I think black suits are fine as long as you don't look like you're going to a funeral.
Some assholes might give you a hard time but most people understand interns might not have the budget to have different suits
Black suits are totally acceptable for women. Not the same rules as for men. Just put a white shirt underneath it
Black is acceptable for women. For men, don’t touch a black suit with a 10 ft pole — you’re not going to a funeral.
Maybe he wants to relive his prom, except this time he’ll be getting stuffed by an MD
For sure as a chick. Other than you might be hot in the summer sun.
Yes, you wear one to the funeral of your offer letter
You could but it is best avoided. It is probably fine as long as nobody is mistaking you for support staffers with an explicit dress code like security guards or limo drivers. Women are afforded more leeway with this than men.
Yeah it was a bit confusing at first, I remember growing up seeing a lot of movies and tv shows with black suits and white shirt for “businessmen”
But as an intern, even as a man, people will not be too harsh on you for wearing a well cut black suit and an appropriate tie color
Saw some interns wearing brown and beige suits.. wtf are these kids doing.. rather see black than that
Beige suits look great for the Miami office haha.
But yeah, honestly people are overestimating how bad a black suit is for an intern.
