Hi All,
I was wondering if brown shows are okay with gray suit and semi causal shirt (small checks) for networking with bankers (grabbing coffee or drink). I will be in NY for training and that is the dress code for the firm I am training with and I wont have too much time to change so I am wondering if the outfit I described above is appropriate.

If you are fine with people thinking you work in the back office, then yes it is appropriate.

Brown Shoes and IDB (Originally Posted: 01/12/2017)
I saw this article and wanted to know if it's true that you can't wear brown shoes to IBD work in the USA lol https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-31/u-k-banks-attacked-f…
I'm also wondering about brown blazers.
It depends on the bank, the city and the group. Traditionally this was a grey or blue suit with a white or blue shirt and black shoes industry. Some are getting more casual.
My roommate over the summer was at a top boutique in NYC and never deviated from this advice. I believe there were a few in his group that were able to show a bit of pizzazz (different shoes, colored socks and a pocket square for instance) but you'd better nail the look or you'll come off as a jackass (this is true for anywhere, really).
