Hi all,
I'm going to be starting FT at a BB this summer and was trying to get my wardrobe situated. It's typically business casual and I was wondering do I need to get a blazer?

I've been having a hard time trying to find a solid Navy suit in my size so I thought I could go with a blazer but haven't found many conversations about this topic. At a business causal work place why is a navy blazer not a good idea? Do most people agree?I just got 2 suits but they are both pin striped, one navy and one charcoal, would that suffice?
2 suits is fine
Blazer is not suitable for office because it's for the country club, not business casual; if you're going business casual, there's no need to wear a jacket
If you can find a blazer in your size, you should be able to find a navy suit just as easily
seriously? no blazer for business casual? I do that all the time. I guess it depends on where you work.
Yeah, of course you can wear a blazer for business casual. That wasn't the question - it was, do I need to buy a blazer, which is definitely a no.
If you don't have one already, you won't need it. But if you are on a tight budget, you can get something decent for an analyst ar Brooks Brothers (on sale). And while you're at it, go for the silver buttons (as opposed to golden), you will save youtself a lot of troubles on the short term .
freak no
biz casual is a dress shirt with no tie and the sleeves rolled up and slacks
This shouldn't be that much of an issue. You can always take the blazer off, and it's definitely good to have as a safety, in case you get called into a meeting last minute.
