Take up cocaine, the clothes will come later trust me I know what I'm talking about. You'll start doing cocaine in elite business school networking events and everybody will be like dang that guy is successful. Boom you've now got your foot in the door. Look down at your foot, It's a fucking geology basket shoe but you failed to realize this because you're high out of your fucking mind. Boom. timeskip - 3 years have passed. you're now leonardo dicrapio with a hitler youth that would make any girl wet. boom you're now /fa/.

Keep in mind that you don't have to splooge all your money on clothes.

Try and look for less expensive (yet still decent enough quality) but still keeping with the fit and general ballpark style of what you see here.

No. I don't think you understand. There is a reason why we're called /fa/ggots. It's because the only way to be /fa/ is to either be gay aka. blowing dick, or doing blow. It's your call but I prefer the latter. When doing blow you're immersed into coke subculture. That means you'll make millions of dollars and become the homeless chic of wallstreet. Find my one person that does cocaine and isn't /fa/ as fuck. Now you listen here alright you come here asking for /fa/shion help and I'm a fucking professional doing this out of my own good will. Not only does doing cocaine help with your clothing it WILL help with your business etiquette. Prices, supply/demand, marketing, just by becoming a consumer of cocaine you'll be getting straight a's.

If you're going to try and pull off suspenders at a business school, you're probably going to end up more towards the 80's powerbroker look than the 40's look.

Think Gordon Gekko, Patrick Bateman, or Steve Castle.

What? A fitted suit with suspenders would look sharp and modern. To look 80s, he'd need a loud-patterned oversized suit with pleated pants. And suits from the 40s are just fundamentally different from today's.

I'm not really sure when you think you'll be wearing all this formal wear, but its not a daily thing... I go to an elite business school (undergrad), I work in finance, and nobody wears formal stuff unless
1. You're going to an info session/interview special/event
2. You're a wannabe loser who tries to make up for his shortcomings by dressing fancy. Just wear normal, albeit well fitted and decent clothes, and you'll be fine.

One thing I'd caution about >>8223674 is that you don't want to look too avant garde or techwear, ie wearing all black. From my experience, appearance is important and you never know whos watching. You may be effay wearing all black rick owens, but you'll get laughed out of school, its a pretty conservative dressed environment.

It's not a 1:1 comparison, but I'm in law school right now, and nobody dresses formally unless they have an interview that day or something. There's one guy in our class that dresses in a shirt and tie every day, and he comes off like a total fedora tipper. Just go look up the mfa #menswear basics and wear that. OCBD, flat front chinos, and CBDs. It's basic as fuck, but you'll accomplish your goal of looking presentable while not going so far as to come off as a sperglord to your classmates.

>> No.8223799

It's called an oxford.

It's the most basic kind of button up. When people say "business casual", THIS is the shirt they're talking about.

You can get alot of nice quality ones for cheap at Uniqlo, and there are a few in NYC.

Those are chinos, not jeans.

If you don't know what chinos are, they're more commonly refereed to as "khakis", but keep in mind that khaki is the color that is most often worn, not the type of pants.
