to time.

Go to a Macy's or Nordstrom and check out what they have. You'll find some things there that are not way out, but still can liven up your wardrobe a bit.

For pants, again, those stores will have plenty, as will a Banana Republic. I prefer pants a little lighter (fabric, not color - most of the pants I wear are grey or black) than dockers or similar khakis.

http://www.revolveclothing.com/ is a good place to check out a bunch of designers that have some more creative/edgy stuff to mix up your style a bit.

In general, though, I'd recommend starting with a trip to someplace like Macy's to start with.
