Cufflinks question.

what kind of range are you working with?

considering status as a student and limited budget, likely you'd be okay with something basic. i believe there have been a couple threads here suggesting analysts shouldn't typically look too flashy so you don't want to be too elaborate/noticeable/bright/etc
take a look at whatever place you get the rest of your clothes from (lots of places that sell nice shirts/suits carry links) or a decent department store will do for this situation.
you can always look forward to acquiring some flashier and more expensive links as you move up the ladder

Like ToBankOrNotToBank said; every place that sell shirts with french cuffs sell cufflinks. If your spending, get your ass to rodeo drive, if your saving, chinese knots are fine for students imo. And there are options for every level inbetween.

Don't wear cufflinks, tool

You can get ones for under $50 almost anywhere that look fine. Don't get Dollar Signs are anything finance related.

Look at like TJ Maxx or Marshals or something. You're in college, no one expects haute couture.

One thing I noticed this summer was that in my group only people at at VP/SVP level and up wore cufflinks. Most importantly, make sure that you fit into the culture of your group.

Better spend: custom tailored shirt/suit. Cufflinks as an undergrad interviewee looks pretentious. Nice fitting shirt does not.

I don't understand why cufflinks are so frowned upon...firstly, I think they're classy. Secondly, I think they look better because of the way the cuff fills out the jacket sleeve. Thirdly, from what I've seen and heard, pretty much everyone in London wears them.

Since when was looking good a bad thing? I can understand an analyst not needing Lobb's or a Brioni suit, but it's not like FC shirts are more expensive or cufflinks are so expensive.
