SA's who can't dress
re: Those of you looking for last minute suits
Personally I don't judge on attire/accessories too much as long as the sa/intern dresses decent, their suit/shirt/tie fit properly, all is clean, matching, they know how to put on a tie, no "MD shirts", no fake watches, no alligator-skin scarface shoes, etc.
I usually try to give them some pointers the first day at work if I see something that might lead to them getting shit in the future. If they bought their suit at mens wearhouse I personally dont give a shit, but that's just me
How nitpicky do you guys get when judging the attire of your SA's and Interns?

I don't have a job nor any SA
I don't have a job nor any SA stint but I'd like to say I dress myself well. I agree with you though. I don't care where you got your suit, how much you paid, but if it doesn't fit properly I'll think less of you than someone who is fitted properly. As far as accessorizing is concerned, if common sense and discretion isn't utilized, we have a problem.
The way I see it is if you're too lazy to get your clothes to fit properly, how do I know you aren't lazy about everything else since you obviously don't care about first impressions. And unless you're out of shape, please...please have slim fitting clothes, there's nothing more disheartening than seeing someone just swallowed up in pants 2 sizes too big.

Ideally, nobody gives your
Ideally, nobody gives your attire a second thought because you're dressed like a respectable normal dude. It really isn't terribly hard to wake up, walk into the closet, and arrange a decent wardrobe for the day. There are so many things in life we can't control, but of what we can, what we wear is certainly near the top of the list. If some people want to buck the trend and look like fucking idiots they are more than welcome.
No SA needs to go out and drop $800 on a suit when a properly fitted $300 suit accomplishes the exact same thing. Bottom line: Just make sure your shit fits and you don't look like a member of Maroon 5.

A lot of people are trying to dress to impress, but I feel it's about dressing yourself for cheap and impressing with your work. I don't want to be known for having nice clothes my mommy bought me, I want to be known for producing tight work.

I'm a little tired of the whole dandy look, I guess I give them credit for making the effort albeit a tad ridiculous. I barely want to fumble with my tie at 6am, let alone start coordinating pocket squares and cufflinks. IMO keep it simple and tailored, this isn't gq nor is it the salvation army.

When it comes to work I have learned that there is no place for any attempt at fashion/flamboyance whatsoever until your the boss and are 100% confident in your ability to pull something off.
For an intern its quite simple: Suit that fits, Blue/white shirt, tie in muted colour plain/striped, black oxford shoes (slip ons seem to be widely accepted in the states, no problem imo). No need for anything else...I dont care if the whole thing costs €150..THIS IS THE UNIFORM.
You would not turn up on the first day of military boot camp wearing Bermuda shorts and a "I rented this hooker" thsirt so dont turn up on day one of an internship wearing a skinny fit suit cropped at the ankles, a gold tie pin, and shoes so pointy they would take a spiders eye out. That really pisses me off.
