At Goldman, FICC/equities follow very similar dress codes (although FICC may be more "traditional" at the moment). For interns, suit & tie would be expected throughout your summer.
For employees, however, semi-formal attire would be appropriate on the trading floor. Keep a tie in your desk though and a blazer on your chair, just in case! Fridays are "casual" and most employees participate.

What is regarded as adequate wear for the trading floor, particularly a summer analyst.
Seer sucker suits on the first day is a must along with loafers.
if ur a girl, mini skirts and tight white see through wife-beaters with no bra. something revealing.
oh and i like high heels.
The world has changed. And we must change with it.
Hum...I really like the idea of that. I am in fact a female..
Does anyone have any real advice.
Don't let the game change you, change the game.
Same as anywhere else in a bank. On trading floors I've been on in banks its still business casual. But its not like hedge funds where tshirt and jeans are the uniform.
Agreed, business casual M-Th, but casual on Fridays, more often in the summer.
