Suit Style/Cut Opinions
Hi all! I am an incoming summer analyst at a BB (corporate banking) in London. Wondering what suit cut do you usually wear to work and what do you think is appropriate? I like deconstructed shoulders on a jacket and single pleat trousers. I think this type of Italian style suit looks best on me since it’s more casual ( I am only 21) and it is more comfy as well. E.g. of quality and reasonably priced brands offering this type of suit are: Natalino ( it is a brand founded a by former Bank of America trader) and Anglo Italian Company. Do you think this is appropriate to wear ( the likes of Litquidity tend to have a strong view on pleated trousers), or is it best to stick to a less “fashion” suit with a classic American style cut(e.g. more boxy) ?
Hi Stanley_Sachs, yes, I'm a bot, but I'm also good looking. Hopefully, these threads help you:

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
I think most analysts buy generic non-tailored suits off the rack, so they would not be in a position where they could decide much on the design of the suit. When that is said, I am having prepared some bespoke suits before I begin my FT stint in July. I got single-pleated trousers and peak lapels - probably not the most traditional, but a suit that fits and is constructed in a good manner looks a thousand times better and more professional than the opposite. You will also be more confident in good clothing which will positively affect your work product. I think you should follow your instinct, but try to follow the rules of thumb such as no pinstripes, no Gordon Gekko shirt etc
Thank you!
Agree with you on the importance of a good fitting suit.
And yes, no crazy slim/loose fit and no 80s gekko shirt or wolf of wall street pinstripe suit. Only navy or grey suit and white shirt.
