How To Dress Like A Wall Street Baller Without Spending Cash Like One
Suits, under $650
Dress shirts, $60-$85
Why you need them: This goes without saying: You need something to wear to the office, and you may not want to spend $200 on something from say, Thomas Pink.
Where to get them: For a perfect fit we highly recommend our friends at Hugh and Crye, based in DC. Also SuitSupply.com and Lands' End Canvas have good stuff ranging from $56-$80.
Casual shirts, $45-$85
Why you need them: Dude, you can't wear a T-shirt everywhere.
Where to get them: This item's not too hard to find, but we especially love Frank and Oak for this. Everything's under $50 and they have a great selection, but you have to sign up and be member (which is free). There's also NewLook.com (out of the UK), which has a huge variety of styles, fabrics, and brands at low prices.
Blazers, under $200
Why you need them: Fine, wear the T-shirt, but for God's sake put a blazer over it.
Where to get them: We like the bigger retailers for this. Zara Men's will get you sorted out for $79-$189, Uniqlo's blazers start out even cheaper at $49.90.
Dress shoes and loafers, $150-$200
Why you need them: Wear them out or to the office. You're going to want to spend a little more on these because they're true staples. You're going to want to spend money on maintenance too. Get a shoe horn, find a shoe guy.
Where to get them: Two words — Massimo Dutti, lace ups, slip-ons — they've got you covered.
Ties (Bow-ties, pocket squares, etc.), under $30
Why you need them: You need some good silk ties for work. If you're really creative, throw in a bow tie for play, or maybe some knits. Whatever's your thing.
Where to get them: You've to to hit up The Knottery and The Tie Bar. The Tie Bar will even show you what's really good with a "matching suit" for ensure a good look.
Jeans, under $100.
Why you need them: The wide-leg bro jeans you ordered from your frat house won't cut it. Get something a little more sophisticated, and please get a dark rinse.
Where to get them: For all your pant needs, there is Bonobos. For something a little trendier, check out Onassis.
Cuff links, under $40
Why you need them: Hold your shirts together like a gentleman. You need gold and you need silver. If you're not into accessories, make them plain.
Where to get them: Perry Ellis has some classic cuff links for $40 and under.
Belts, under $40
Why you need them: Hold up your pants — BUT DO NOT mix colors. Brown shoes, brown belt, black shoes, black belt. Not hard, boys.
And don't get too flashy with your buckle. No one likes a show boat.
Where to get them: Again we have to go with Zara Men's on this one, but actually this isn't an item that's super hard to find at a decent price. Just make sure it's leather.
