Well, it all depends on how much you can spend, how good you're in crafts and of course the level you (and the group you're in) want to reach.
Simple stuff most people can do theirselfs (sew a tunic), a focale etc. Next items I would get are a decent pair of caligae and a militairy belt. Then, at least, you can show a off-duty soldier. Some groups have loaner gear to start with, or even provide all gear. Others don't have anything of that and you have to get everything yourself.
Of course, if you're good at crafts, you can make everything yourself and get nice an customized kit. Off-the-shelf kit is easily available from several vendors, also some of which are located in the UK and most items are (by most groups) acceptable. However, discuss with your new group, as you will find they probably have rules for this.
Good luck and I hope you'll have a lot of fun!
