I understand what business casual is, and my firm is pretty explicit in what is allowed v. what isn't. But i need help with what looks good. What kind of color or pattern should the dress shirts be? What color slacks? Etc etc.CyLaw wrote:I will be in DC and have been told by my firm that suits are neither expected nor encouraged. Thus, I'm thinking slacks and slim dress shirt with no tie.
Also I'm planning on having a navy suit with tie in my office just in case.
Ahh. My bad. I've never been known as fashionable, so I am keeping it safe with my wardrobe.Desert Fox wrote:I understand what business casual is, and my firm is pretty explicit in what is allowed v. what isn't.

I wanna not look like an idiot.
Suit in the office is a good idea though.
Don't waste your money now when you don't have any. Look at 4th year associates are wearing and mimick them.CyLaw wrote:Ahh. My bad.

Mostly have blue or white shirts, with one pink, one creme, and one white with light gray pin stripping. I got all them on deep sale at BB.
For pants, I mostly have pure black, but I am trying to replace those with gray (both light and dark) and navy blue.
What do people think about either dark green or brown pants?
Well, my wife works so I have her money.Anonymous User wrote: Don't waste your money now when you don't have any. Look at 4th year associates are wearing and mimick them.
+1. If you're worried about dressing up a dress shirt and slacks, you can always throw a sweater over it. Everyone knows adding a sweater makes any outfit extra classy.DallasCowboy wrote:I'm not a fan of wearing a tie without a jacket.

You should probably not study for it. I hear it's detrimental to your success to have a rigid and unbending code of ethics.desertlaw wrote:West coast office of BigLaw firm, that specifically said I don't need to wear a suit on the first day. But I'm assuming I'll want jacket+tie in case of meeting with clients/court. Should I bring that the first day or just wait until later in the week? Any other questions that I should ask to avoid studying for PR final?
This was under appreciated but excellent.Bronck wrote:The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in SF, amirite?sundance95 wrote:Gots to in SF, summer's mad chilly brostratocophic wrote:Just do sweater over dress shirt over undershirt in mid-July broJacky D. wrote:
