You see all different levels of dress. Some people are in teeshirts and sneakers, others are in suits. Generally if you put together a thoughtful outfit you are fine. As a man I usually dress well with nice sweaters and slacks and a button down underneath and I am often one of the better dressed. I see some women wearing nice jeans and a teeshirt with a sweater over top; that is typical. I see other women dress to a higher standard and that is also fine.
Tbh it’s more about the confidence you show up with. Your work speaks for itself.

TLDR; whatever makes you feel confident will be a great choice. You’ll never be called out for being too causal

Dress for your day. Given the leadership in the office consider the perception you want to give.

Dress as your day is the motto . If you have client meetings or meetings with leadership dress in a nice jacket and suit type otherwise a nice top with simple pants is good . Jeans and sneakers if you don’t plan to meet anyone 😄

You’ll see Google-like and 1950-like. Follow your heart. But business casual is the safe play.

I’ve seen sweatpants and tee shirt

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
