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

| I have just accepted a partner track role in finance consulting and I would like to pull together an easy but very polished and almost "rich" looking wardrobe. I am thinking of just going for a uniform that's a bit centered around silk blouses, pencil skirts, wool turtle necks, and trousers. I don't want to go out and buy status clothes (I am not getting an LV bag for example) but I want to project ease around money. Does that make sense? What's that look? I have been v inspired by the clothes in season two of Succession. How do I achieve this look? |

| Nordstrom personal shopper can help you put together a basic wardrobe. |

But in a previous thread I learned that rich people only wear tattered sweaters and jeans they wear to much out horse stalls. Sometimes Old Navy - tailored! - if they need to dress up.

| Get a personal shopper appt at Nordstrom and tell them you want a work uniform comprised of what you listed here. Then buy five of them. |

| Agnona and Prada. Many Italian brands are good with well made, but understated. |

| If you like the Succesion look, I hope you are tall enough to pull off those wide-leg pants. |

| MM LaFleur is also very good at this. |

| The look is the uniform you describe, but well tailored. Natural materials. Invest in shoes and great jacket/coats. |

| Yes, the "power" look. I am also trying to project that. Will follow this thread. |

No. All synthetic, and of declining quality. |

I'm not a fan of LaFleur. I think a lot of it looks cheap on people--all those synthetics and draping/ruching.
I agree with the Nordstrom shopper rec, plus making sure each piece is tailored. |

| Make sure you have a smart hair cut and get it done regularly. You can have the best clothes but if you don’t keep up your hair it shows you aren’t really on the ball. |
