brown oxfords...
Black not brown. Gonna start in London
to throw shit at brown oxfords, word
you’re forgetting the Hublot mate
Hublot is probably the worst watch you could get for business.
I was planning on buying "iron free" shirts and doing them myself. I hated walking to the dryer during my free day, especially since it already closed at 10am.
I don't know if I am being excessive but I would get one more suit, couple more shirts, and especially one more pair of shoes. With 3 suits you can rotate one in the dry cleaners, extra shirts is great backup cause inevitably one or two will be ruined by something stupid, and just one pair of shoes is a recipe for stank.
You need more odd slacks, since you most likely won't be in a suit everyday. You should also pickup a sportjacket. Unless you mean business formal as in they actually mean it, then get three suits, two trousers for each, 4-5 more ties , 7-10 pairs of otc socks, and at least another pair of shoes.
Also I'd invest in higher quality suits but skimp on shirts for now, because they're white, you're young and sweaty, and you'll drip stuff on it at dinner/in the bar more frequently than you think you will.
Nope they mean 100% business formal (think of former Lehman dresscode). Why so many ties?
You can survive with three ties, but doubling that doesn't change the cost too much (eg. brooks was selling three ties for 99 or so, which is 3 for 1 under normal circumstances. Or just go on ebay if you know what to look for) yet opens up a lot more combinations. You don't want to end up being known as the kid who wears the same tie everyday. In this case I think having more options helps prevent you from standing out, which is the point of a conservative wardrobe for a new analyst. Also, giving each tie a week to "breathe" and unwrinkle helps keep things tidy.
Invest 1 one high quality tie, leave it at your desk.
At least two pairs of shoes is a must. Personally I’d get more shirts and perhaps one more suit. 3-4 ties. Also, don’t get a Hublot
Is it suit every day or business casual? Either way you need more pants and probably another pair of shoes.
ferragamo belt or no one will take you seriously
what about analyst 1 office essentials? an analyst told me he bought a tiny mini fridge that holds cans of Starbucks double shots, headphones, snacks, etc
