If yaint wearing Margiela, Simone Rocha, Rock Owens, or other labels in that sphere you should be fired from your bank

Clearly you have no idea of what fashion is and as such do not possess the requisite skills to make meaningful contributions to the projects or clients at hand. Study up on runway fashion and SEE the vision that Denma created with VETEMENTS in 2018

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:

  1. Fashion in the Workplace:

    • The "black shoes only" rule is outdated in the US. Pairing brown shoes with blue, navy, or gray suits is now acceptable and can enhance your look.
    • The US isn't particularly known for sartorial elegance, but understanding the basics of color matching can significantly improve your appearance.
  2. Practical Fashion Advice:

    • For those looking to build a business wardrobe on a budget, constantly scouring the internet for deals is essential. Websites dedicated to fashion often have good deals if you keep an eye out.
    • A guide titled "Dress Like a Baller for a Fraction of the Price" is available on Wall Street Oasis, which provides tips on how to look stylish without breaking the bank.
  3. Current Trends and Alternatives:

    • Rent the Runway offers a rental service for designer clothes, which can be a cost-effective way to wear high-end fashion without the hefty price tag. However, the demand for such services has been mediocre recently.
  4. Wardrobe Essentials for Men:

    • The Wardrobe Essentialist is a marketplace aimed at men who dislike shopping but want to look great. It targets 20-something men in the US transitioning into jobs with business casual or suit & tie dress codes.

Remember, while high fashion labels like Margiela, Simone Rocha, and Rick Owens are impressive, they are not a necessity for making meaningful contributions in a professional setting. Focus on looking polished and professional within your budget.

Maybe, but none of that shit is workwear. 

Margiela is cool but is casual and the other two are concept fashion brands that would look weird as hell anywhere but the runway or on Kanye. 

You aren't wearing any of that to the office. And you know that.

Ok, well there’s new Valentino which I’ve been really liking, VETEMENTS is a classic as well when it comes to Avant Garde wear. I6W9 is a Japanese take on the aesthetic as is Yohji Yamamoto. Burberry’s solid as well if you’re looking for Americana as is Louis Vuitton under Pharrell. And how could I forget my love Vivienne Westwood. Vivienne Westwood has hella versatility in a lot of wardrobes because of the label’s wider array of pieces. You can absolutely go Avant Garde with it or more Americana. Truth is, for every label you can follow Americana. Oh and Casablanca is like a better Ralph Lauren in my opinion. The story behind Casablanca and its designer is also pretty fucking cool too.

 

What are you talking about? I ain’t a slave to nothing, I just believe y’all’re slaves to mediocrity and in an industry like Finance mediocrity is death. M&A, nah twan yall needa get on that D&G.

 

ok yes I will now wear my kiko bindras and my vetements bridges hoodie in the office and also stomp on my other analysts with my rick glitter boots
