Polo Ralph Lauren always works. 

Peter Millar makes nice polos for golf. They look fine in an office setting. 

Oddly enough too, don't sleep on Lululemon.

Get the gaudy large logo Ralph Lauren shirts haha

Extra points if you wear 2-3 at once and pop the collars.

too conservative. you need the Echo ones,

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Can’t go wrong with a slim fit Polo Ralph Lauren or Milan fit Brooks Brothers. Of course don’t get a polo shirt with the big ass logos and numbers slapped on them.

Yeah nothing says adventurous and unique like The Gap

The main thing that Gap is good at is jeans.  You can get a decent button down shirt but it is not going to be the quality as Banana Republic, which would cost 2-3x the price as ones at the Gap

 

As much as you might want to wear one don't. Just because something is allowed doesn't mean you should do it. Be professional and wear a shirt. You'll stand out and it'll pay off. 

Keep casual wear outside the office.

I can't remember the last time I wore a suit to work. I think if someone asked me to I'd literally laugh out loud.

A polo is a shirt.

If you're in good shape, Charles Tyrwhitt makes some nice form fitting polos with no logo. I love those personally. They have nice sales fairly often.
