Based on previous WSO threads, it's generally advisable for analysts to maintain a more conservative and professional appearance. While some MDs and associates might feel comfortable with two buttons undone, as an analyst, it's better to err on the side of formality. Keeping just one button undone is typically more appropriate and aligns with the expectation of not drawing attention to your outfit.
