How much to spend on SA attire?
I'm an incoming female SA who's spent ~$1500 on work attire including bag and shoes and I feel like I still don't have enough clothing for 2 weeks of different outfits (I don't want to wear the same thing so frequently that people notice nor wash things like twice a week). I feel bad because I basically spent my after-tax signing bonus on clothes. How much are other people spending?
I bought 4 suits and 6 dress shirts one for each day. Also bought 3 pairs of trousers to mix match with jacket. All round I prob spent like ~1000 USD.
I don’t think you should worry that much, you already spent a lot. And if you really feel you don’t have enough I’d try focusing more on quantity vs quality.
Realistically with 2 pairs of trousers and 3 shirts you should be fine.
I'm a guy but I've spent around $1300 and still need some things so I'm prob going to end up around $1500 as well.
Buy quality stuff for your SA so you don't have to re-buy everything when you start FT. Trust me, it saves you money in the long term. Don't buy cheap clothes that don't last. Buy what you would buy as if you were starting a first year analyst role. Plus, think about inflation. Ferragamo & similar brands raised their prices by 10% this year. You are better off buying them now than buying them next year when they raise prices another 10%.
Any good brands for man?
Where did y’all get your suits from?
Suitsupply
some of these threads make me laugh.
I've done a bell ringing in a $100 H&M suit (I've got a pretty standard build, so tailoring doesn't do much for me) I've got a dozen $15 Amazon basics button-downs. (Tythwitt also has decent sales from time to time, but never pay full price there.)
Well fitting and well pressed beat expensive any day. Except in shoes. No need to go expensive (Nasdaq uniform is a suit and ZeroGrand sneakers) but quality footwear is a must, especially here in NYC. I think my phone claims I walk about 7mi/day in my dress shoes.
What dress shoe brands do you recommend?
