What do interns wear?
Starting as a back office intern for a financial services company in Dallas this summer, curious to see what I should add to my wardrobe considering pretty much all I have are a few polos and a suit or two.

Assuming you’re a guy, you’ll need 3 full suits wouldn’t reccomend more until you decide if you want to stay in the field, 2 ties, and 2 pairs of nice shoes but they don’t have to be pricey. Usually you’ll wear suits or suit pants + white shirts.
Who wears ties, even more so in BO??
Thank god you are not my VP - please ignore this guy.
Intern, you need 1 suit, 1 tie, 5 shirts, 3 pairs of slacks and 1 pair of black shoes with 1 black belt. This should get you through the summer. Once you start full-time, you can splurge on whatever you want to wear.
Dress shirt and slacks. Wear a suit on your first day to play it safe and adjust accordingly
