Button down, slacks, and lace ups or loafers. If it's cold add a vest or a sweater on top. If it's warm roll the sleeves up or wear a polo instead. Jeans sometimes. Sneakers rarely.

At a Big Four in London it was 'business casual' (i.e everything in a normal suit except the tie) in the office, then upgrading to normal business wear (i.e suit and tie) when meeting clients.

Later worked at a small IB where it was required you wear a tie and be clean shaven.

Now I'm in a more relaxed place, but frankly I like the clean shaven tie wearing look so I keep to that of my own accord.

 

dress shirt, khakis or grey/black slacks and oxfords if no client meetings. Vests and sweaters optional. Summer Fridays you can push it and wear a company branded golf polo. Client meetings are normally a suit sans tie. I work for a large AM firm in HQ.

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.
