LA / West Coast Banking Fashion
Hey all, incoming SA at an LA BB. Was wondering what the general LA Banking dress code is and what I should be expected to have for the summer and hopefully full time. Know the culture is different from NY, but everyone is obviously not just wearing loafers. I was thinking white and blue dress shirts, mix of navy, black and gray pants, and a few vests. Are captoe derbys ok instead of captoe oxfords? Also curious if it's ok to wear LuLulemon / Rhone pants. Any recommendations on watches would be appreciated as well. Insights on SF would be great too for reference.

Thanks!
Just don't show up like the MoCo LA guys...
lol heard they're analysts are t shirt, sweater, and jeans type of guys. Assuming their interns dressed better though
I'm based in SF but from what I know most interns in LA wear slacks/dress shirts (no suit and tie). Just bring a suit with you on day one and leave it at your cubicle. Both captoe derbys and oxfords are fine (as far as I know), but stick to darker colors if possible. Vests are optional - if you find the office cold you can def wear one, but not everyone does.
Would recommend just emailing one of the analyst that you've interacted with from the firm/desk assuming you went through a group placement process that involved some networking. Would assume things are more lax than NYC but things very firm to firm and group to group within a single firm.
