Associate Consultant Attire in NYC
I have read a few threads discussing the standard work attire in MBB and how it is generally pretty business casual, but many of them caveat their answers with "if you're not in the NYC office." Well, I will be in the NYC office for one of the MBB firms and I was wondering 1). What shoes do people recommend? Have seen recommendations for AE Park Aves and the sort, but these seem pretty formal. 2). Given NYC is cold af this time of year, should I invest in a jacket for warmth (sacrificing some style) or do you think I should choose something more formal? Any recs if so? 3). For pants, I really like the LuLu Commission pants, but should I invest in something a bit more formal for everyday wear?
I know things are very project/group dependent, but I would rather be able to pick up some of the essentials before I start so that I'm not scrambling. Thanks in advance!!
Also make sure you have a suit -- may need to wear depending on your client (if you end up at suit-heavy clients you'll probably want to pick up a second and/or some extra pants)
Thanks! And in terms of sacrificing style I just meant that like a Patagonia puffer jacket (for example) is functional, but not necessarily formal
Yeah that'd be totally fine
For what it's worth, MBB firms dress very casually, especially on Fridays. I've seen BAs (post-undergrads) wear low-key sneakers (e.g., all black - no fancy colors) to the office with a simple white/blue dress shirt and jeans and be perfectly fine.
you can go ahead and just wear khakis/whatever slacks you want, j crew button downs, and cole haan oxfords. by week 2 you'll probably swap the pants for jeans and the shoes for tennis shoes when you're not at the client, because most people do.
Business casual. Khakis and a button down shirt tucked in are the norm for the weekdays. Friday’s a lot of people do jeans and a polo in summer or jeans and a sweater in winter.
