First day at an MM in the south is coming up, what should I wear? Full suit? Dress shirt + Chinos? I get the whole idea of wearing a suit on the first day to play it safe, but I’m also worried about potentially looking like a dweeb right off the bat (I know, it’s silly).

Day one - suit and tie, always. Gauge the room, monkey see monkey do thereafter based on the prevailing dress code around you (likely unfashionable). However, there is a case to be made in dressing for your next job. Never be afraid to dress the part for fear of not being “one of the boizz”. Start looking like a banker and you’ll start feeling like a banker, and soon … you might just start acting like one.
Good luck!
Sound advice, appreciate the help!
I would do this too. Look around early on in the day and if you are way over dressed just ditch the tie. The feeling of being under dressed is far worse than being over dressed in my opinion.
Good point, being overdressed is a whole lot better than looking plain stupid. Thanks!
Three piece charcoal suit, a tie from one of your more reputable clubs, black oxfords, pocket watch, signet ring, and a copy of the financial times. Treat those wearing Patagonia kindly…
Would the Motley Fool suffice?
Permissible if it is a Friday.
I’m going to need something other than the Financial Times that will work for a Monday, sir.
