New partner track role--need to dress "rich"

[Anonymous]

Groomed brows but not overdone microbladed brows.

Groomed sleek hair but not big waves or bayalage.

Basically, avoid anything that's too trendy.

MM LaFleur is for millenials who have more money than sense. Terrible quality (even though some designs are rather pretty).

Yep. Does any actual CEO or C-level wear that stuff? Seems to all be "boss babe" wannabe types on Instagram wearing it.

Not a lot of make up, good skin, start getting good Botox and get your teeth whitened.

"I work in Big 4 consulting in Finance, and let me tell you, the Director/Partner track women are not super well put together. Their personal lives are falling apart (men and women both) and their appearance is also slightly disheveled. Maybe its a different story at McKinsey or something, but if you're at the PWCs of the world you've nothing to worry about."

Same is true for Big Law and places like Bain, at least in D.C. I don't see much beyond Tory Burch shoes, LV Neverfills, and perhaps an occasional St John jacket. And I promise you, no man who will be making the decision to promote you is going to know the difference between Max Mara and JCrew.

I suggest you put a bit of money into leather. Buy some decent shoes - Cole Haan is fine. I like Stuart Weitzman and Taryn Rose. And a bag. Black. Good leather. No obviously designer label. Something in the $300-600 range is great.

I am late to the game, but have been watching VEEP. Selena Meyer character is always dressed simple, classic, never s "cut-out", lots of jackets over dresses. JL Dreyfus is tiny and she always pulls off this look.

Part of why JL Dreyfus pulls off this rich powerful look so well is because she was born into exactly that world.

So hilarious that you think "wear tailored clothes without advertising giant logos" = "wear tattered horseriding clothes."

You must face a lot of challenges in your life.

Just looked up The Fold London - done very nice pieces. Had not heard of brand before.

I was just being facetious over that previous shtshow thread where the horse ladies insisted anyone with real money never buys new clothes but only cares about horses. I can't quit DCUM but I also love the weirdo high WASP fantasy lives that people pretend to here.
