Shirt Color for Business Casual at Goldman

So I am going to be working at Goldman soon, and I am starting to accumulate clothes. I am going to be dressed in business casual mostly and was wondering what color you guys recommend for the dress shirts. I think I am going to be pretty conservative with the suits/ pants, going mostly charcoal and navy (maybe 1 pant/ suit that is dark grey). If I was wearing a suit / tie everyday, I would go mostly white / light blue shirts. But since I will just be in dress shirts and pants mostly, what color shirts do you recommend?

Are you not going to be wearing a tie? Why not? Business casual should be a tie, no jacket, esp. if you are an intern or junior person. White and blue is the way to go. Light pink if you've got the skin tone to pull it off is good for the summer.

A tie with no jacket? Is this prep school?

Which is why it is more complicated. If I had to wear a tie then it would be a no brainer, white / light blue shirts. Since there is no tie, white looks kinda dull and stupid I think.

 
 
seamlessftwSolid white, light blue, and pink. You don't need any other colors.

Pink? Haha my team would laugh at me for days and never let that down.

at the firm they wear only bright pink with yellow horizontal stripes. YOu also need to get G.S. stitched in on all of your shirts across the chest, kinda like the s in superman.

The G is in the heineken green, the S in the traditional GS blue.

If you wear that they will promote you to partner straight away.
