Killself
Just look like you are wearing business casual and you'll be fine. I'm not familiar enough with A&F to really say for certain it works, but make that discretionary call and you'll be set.
If by 24 you mean 16 and the office you mean the movie theater you sell popcorn at, you'll have to ask your superviser. Otherwise, you might want to drop off your things at the nearest Salvation Army.
I think the question you should be asking yourself is why you're 24 and still shopping at A&F.
Dude as long as we're not talking A&F hoodies or Ts you'll be fine. Their polos; fine, shirts, fine, plain jumpers; fine.... as long as it's relatively simple. Can't go wrong with classic banker cas / Ones, i.e. chinos blue shirt.
People above need to grow down. No need to be wearing J Crew or Brook Brothers uniform before you're 30. Perceptions of A&F may be different in Europe though...
No... especially not if it has logos.
Sorry Oreos but some of the above comments were funny. A&F is only cool when you'e 16 or younger.
Yea sounds like A&F is very much for the younger crowd in the US. We have our British equivalent Jack Wills which caters for the youngsters here..
Hahaha one of my VPs actually wore A&F SHIRTS to work... i mean i guess people care less on the trading floor but still........
Really guys?
I've seen associates here wearing flip-flops on the weekend. Your shops are really that stringent... on the weekend?
Everyone wears flip flops, shorts, whatever...that doesn't mean you dress like a 14 year old suburbanite. The indictment here is of the brand, not the casual dress.
A&F may be for the teens, but their jeans still fit really nicely.
Wow that's really impressive. How did you get a job in investment banking as an 8th grader? That's awesome!
