How non-Texas? Throughout most of the south or southwest I think you could be ok. Would not wear boots to any firm north of Kansas City or east of Nashville, and even then I think it is questionable. Standing out during SA is generally a bad thing. Don't be the person who grew two inches on Friday because they wore boots.Dr. Nefario wrote:Cowboys boots with my bizcasual in a non-Texas market...discuss.

They're definitely not "cowboys boots" wherever you are.
Although, you could've been talking about these:

Suit Supply. Go there; way better construction, fit, and style than BB. You can get two of their $399 ones. Italian fabric, fully canvased (not glued like BB probably).Dr. Nefario wrote:Anyone know how the Brooks Brothers Summer Suit sale stacks up? 2 suits for $899 seems decent.

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2017
Brooks Brothers and SS are both good options and similarly priced. You may prefer SS's fit and style, but the construction of their suits absolutely is not "way better" than Brooks - both are half canvas and similar in construction. Can't really go wrong with either.clshopeful wrote:Suit Supply. Go there; way better construction, fit, and style than BB. You can get two of their $399 ones.

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2017
Department store outlets like Saks off have decent suits for a far better price. Usually have them for $199/suit. It can be hit or miss with the house labels, but if you look where it's made and the material, you can cop some that are half or full canvas w Italian wool.

AG or Seven or J Brand are all nice. I like AG Graduate the best, or one of their slimmer fits if you are on the taller/skinnier side. Go to Nordstrom or somewhere and get them, because a lot of times they will only come in one length so will need to be tailored.buckiguy_sucks wrote:crisis time folks i recently learned that fridays are more casual than business casual now i have to buy work appropriate jeans. is there a jeans equivalent of allen edmonds? am i going to get no offered for not having selvedge raw denim??

You're still a summer so you need to skirt the line between recognizing the dress environment while still dressing for success and looking like a real attorney.buckiguy_sucks wrote:crisis time folks i recently learned that fridays are more casual than business casual now i have to buy work appropriate jeans. is there a jeans equivalent of allen edmonds? am i going to get no offered for not having selvedge raw denim??

As a serious matter I'm not a slim dude, I own a pair of 511s and they're approaching skinny jean territory on me.

Jeans are a tough one for me in the office. I prefer like J Crew casual looking chinos. I guess with jeans one should stick with an extremey dark wash?buckiguy_sucks wrote:As a serious matter I'm not a slim dude, I own a pair of 511s and they're approaching skinny jean territory on me.

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2017
So can I do "business casual" with suit pants, a patterned button down, tie, and AE? Otherwise I'm gonna have to go buy long pants and I don't wanna. I have some Aldo shoes if AE is too formal. Have jeans but that seems too casual for me.

Definitely ditch the tie. (a) biz cas means no tie needed and (b) tie with no jacket is gross.PeanutsNJam wrote:So can I do "business casual" with suit pants, a patterned button down, tie, and AE?

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2017
Apparently, it's been a while since I've updated my work wardrobe. I'm at a loss of where to find a reasonably priced work dresses with a conservative hemline. I have nice legs and all but I want my dress to fall slightly above the knee, not mid-thigh. I can only find dresses that meet this requirement at Cos, Theory or Saks. I'm saving for a house so I can't go there. My price point is more Ann Taylor or JCrew but both places have let me down. Any ideas?

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2017
If you're in a hot city and will be needing to dry clean your pants multiple times, I'd advise against using suit pants. They may end up looking noticeably different from your jackets, which you probably don't want.PeanutsNJam wrote:So can I do "business casual" with suit pants, a patterned button down, tie, and AE?
