Hi Guys,
Entirely new to this forum. I'm going to be graduating soon like some of the others on this board and I'll be working in strategic consulting in SF. Was looking into renting apartments and somehow came onto this forum. In any case, I read through some of the topics for suggestions and such; people going to NY for IB looking for suits.
My question is, I'm looking to basically build some workable wardrobe. I don't know if the suggestions given to the IB guys fit in consulting. We definitely don't make as much or work those crazy hours. When I interviewed and meet some of my future coworkers, most were wearing shirts, jackets, without ties for guys. So, I'm going to guess business casual is something that I'm looking for. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
It seems like everyone suggests quality over quantity, which I like because I like to wear those shirts and shoes that fit and look nice versus everything else.
I'm looking to buy some shirts, shoes, suits, and ties. I'm not particularly a fan of dressing up as I prefer jeans and sweaters, so I consider comfortable clothing a must. Wrinkle free and minimal ironing or dry cleaning is also something I would pay extra for.
I notice giving a price range is probably a good idea. So, I think I'm looking to spend around 1000 dollars. I know that might not seem a lot to some on the forum considering people talking about 800 dollar shoes and such, but for someone who has only bought 1 suit in my life, I think 1000 dollars is a lot. (Again, correct me if I'm way underestimating costs here).
As for my build, I"m 5'10 about 140. So, any help would be great. Also, if you happen to know great apartments in SF, that would be great too.
Thanks
