What to wear to a work happy hour?

Hey guys, I have a happy hour event in a few weeks at the boutique I will be starting at after graduation to meet the other analysts and get to know everyone at the firm. I was wondering what would be the appropriate attire for this type of event?

I was thinking I should wear a full suit (better safe than sorry) and ditch the jacket/tie if I am overdressed. Any thoughts?

 

how come you get these type of jobs and at the same time need an advice on what pants to wear?

You killed the Greece spread goes up, spread goes down, from Wall Street they all play like a freak, Goldman Sachs 'o beat.

Because IBD can't find enough smart people anymore

Absolutely yes! But also show off your "street" side with a Yankee hat worn indoors or something. Gotta give the impression you know the rules but want to skirt them as much as possible.

Why hasn't anyone recommended the red suspenders with golden dollar signs on them?

Please, please as a general message to WSO users (by users I am referring to those who may not have very much/any experience in the industry) to stop overthinking what to wear, its really quite simple, your suits are used for every occasion, simply remove elements to more laid back the event. For example, business casual happy hour, arrive with jacket and tie, and ditch the tie if no one else has one. Casual drinks in a bar definitely loose the tie (some like to loose the jacket, I don't) Invited up to some hot chicks apartment, loose every stitch.,

Just blend in, and everything will go smoothly. Trust me standing out as a result of what you wear can be a very bad thing.

One very important point through - no skinny ties and ALWAYS ALWAYS use a full Windsor knot
