Is my associate gay?
Ignore title. An1 at a lower BB. In a sweaty group where we have to wear suit and tie everyday. I've been getting good reviews so far, so everything is going well. Except for this one associate on my team. He's always hassling me about my suits. Like he'll make fun of me for them in front of VPs and shit. I'm FGLI, so I tend to be a thrifty guy. Since we're made to wear suits everyday, and I just can't stomach the idea of buying 5-6 expensive suits, I mostly wear department store suits (Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, etc.) Obviously they're not nice, tailored Italian suits, but they get the job done and look presentable. So can a mf get a break? I have one nice suit for important meetings, but I just don't understand why I'm being expected to put 700-1200 per suit for like a random Friday in the office where I'm barely even seeing my higher-ups. I'm just venting atp, but my God I could never imagine caring so much about another man's appearance. It's not like I'm coming in wearing a sparkly high school prom suit or something. Uptight ass mfs...
Best advice ive seen is to go to a good department store, try on suits till you know your size, then go online and buy used luxury suits like zegna.
oh you might be the goat for this one ty
Does FGLI mean fucking ugly?
😭first-gen, low income
I liked fucking ugly better…
Yeah sounds like your typical publicly-educated, no wealth/poor family dog.
Ultimately, these types of 'people' are pretty worthless anyway with no long term wealth; best move is to try and outmanoeuvre the insecure animal behind his back with other people/seniors in the team, playing on his insecurity and lack of self-worth.
I mean if you’re dressing like a slob yeah you probably deserve to get roasted. A little tailoring is dirt cheap.
seconding this. at the very least get them tailored
Take your next vacation to Vietnam. Tailor made suits there for $150, super high quality too.
Anywhere in SEA really!
Bro just get some good suits. You make enough money.
Hugo Boss from Saks / Nordstrom, with good tailoring used to work well for me. Should run you $300-400, but good quality for the price. Also, the random foreign run suit shops in NYC are decent. Still wear and get compliments on $200 suits I got during my intern years
Hugo Boss is the same quality as Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, etc. They simply just use the brand to charge 2x more. I think for that price point you'd be much better off going to like Suit Supply or something.
Just my 2 cents, but yes, your associate is gay and likely insecure.
This title wins best click bait award
Damn… I almost thought someone had the similar suspicion about my associate
It sounds like your associate’s comments are more about control or insecurity than anything else. Focus on wearing suits that are presentable and affordable. Tailoring department store or online suits can make them look sharp without spending thousands. Keep performing well and don’t let petty remarks affect you.
lol what kind of BB makes juniors wear a suit and tie every day?
