Some of the aforementioned brands (I'm particularly talking about Charles Tyrwhitt) mostly sell shirts with FRENCH CUFFS. At the same time, however, people wear business casual at the office (=no tie/jacket).
Thus, how do you wear a Charles Tyrwhitt shirt for work? A shirt with cufflinks and without a tie looks just WRONG.... you either wear a nice shirt w/cufflinks WITH A SUIT (i.e., a tie and a jacket), or just don't wear it and go for a button cuff shirt. I don't have anything against cufflinks, but combining business casual with cufflinks looks and sounds bad. THOMAS PINK, on the other hand, has a wide variety of button cuff shirts.
Any thoughts?
Good point mrvau, I'm not sure about that. What brand shirts do people wear if the dress is business casual? I don't think most analysts have a closet full of PINK shirts.
where are you finding these shirts on sale?
The problem with Charles Tyrwhitt is not the price. You can find them on sale a few times a year (like right now) and stock up 10 shirts for $500-700 (which shouldn't be a problem for your IB analyst salary). The problem is that 90% of Charles Tyrwhitt dress shirts have French cuffs and, as I said before, you're not going to do that for the office because it looks weird and wrong.
Given the supremacy of 'baby blue' in banking, you could get a few of these

I'd like to have more variety, though.
Is the clothing offered by Jos A. Bank good enough to wear for a summer internship at a business casual Investment bank
It probably is good enough but it doesn't seem like the best deal to me if you can buy a British type shirt for around the same price or a little more, why would you buy Jos A Bank?
What the fuck is a British type shirt, banker88?
