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’m a going to agree with you, I’ve worked at a big 4 accounting firms and the women who are either Partners or Directors look a bit dish shoveled. Not all but a lot do. I’m use to seeing partners with a JCrew out fit neat hair but when it comes to shoes it’s more sensible with a nice leather bag.

The women who tend to dress up more are in marketing , hr (going to include recruiting with HR), internal accounting and executive assistants tend to be better dressed than some of the Partners or Directors.


I see exactly the same thing at my company. The marketing, HR, internal accounting (e.g., AP and AR), types dress better than the Partner/Director/VP types.

Study your bosses, my boss was passed over b/c he refused to wear a suit, and he was brought along by his boss to take the job.

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.


I think they are kidding.

And three is a “millionaire next door” set that you’d never guess have money.

Speaking of this, where do you ladies get good Botox? I want under eye fillers. I need names.


Careful here- fillers are not botox- very different! So ask for filler recommendations. What area?

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.

I find that Theory runs very narrow. I have narrow shoulders and have difficulty finding blazers that fit well and don't make me look boxy and wear almost exclusively Theory.

This. Reiss is good for that look too. Armani has nice work clothes as well. My fav is Carlyle though.


I like Tahari but it’s just personally good for me with my looks and body type. Also good quality.

Absolutely not!! MM La Fleur is 100% not partner track clothing - it's polyester, for god's sake!
