<p>In essence, the whole summer becomes the interview. All it takes is one senior partner to say ‘heck no’ for whatever reason. And do you want to take that chance over your dress code?</p>
<p>There is a rule of thumb in Dress for Success: dress for the job you want (senior partner), not the job you have (groveling grad student). Of course that doesn’t mean that you have to wear custom tailored suits, but I can guarantee you that no partner has a suit made out of polyester. Heck, I’d be willing to bet that the Administrative Assistants don’t wear poly.</p>
<p>But agree with the others, if the dress code is business casual…</p>
