I was looking at purchasing a suit that I could use for interviews as well as working. Is this suit dark enough?

For my IBD internship this summer, is there a dress code I should follow? I like suits so am gonna pick some up but am thinking wearing a 3 piece and getting one with peak lapels. Also for shoes gonna pick up some gucci or ferragamo sleds cause fuck it lmao. Will it hurt my chances of getting a...

Will 3 suits (1 black and 2 blue) be enough to go through my first year in banking? Or maybe should I get 4 or 5?

Curious about this because I feel that MTM would be really nice, especially since I'm located near a physical store and can go there to get better measurements instead of filling out a form online. A different argument i've heard is that its better to buy off the rack with better quality then get it...

What are your thoughts on Suit Supply? Do you like their suits? If you own a set, which fit did you go with?

Hi, I'm a rising sophmore at a T2 (think Dartmouth, Penn CAS etc.) target with a high GPA. I have a part time internship this summer, and will be going through recruiting over the next two years presumably. I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there some sort of reasonable checklist for what...

24 May 2019

I recently got an interview for a summer internship at a PWM company, and so I assume I'll need a suit, for that, and hopefully the job if I end up getting it. I looked on Saks Off Fifth, and from what I can tell based on the pictures, their house brand suits seem to look okay, however, while they...

Tried ordering a suit from Combat Gent over the summer. They said they were backordered and then stopped responding to my emails. My bank refunded my credit card charge, but looks like the company is defunct. Stay away.

Hi Monkeys, Today, Men's Wearhouse is doing 60% off on their clearance suits, which luckily happens to include a few from Joseph Abboud. I've picked out two suits that are $140-- charcoal and navy-- that are relatively safe choices for interviewing in, or for first or second year analysts. (maybe...

So I realize that plain solid suits and low key pinstripes are considered to be the best options in banking, but if you already have those covered is a subtle windowpane like the one shown here acceptable? https://goo.gl/images/4RcJ6E Ok or inappropriate?

As a poor student I'm starting to find out how difficult it is to get a decent looking dress wardrobe without breaking the bank. Today came across some decent sales and thought I'd let you all know incase there are others in the same situation... Brooks Brothers outlet is having a 2 for $500 suit...

Hey everyone...first off I'd really like to add the disclaimer that I am well aware that this post looks terrible and however much it may seem like a humble brag, that's REALLY not my intent. I've been looking to add another suit to my wardrobe for B-school, and I've been having the same problem...

In the need of a few more suits ... have seen a lot of hype about Indochino. 1. How do these suits compare to ... brooksbrothers or Jos A Banks? - Quality and Fit wise? 2. Has anyone ordered them online? Apparently they walk you through how to do the measurements, you plug them online, then the send...

Does anyone know the dates of the big department stores (Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, Saks 5th Ave, etc.) annual or semi-annual sales? I know most of them have them once or twice a year, so was wondering when I can stock up my wardrobe for the year.

13 Oct 2014

I'm looking to pick up a two to three good quality and reasonably priced suits. Not looking to buy entry level suits, but also don't want to overpay solely for a name brand (e.g. BB). I don't need anything super flashy but want to find trim suits that fit well. Brooks Brothers is currently offering...

I am a recent graduate with only 2 suits which I currently alternate on a day-to-day basis. I want to buy at least 1 more suit - and am looking for an inexpensive, quality option. What is a good suit label for recent a graduate?? Thanks in advance.

Curious about the board's thoughts on this AE Clifton Walnut with this grey suit. I've always heard light brown and darker grey don't go well, but I like this combo. this and this

Hi guys, really looking for some good advice on suits. I am skinny and 5'11'' and the only suits that fit me are slim fit suits. I bought the slim fit version of hugo boss (Hugo by hugo boss) in two colors, charcoal and navy. They have been great but the navy one is now over one year old and does...

Title pretty much says it all. I came across some websites that offer both brands at prices substantially lower than retail and was wondering if there a huge gap in the quality of the suits because the prices are really different. The website has retail prices for Hickey Freemen at about $1500 and...

Dear WSO Please could some of you post an image of what exactly a charcoal suit should look like. I live in rubbish South Africa where it is next to impossible to get a decent wool suit. Also, I've seen about 5 different "charcoals" here in wool so please help a brother out. Also I have no idea what...

I'm interested in this suit: http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/PoloGSI/s7-1032301_alternate2?wid=2000&… as you can see, it has a very subtle plaid pattern. Is this fine for the office or should I go for something solid?

Get ready for transparency in banking to reach a whole new level if this Dutch design team has their way. Studio Rooseagaarde (any relation to @KevinRoose?) is creating what it believes is the avant garde in banker attire: a suit that becomes invisible when a banker is lying. The suit utilizes...

Are these shiny wool-silk suits that are navy and pinstriped ever appropriate for interviews such as hedge fund, trading firm, S&T desk? What about for a startup fund manager?

18 Dec 2013

What do you guys think?

03 Dec 2013

There is a presentation at my university where we have to brief decision makers of a company about a competitive intelligence requirement they gave us in August. The attire guidelines specifically states "no pinstripe suits". Why single out pinstripe suits? I was planning on wearing a 3 piece...

I'm a Junior currently pursing a summer analyst position at a BB. Was wondering if you guys might be willing to post the items you found necessary working in banking as an intern. Both the quantity of certain items (dress shirts, suits, ties, etc.) and the type (color/brand) that are appropriate...

I needed a new navy suit a couple of days ago. Given the time constraints I had to buy in, I bought off-the-rack from Men's Warehouse and had the jacket and paints altered a bit to ensure a good fit. For a suit, a white shirt, a blue shirt, some socks, a belt and eventually a pair of black Joseph...

As financial professionals, most of us have to wear some variation of The Suit and Tie to work every day. Most of us live in large cities and either walk or rely on public transportation for the daily commute. And while we spend the vast majority of our waking lives in fluorescent-lit,...

re: Those of you looking for last minute suits Personally I don't judge on attire/accessories too much as long as the sa/intern dresses decent, their suit/shirt/tie fit properly, all is clean, matching, they know how to put on a tie, no "MD shirts", no fake watches, no alligator-skin scarface shoes,...

We are obviously going to make more money than we ever had made as soon as the summer starts. For those of us that already have some sorts of savings, what do you materialistic people suggest spending money on - in preparation for the long hours we will be working? Could be nominal objects such as...

I'm trying to decide between three different coloured suits. I currently only have a charcoal one and I'd like to expand the collection to three (over the course of a few months) but I'm wondering which one would be the next safest option to choose for the time being. Pics: Gray Navy Sharkskin

In the next couple weeks, I will be in the market to pick up a completely new wardrobe. Does anyone know of any big deals going on in the next few weeks that I should wait for?

Hello, Any women on this board have suggestions on suits which aren't wool but are stylish and well fitting. I'm allergic to wool and always find the non wool suits to look very summery or poor quality. Thanks in advance!

so how will it go down? will they get louis's vote? does hardman have some crazy trick up his sleeve that he'll pull last minute? [SPOILER ALERT] to be honest, i'm pretty devastated about mike's grandma. like genuinely upset.

So for all you SAs who went for custom suits from places like Indochino, how did they work out? Would you do it again?

I've been interviewing with a few PE firms, and found one that seemed like a good fit, had a round of interviews on Friday. They say "we'll tell you next steps next week." I travel Monday - Thursday, and am thus packed to go Sunday night. Client is business casual, and without thinking, that's what...

Could someone suggest a tailor in London for alterations to suits etc..? Preferably somewhere with a less old english style and more modern continental cut. Cheers guys!

I'm about 6"4 and always have a hard time finding decent fitting suits, specifically the jacket length. I wear about a 37" shirt and even an Extra-Long jacket falls woefully short of my wrists. Very rarely is there enough fabric in the sleeves to let out to a sufficient length. Do any of you tall...

Just looking online at the nordstrom sale and I found a John Varvatos suit and I personally have little to no knowledge in regards to what determines if a suit is worth the price. Any input would be appreciated. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/john-varvatos-star-us…
