Is buying a sports coat worth it as an analyst?
I have a couple suits, but no casual sports coat. I'm starting my analyst stint in a couple months and an wondering if I should get one. I have the money to buy a decent one, just don't know if I'll actually put it to use. My group is business casual and the only time I've seen anyone wear a sports coat (over their business causal outfit) is to meet with prospective/current clients. And even then, it's only half the time.
What do you guys think?
I don't not understand why white American middle class males think sports jackets are good attire in any situation.
Why do you not like them? A sports jacket is a nice way to dress up an otherwise casual outfit. If you live in the South, it's also a replacement for a suit in some situations.
I have different cultural values. I grew up in a country and class where we thought sports jackets were a look for people who wanted to look like Rodney Dangerfield.

Here is what I would do (and did myself when I first started): go to a store that sells suits and get your jacket measurement. Then, take a look through eBay for a lightly used sports jacket from a top brand (Canali, Hickey Freeman, Brioni, Oxxford, Zegna, etc.). I got a slightly used Hickey Freeman jacket for $90 that Nordstrom was selling for $600. You can then take the jacket to a tailor.
I'll do this too. Great idea.
MS? I tell you, I don't get no respect at all.
Sports Coats and Blazers are essential. Get more than one. It is essentially very nice business casual. I almost always wear one to work, with the exception of winter when I wear an overcoat.
Make sure you get them tailored (waist and sleeves). If this is your first one then I would just get a navy blazer. Outside of that have fun.
buy one. or don't. do whatever you want to do.
Ok so after establishing that buying a sport coat/blazer is a good idea, which should I get? Sport coat or Blazer?
