Incoming IBD SA/FT at MS in their NY Office. Was wondering what the attire is in the office? This summer many interns didn't get to go into the office especially in a normal environment. Have heard is pretty formal with many guys wearing full suits and have heard there is some casual attire as well. Would really appreciate any insight.

Not to hijack thread, but also interested for JPM NY
Wtf is with these questions.
Wear a suit the first day and see why everyone else wears.
Day 2 copy what others wear.
Wear a suit? I would rather ask around than show up looking like a dweeb on my first day
Dweeb? Lol ok.
No one is going to think badly if you wear a suit first day. And you can easily slip off your jack and tie, so you’re only wearing a white dress shirt and nice pants.
I’m sure everyone at the office is going to be watching the first years like a hawk to see who the dweebs are.
Pack a vest in your bag.
Incredibly idiotic statement.
You can't be overdressed on day 1 of an internship. Being underdressed is incredibly stupid and leaves a bad first impression.
Grow up dweeb.
bankinthetank when ur interview happens? u wear suit to interview at MS office ok? tell me how 2 dcf
bankinthetank when you coming??
Reported for spam.
Also curious for UBS NY
MS IBD analyst here. Echo what was said before. Suit first day - can quickly ditch a tie if someone says something. Each group is a bit different - some rock ties everyday while some don't. You'll get a sense of what to wear going forward after first day.
What about Menlo?
I think I will wear a hoodie, crocs and a durag based on the comments above as I believe it will be appropriate although it may err on the "casual" side. As previously discussed , my friends in MBBs on the west coast have recently taken the liberty to wear polos and chinos even though their official dress code is suits. I believe the dress code for MBB and IBD is very similar
Ight bro time for a new joke
Navy suit, white shirt, classic tie, black shoes/belt, and make sure it all fits reasonably well. You literally cannot lose. Absolutely no one will fault you for showing up to a BB dressed like a professional. See what full time folks wear, ask around, and dress accordingly for the remainder of your internship. Common sense here fellas.
I recently bought the Men's GrandPrø Topspin Sneakers from Cole Haan. I wanted to opt for a white sneaker since black leather is hot. You think it's appropriate?
Speedos
Currently a VP at MS NYC, the culture is very casual most of the time people just show up in jeans and a t-shirt or a hoodie. Definitely not a suit and tie/buttoned down shirt type of office. I’d recommend you come in dressed down and casual on your first day
Why not ask HR and do exactly what they tell you to do
