Most Prestigious Socks?
Hey again you monkeys! I was wondering where I could purchase the most prestigious socks. I already have my entire ensable down for HS prom (yes, i'm in HS might as well start early right?) which includes ferragamo loafers, my dad's rollie, a hermes tie, red suspenders, a blue shirt from Thomas Pink with a white collar and pin stripe pants from Turnbull & Asser. I was wondering what is the most prestigious socks to wear with my ferragamos though? I will use this outfit for banking interviews one day too since prestige is the most important thing to project from what I know.
Also let me know if any of those clothes are not prestigious so I can swap them fro something better.

You can't buy them. They are given to the top candidates at the end of each Merrill Lynch Wealth Management internship, which as we all know is the right of passage into high finance. If I were you, I would auction my ferragamos and hermes tie and use that money to open an account at your local ML branch. Open the account and then use that as leverage to force your financial advisor into giving you an internship. He might be perplexed as to why you would want to endlessly cold call the nursing home across the street, but you have the eyes on the big prize. The all coveted socks.
I think this is a solid question and it was about time someone started a discussion on this topic. I would say though that not just the brand but also the colour of the socks influence the prestige.
What color/brand combo is most prestigious? Money isn't an issue.
I once saw a guy with white kmart socks which blew my mind. I immediately bowed down before him. It was unreal.
I would do a google search for the most prestigous socks...
White Hanes socks. Make sure you take your shoes off and brandish the 'Hanes' logo found under the toes in the face of your interviewer for extra points.
What type of person has this much time to waste?
LOL @ Thomas Pink shirt.
Your ensemble seems to be coming along nicely, but may I suggest an alternative approach?
No socks. Go the hipster route. But make sure your pants are short enough so people know you aren't wearing socks or it will look funny. Also- your suit should be tight enough that any sudden movement will rip it at the seams. And either grow a very thick and well groomed beard, or a grungy, homeless looking beard. There is no alternative option, other than the obvious (mustache). To complete your outfit, I would suggest going to your local J-Crew and drastically overpaying for a denim bow tie.
Silly high schooler, since when is Thomas Pink any where near the label of "most prestigious" for shirts?
You guys are getting trolled by a retard just fine.
At the very least you can put it in "Monkey Around." Your distracting people from answering questions or learning legitimate information about IB. 9 Bannana chimp.
Sock Brands, Pros and Cons? (Originally Posted: 03/19/2012)
Really want to impress at my SA gig and would love opinions on what socks to wear. Currently trying to decide between Armani and Gucci socks; anyone familiar with these - pros/cons?

I mean the Gucci seems a little expensive but how's the quality of the fabric. Does it make your feet too hot in the summer? Which is most impressive? What's the best way to put them on?
Also heard Charles Tyrwhitt socks were pretty good, any thoughts?
you sure ppl will look at your socks?
This must be a troll thread, cmon man....
Kind of sensing the same type of sarcasm as in American Psycho...
troll? got me to laugh...
This is fucking hilarious.
Gucci for sure. Don't listen to anyone tell you this won't matter, this is a deal breaker.
Also, make sure to tuck your dress pants into your socks. Otherwise your interviewer may not notice. If you have the extra cash, wear a second pair of the Gucci socks on your hands. This will really help you stand out.
Haha! Caught me off guard, good one.
Beautiful silk tie > Gucci socks.
I always wear socks with the CFA logo, very exclusive.
When I was a kid, my dad bought me "Adibas" socks. Once I get a FT offer, I'll be able to buy "Adidas" socks. Can't wait for the real deal.
Are "Adibas" socks prestigious enough for SA?
