If you can't decide what shoes to wear (and have to post anonymously about it), you probably aren't cut out for a career where you will be advising clients.

I love that this is tucked in the midst of an inane discussion about shoes.

Mad rush for bankruptcy practice groups?

Now soliciting poll ideas.

This one has leveled off in terms of responses. I'll screen cap it and put it in the OP.

I've seen lots of boomer partners in ill-fitting suits rocking BDCs with ties and everything, oblivious to common sense or decency.

They were the norm at my SA if you weren't wearing a tie.

That's a good thought, but I was hoping for something less binary. We'll do the corp/lit one after the next one.

i thought about it, but then also thought about the collective groan it could elicit. I suppose it couldn't hurt.

The only type that possibly wouldn't be in truly formal business-casual are casual OCBD's. But if they're actual dress shirts, (e.g., this) they're totally fine. Just don't wear a tie with them unless you want to look like a goober.

New poll.

Went with suiting up. The dead horse that has been beaten is the debate around it. I'm curious to see what everyone's actually committing to.
