<p>Umm… find an outlet…
Suit + shoes + tie can run you about $300 if you’re thrifty.</p>
<p>Geoffrey beene is a good brand to consider, they make “intern” decent quality clothes. But if you’re going out for banking, my recommendation is to look for something a bit more expensive, ie suit budget should be around $400-500. About $800-1000 total for everything.</p>
<p>You should have a week’s worth of business casual clothes and atleast 2 suits prior to junior summer. When looking for shirts, always-always buy “two” ply(something not see through), I made that mistake a while back and now its hurting my wallet.</p>

<p>Get black… everyone at UCLA wears black… and i’m sure at many of the top targets. Then get a broad range of ties… something that will match the company colors that you’re going out for…</p>
<p>Your best bet is to begin changing your wardrobe and start dressing like you’re going to the country club… you’ll save a ton of money in the long run if you change now… because if you’re going into finance/banking, you’re gonna eventually dress like you’re going to the country club.</p>
