I was recently accepted to a top 10 MBA program and I will be going next year. Although things may change, my current plan is to recruit for investment banking.
Could anyone provide some guidance on what I should be looking at as far as a wardrobe for recruiting events, interviews, etc.?
My current thoughts were:
* 3 suits - 1 navy solid, 1 charcoal solid, 1 charcoal pinstripe
* 12-15 different dress shirts (I already have a solid collection of Tyrwhitt, Pink, a few bespoke ones)
* 5-8 different ties (again, already have several)
* I already have one pair of Allen Edmonds Park Avenues in black + 3 pairs of Ferragamo loafers. Do I need any more lace-ups?
I need to start on the suits from scratch. Most of the ones that I have do not fit very well.
What should I be budgeting for suits? I was thinking the highest I would need to go is Hickey Freeman or bespoke from mytailor? I don't want to go down to Jos A Bank, but I also don't want to go up to a Zegna. Any other suggestions?
Any advice would be appreciated -- especially from people who are in investment banking / top MBA programs. My budget is really only about $2000-3000 for new clothes, as I really think I have a fair amount of good stuff already that I can mix/match.
