I like how Dallas/Houston get combined to just be Texas.

How did Milwaukee sneak onto the list ahead of Philly?

Because I am a tricksy hobbit.

Edit: I wonder if the second vote is real lol. Beating LA!

Over/under of pages devoted to whether to wear a suit on the first day?

Luckily my firm preempted this by sending out a well defined business casual dress code. Speaking of which, I'm trying to decide where to shop for work clothes now that I'm rich. I was thinking Banana Republic.

I copped some Jcrew pants on the cheap, but this is basically my strategy too.

Definitely wearing a suit first day doe.

I always figured it was suits unless otherwise specified on the first day, while slowly toning it down to what everybody else does.

My firm sent me a study break care package along with a gift card lol damn so the con begins.

I've gone way too crazy with clothes shopping the past semester. Accidentally ended up with 7 pairs of AEs from ebay and the shoebank...

Also, for future reference, Jomers.com is great for wool pants when they release them (their stuff is limited release and they sell out super quick). Their suits they just launched are equally great. You can sub to their email list or follow them on twitter to be notified when their stuff drops.

Btw, Allen Edmonds is having a great sale right now. 150 off Park Ave's among other deals.

So what you're saying is you lucked out by pleading ignorance.

Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and J Crew all have good clothes. Don't buy unless they're having sales though--they regularly do 50% off. Oh and Loft but I find it's not quite as good of quality. In terms of quality, I've personally found: Ann Taylor > J Crew > BR > Loft... but there are also some small style differences and price differences, with Loft being the cheapest usually.

Black is ugly. Get another shade of brown

Btw, Allen Edmonds is having a great sale right now. 150 off Park Ave's among other deals.

I saw 5th ave the other day on clearance for $200. As students, there's a student package where you can get the park aves (and a few others), a matching belt, and shoe trees for $350. This is always available so long as you've got a student ID.

Belt costs 100 shoe tree 10 I think

I always forget about that. Regardless, I'm a huge advocate of the ebay route.

For anyone interested on that route, see my post here (also linking to the reddit thread):

I feel like wearing $300+ on my feet will cause me to tip toe everywhere.

[Serett]

For the record, it's currently Fifth Avenues that are on sale, not Park Avenues. A number of belts are also on sale for $79, didn't pay much attention to which varieties.
