Any advice on what to wear when you're going to a second visit to a firm? Is it still as formal (aka, suit) or can it be a little more casual? NYC v50 if that makes any difference.

not even worth thinking about. just wear a suit, its not hard.

Would be pretty awkwardly overdressed wearing a suit IMO. U have an offer already why would you want to out dress everyone there?

.

At the very least dress to match the dress code you saw when you interviewed there. But, I vote "suit" for sure.

its a nyc law firm. even if they are more business casual, a suit is by no means "awkwardly overdressed". its perfectly normal, and a guarantee that you will by no means feel awkwardly underdressed.

I wore a dress and a cardigan (NYC second look) and felt perfectly appropriate.

I'd prob go dress shirt no tie and slacks. But at the last second id prob chicken out and wear a suit.

You realize summers out dress everyone there too right? You look more out of place trying to fit in than just accepting the norms of being a law student without a FT job offer.

I would definitely wear a suit, but maybe with a slightly more interesting shirt and accessories than I probably interviewed in.

Suit and no tie seems like a good compromise.

For NYC biglaw, I'd go with a suit.

Suit no tie is a weird look, since it's not something you typically see. You seem biz cas, then some people in suits or with blazers, but I've never actually seen somebody go suit no tie, since at that point you might as well just wear the tie

Dress like the associates. If they wear a suit most days, then do the same. If the firm is biz casual, then grey slacks, blue button down or other long-sleeved shirt, blue blazer, no tie.

Suit. There will be plenty of time to adjust your wardrobe to that of the associates when you work there. For now, stick with what got you the offer in the first place. You'll never be overdressed in NYC biglaw with a suit, at least as a potential incoming summer associate.

Edit: The suit didn't "get you the offer," but I didn't know how else to word it. You know what I meant.

Suit no tie is never a good look lol. Just looks like you couldn't make up your mind on how to complete your outfit.
