I‘m an intern and I’ve got a presentation with a few senior leaders for the end of my internship... any tips on what to wear? So far my team wears t-shirts/casual wear for WFH but I feel like I should look nicer for this. Don’t wanna get laughed at if I show up in a suit and they’re in t-shirts though.

Never hurts to be overdressed. It shows you are serious and value their time. It will be appreciated.
On the other hand...if you are dressed causally, it can be interpreted as you are not serious.

For sure! Leaning towards a simple dress shirt rn. Thanks!

I feel a nice but not too formal dress shirt is risk free

Gotcha! Thanks!

is it in person? if so, suit no tie is a good look that can be further dressed down with the shoes.

if zoom, i think it would look extremely funny to wear a suit jacket or even a blazer when you aren’t leaving the house... especially in the summer. if you can control the temperature, what do you need a jacket for?

fwiw, i recently had a zoom interview and wore a shirt and tie. dark patterned tie, slate blue shirt. i thought it was a more realistic appearance, since the only function of a tie is to add formality.

Webex or Zoom? I did a few of these recently. We notice and think, “well, they’re taking it seriously” when someone is wearing dress clothes. Including a tie. You won’t get negative points not dressing up. You will get positive ones for doing so.

Tbh, no body wears a suit these days. I’d suggest you to wear a formal shirt and you’ll still look appropriate for your meeting. Good luck!

I think the comments here are all good; the only thing to add is regionalist. I think SC1 had a good comment especially if you have people that deal with the London City/Banking set. Suit/no tie for men works well; perhaps the women here would have some comments. I ask because I have mentees that are undergrads and I expect the topic will be coming up for me. Thoughts?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
