Female Attire for IB Summer Analyst
I just accepted an offer for IB summer analyst at a bank in the coming summer and would like some advice on female attire that would be suitable for the position. Have tried to search for "female attire" on the forum but nothing came up.
Just some background information:
- I'm 1.6m, barely entering the healthy BMI
- Some relatively casual-formal top/white long-sleeve button-shirt and jeans/work pants for internships. I have a dark-blue blazer and flats as well.
- I'm not used to wearing dresses/skirts as my friend suggested, but I am willing to try for the next few months just to get used to it.
- Do not have a work bag/hand bag
- Don't use make-up or perfume
The main problem is that I can't really tell what is formal/suitable for the role and probably have to start from scratch (if make-up is advised, shirts/dresses, pants/skirts, watch, bag, shoes).
I'm not very well-to-do but would like to at least dress-up minimally well and spend directly on necessary attire. Would really appreciate if there are any advice/ what your colleagues have been wearing!
Thank you!
You need a Birkin or you'll be looked down upon by the rich women in your bank.
High heels are a must as clients don't want to see a 1.6m child-person working on their deals.
You need a man's sized watch (46mm) or you risk offending the watch purists/hardos who think women-sized watches are a monstrosity.
A black (not charcoal) blazer signifies you're as serious as an undertaker, which is necessary since the sexist men in your office thinks you're there to fool around.
That's all for now, I'll reply with more advice once I consult my (numerous) female friends (who are very attractive) who also work in IBD (top BB/EB).
@waspofoxbridge You try to be funny but you fail. You cockhead cretin, imbecile
Congrats on the 1.6mn net worth, huge accomplishment
