LA / West Coast MBB men: what do you wear to work? Joining LA office of MBB and would love your suggestions. Moving from east coast with the typical finance uniform of lulu abcs + dress shirts + vests but I don’t want to stick out.

Get rid of the lulu abcs those aren’t cool on the east coast either

Thanks. Definitely a bummer because they weren’t cheap and they don’t wrinkle, but at least I got good use out of them

Wait until you get some west coast answers or use the weather excuse for getting some new cloths and ask some of the guys in your office where they shop. Pull up some pictures from the office. But think... as you walk by first class at least half are MBB. What do you see? ( discount the attorneys, no one else wears suits)

It occurred to me there may be other threads. Do a search. Seems like every year. May before internships start and July/August before all the MBAs start that gets asked.

And congrats on your new job!

It’s funny because I definitely felt pressured into buying a couple in the first place when I started. Good to know

You guys are cooking me lol - I know this stuff is outdated, got it all ~6-7 yrs ago when I started. Figured now’s a good time to change given the move - would really appreciate suggestions from you younger guys in particular

Have been told suit supply is a good place to start but not sure if true

I recently bought a house (In my hometown), I am not staying there. It is currently on rent. I am getting Rent as 50% of the total Home loan EMI of that house. And it is equivalent to the rent that I am paying at my current location in another city.
