Can you wear black suits to work or not really anyone wears black anymore?





Dude, black is for funerals
Dude, black is for funerals and maybe weddings. Don't wear it to work. It just doesn't fit in a professional environment.
Other than that, you can basically wear any cheap half-decent suit. Doesn't need to cost more than $150, and unlike what some other people here are saying polyester is totally acceptable for junior bankers. In terms of color/pattern, I'd recommend grey striped, but anything reasonable goes, really (but not black).
How Many Different Suits Do you Wear a Week?
If you got to wear a suit 5 days a week, how many different ones would you wear? Like 2, 3, or 4?
just remember you can mix up
just remember you can mix up the tie and shirt.. so you don't really need more than two suits in my opinion.. IB isnt fashion
I get by with 3.

IB isnt a fashion show. fyi
IB isnt a fashion show. fyi - ive seen people wear black suits and ive seen people who never wear them. guess what? no one gives a crap. you get your work done and done correctly and thats all. quit worrying about fashion. seems like too many people here care about what they wear more than what they are doing..ridiculous.
black is fine as long as you
black is fine as long as you have a crisp tie, make sure its not too loud though.
i have 5, but only wear 3. i'm not into fashion or whatever, but i went shopping with ppl and this is what i bought when work started (low budget):
Dark Blue (YSL)
Black w/grey stripes (CK)
Dark Grey (Boss)
I just happen to have 5
I just happen to have 5 suits but mainly because three are hand-me-downs from my dad who got fat. Keep in mind if you are wearing suits 5 days a week you want to keep a rotation going because suit pants wear out fairly quickly.
