WSO Suit Drive #1: Sponsor Indochino - LAST DAY!

You earned a 4.0, you’re the president of the finance club and networked your butt off. Or, if you’re like me, you had to cold call every boutique investment bank in the city before an MD listened. Finally, you have an interview. You’ve read every finance interview guide and can answer even the most advanced technical questions. But wait…what are you going to wear?

First impressions matter. Wall Street Oasis and Indochino want you to look the part. Indochino is a premium modern designer and manufacturer specializing in menswear. Unlike designer suits from department stores such as Neiman Marcus, all Indochino suits are custom made to fit your body perfectly, no tailor required. Indochino has generously sponsored the first WSO Suit Drive and will provide the winner a suit. The full catalogue can be viewed here.

How do you win? It’s easy. Write us a brief essay (500 words max) on why you need and deserve a suit. We want to know your story. Started a business, gave back to the community, or accomplished something else exceptional? Tell us! All current undergraduate students are eligible. We will publishing the best stories in this thread but can only choose 1 winner (we can make stories anonymous by request).

Don’t know what shirt or tie to wear with your new suit on the big day? Indochino's Stylist has kindly volunteered to provide fashion advice to the winner if needed (don’t be shy!).

It would be a shame to have a new suit and only use it for work. Work hard, play harder with us. The winner will also receive a free ticket for the WSO Conference in New York on July 21, 2012.

All submissions must be made to [email protected] by March 4 2012 from your College email. We are not judging applicants by their school. We just want to confirm you’re a student.

No no no, I was joking that I was going to write a troll essay as part of the contest.
