I was at a meeting the other day with fifteen male lawyers and financial analysts. Not one bangable guy in the bunch, and a fashion disaster. Ten of them were wearing button down shirts with their suits. Eight of those shirts were oxfords. Three of them were wearing loafers with suits, two penny, one tassel. Of twelve remaining pairs of shoes with actual laces, only 3 pair had leather soles. Several ties did not appear to be made of silk. I don't think there were any clip-ons.
Only two men got it all right (and one of them was a govt. fin. analyst). One of them actually wore a suit that was neither gray nor navy. I didn't like his cufflinks, but otherwise he did very well. The number should have been higher, as five of the men were from top tier NY based biglaw firms. They might have been dressing down, however, to fit in with the guvvies.
The women were even worse. I was the best-dressed one there, and that's saying a lot, as I was wearing my least favorite suit. I bought it in law school, and it's ... I can barely write this ... triacetate. You can't tell if you're not close up, as it's well made, but I know the truth. My shoes were killer, though.
