Please don’t wear polyester Lululemon pants with boots.
I don’t. That is a much better look (for those that can pull it off). Boots should be worn with real fabric (wool, denim, etc.). There is something bizarre about polyester athleisure pants with ostrich Tecovas. But FWIW I think Lululemon pants look bad with anything other than sneakers
Nope! Many corporate associates and partners in my office wear jeans and nice t-shirts with sneakers.
Close enough
At least for Houston, it largely depends on the firm and practice area. In my experience:
Litigation = more formal
Corporate = less formal
National firms = less formal
TX historic firms (including those that have merged with national firms in the last decade) = more formal
If you are practicing litigation at a TX historic firm, expect it to be very formal with suit and tie daily.
Oddly enough, I think NYC is less formal for my firm and clients are certainly less formal in NYC than Houston. When I meet with PE clients in NYC, they are often pretty casual. For example, wearing a Barbour jacket or vest, dress shirt, Lululemon ABC type pants and sneakers. I don’t think I could get away with sneakers in Houston.

I’ve heard V&E is formal in all offices and Weil is formal in Dallas but my office follows what A5 alludes to.

I wear quarter zips and chinos with a t shirt underneath
Abcs fine. Would typically wear a button down (can be a patterned slightly more casual one)
I looked at those abc pants before because they were recommended. Aren’t they like $100/pair? Maybe I’m way out of touch but that seems like a lot for what they are
Have some self respect and don’t buy plastic pants
Lolz did not know lululemon even made pants for guys. Clearly I'm very plugged in to the fashion scene. Slacks and a button down for me in Houston.
