To Suit or Not to Suit

So which BB investment banks these days still have a formal dress policy with a suit/tie and which investment banks have a business casual policy? When you post, can you also post the location also because I know that will affect the dress policy. If anyone has Hong Kong information that would be greatly appreciated also!

For example, I know that Lehman Brothers is suit/tie worldwide, UBS in HK has a business casual policy, and JP Morgan in Chicago has a business casual policy.

DB is business casual and some groups take it to the extreme, especially on Fridays. No suit jackets or ties required and khakis are fine all week long.

--There are stupid questions, so think first.
 

i know that the BB's in Hong Kong tend to lean toward the conservative side with business formal dress codes. Can anyone tell me which BB's in Hong Kong has a business casual dress code?
