I have a PWM internship at a BB coming up this summer. I'm wondering what the dress code should be. Most of the formal clothes I have are from jcrew and are colorful, striped shirts and colorful fratty ties. I'm assuming these are not appropriate?
A friend told me that I should basically have two outfits. One should be solid white shirt, solid blue tie, and blue plants and the other should be solid white shirt, black solid tie, and black pants. Is this correct or can I be a little more free
You should ask your BB's HR
by ejk702You should ask your BB's HR for a copy of their dress code policies.
I thought the dress code at
by FreeMarketer331I thought the dress code at all BB's was business casual (shirt, no tie) other than for client meetings or special events? Is any unit typically expected to wear a suit and tie M-F?

by DaCarezSomeone was telling me that at their PWM job, M-Th are shirt + tie (no suit), and Friday is normal business casual.
Depends on the bb but always
by LAWMDepends on the bb but always business professional -shirt + slacks + tie. If you have clients coming in at random times, everybody needs to look in shape. It would also depend on your seating location. You don't want to be the center of attention when a clients visit.
No. Dress code is dependent
by FriedsNo. Dress code is dependent upon division. I know IBD groups that are business casual 5 days a week and I know IBD groups that are suit and tie 5 days a week, so there is no standard, just what the division head wants. My group is suit/tie 5 days a week outside of the summer, where it's suit/tie four days a week.
That said, during the summer I would say to expect that you will be wearing shirt and tie on Monday through Thursday and shirt, no tie on Friday. If you really want to make sure you're dressed properly, bring a tie on that first Friday and follow everyone else's lead or if there are interns there when you get there (the guys that manage to get a spring/summer internship), get consensus from them on what the right attire is.
Dress code varies by bank,
by MonkeyToBe88Dress code varies by bank, division and group within division. Dress code may also vary by day (e.g. "casual fridays" may be days to dress down, while client meeting days may be days to dress up). The best thing to do to get a general sense of dress code would be to call HR and ask. In general, it is much better to "overdress" than to "underdress" as you can always take a tie or jacket off and to be conservative in your choice of attire.
