Summer Internship dress code | IBD London
Hello Monkeys,
Wanted to ask you about dress code among interns/analyst at London's BBs and EBs. Is it more relaxed when compared to American offices (which are covered by most of the similar topics)?
Few things that are on my mind:
-
Suit: Is wearing a suit every day required, or are suit pants and shirt enough? If suit is required, does want need to wear a tie?
-
Shoes: What type of shoes should be okay? I know that Oxfords are acceptable, how about double strap monk shoes and penny loafers? Are brown shoes truly a no-go?
-
Fridays: Are jeans allowed on casual Fridays or under no circumstances should one consider putting them on?
-
Weekends: What would you wear for a weekend work at the office?
-
Facial hair: Is well-groomed facial hair acceptable among junior employees?
Lastly, how many sets (suits/suit pants and shirts, shoes) would you recommend buying before the internship?
Thank you for helping me to avoid rookie mistakes!
