100% Current and up-to-date Trending Wall Street Fashion Guide

Hello!

I need some advice - fast. I'm moving into a portfolio role in China - I have been here for some time.

I consider myself fairly clued-up on general fashion but I'm sure that what I own NOW is NOT going to cut-it. Obviously the Chinese fashion IS different but I want to look like I walked out of Wall St and impress the natives.

Fuck, and I start in December. Just some added info: I was born after 1990; am 5' 11''; slim; brown hair.

What I'm most interested in, if anyone can help - is what's trending on WS right now? I remember gillets were in vogue a while back when Meryll kept the air-con down low. What's in now re: hair, eyeglasses, shirt/tie combos and general clothing advice.

My current ENTIRE work setup:

Please critique and butcher me and also offer some advice if possible.

Two custom-tailored suits (one navy pinstripe and one slate grey) and one Valentino blazer (navy)

NO decent alternative trousers i.e. chinos etc. apart some Zara modern suit-like trousers, also navy.

One RL cream shirt, two MUJI white shirts, one Uniqlo sky blue non-iron, one G2000 pink pinstripe, one Zara blue and white pinstripe (bankers collar) - some other shitty shirts.

Antique Bafta Awards cufflinks

One Hugo Boss mustard yellow tie; one Hermes red white and grey patterned tie, one inherited Garrick Club pink and blue bow-tie.

Zara black velvet tasseled loafers, black A Tesstoni (faux steel toe cap?) wingtips.

What do I do for socks?

One Bvlgari automatic diving watch, one digital watch w/ heart monitor.

Black Victorinox laptop bag. (considering buying a Mulberry briefcase-esque bag).

Oliver People's tortoise shell specs

Black Louis Vuitton wallet; MUJI transparent portable Rolodex; MUJI transparent business card holder.

Macbook Pro; Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Bluetooth portable keyboard

What's wrong and what's right?

I'd love to hear your opinions and comments and if anyone can suggest some necessities I haven't outlined. Money is not an object at the moment.

I want to look minimal and pragmatic while at the same time intimidatingly Paul Allen.

Is this even possible?

Thanks

Nakamoto

Too bad you got no value add comments. I am myself currently shopping for formals for my first job and do realize it takes a certain amount of effort to look prepared. I would invest in a third suit from zara or massimo if i were you. Also, the long collar or spread collar shirts are coming in, I am not fully sure if they are right for the workplace. You should look into getting a third suit thats a three piece as vests are coming trendy now.
