biz cazsh @ gs nyc?
i know, i know--use the search function blah blah. but the answers are scattered, as well as old.
need a no bs description of what business casual should mean for an associate at a bb in nyc. fo but not client-facing
own zero dress clothes other than the suit in which i interviewed and need to build an entire wardrobe asap
collar: point or button-down? i prefer the b-d look with no tie but is that a faux paux?
pants: charc, navy, dk brown? what about something like light grey or light brown? black? also: wool slacks only? nothing more casual than that?
shoes: lace ups a la AE park avs? any chance to mix it up here?
10 shirts, 5 pants, 3 pairs of shoes? is that enough pieces to create enough different outfits to not look like a total goon?
kthx
if you're on a tight budget (from the look of things you are), rather get 1 pair of nice shoes than 3 pairs of average ones. Suits: no browns, go with black and dark blue or dark gray. Shirts should be some whites and a mix of shades of blue. Dont wear pink, dont where md shirts.
switch up 5 pairs of pants to 3 suits; 1 black, 1 dark blue, 1 gray and you will be fine.
business casual basically means you dont have to wear a tie, and can walk around without a jacket on at all times. So you still need suits.
Completely disagree with getting a black suit, I'd rather see someone in grey. Besides that navy and charcoal. Also, pink shirts are fine as long as they aren't overpowering
wear a black suit if you REALLY want to look like: -an intern -an idiot -a mormon missionary
faux pas*
Button down collars are for accountants
And prep schoolers.
button down collar is fine with no tie. Sticklers about such things would say BD collar is not fine with a tie unless you want to look like a 5th grader starting prep school. Point collar is fine either way.
Do not buy a black suit unless you are going to be buried, or bury someone else.
How have you reached the age of an associate with no clothing?
