Hi, I have an upcoming off-cycle internship at a top 5 private equity firm (one of Blackstone, KKR, Carlyle, Apollo so super formal attire required). My previous internships were all during summer so i mostly just wore blouse/shirt + pencil skirt +blazer or dress + blazer.
Q1: I am just wondering what should you wear on the way to work/ at the office in new york winter? I was thinking if i could just wear same clothes as summer in the office and wear an extremely warm coat and uggs on the way and change shoes at the office? Or do people wear some sort of winter office wear like sweater, boots (professional not uggs of course) at the office?
Aside from that is there any brand you suggest that has cute blazer, skirt and blouses you would suggest? it is extremely difficult to find small suits. I am not 'petite' in terms of height and shoulder width so for example typical petite clothes (e.g. Brooke brothers) petite 0 is too short on arm length but otherwise still slight loose; however, normal size 0 is too big, same goes for smallest size in J crew. The only brand mostly work is theory size 00 and hugo boss 0 after slight tailor. I really don't like when the blazer is too big cause i feel like wearing my mom's clothes and playing dress up.
Q2: So do you have any brand you would suggest which size that runs small or with more fitted style blazer?
Q3: Any suggestions on brands that have cute good quality silk blouse that does not cost a fortune (A lot of silk blouses would cost like 400+), i was hopping to find top that's around 100-300 range. Is there any brand specialize in blouses?
Thanks!
