bought like 5 different pairs of louis raphael (wtf lol) dress pants at a nordstrom rack (lol) for $29.99 a pair. they are flat front and slim fit but not wool (some polyester blend).

i almost got some ben sherman slim fit pants but they were like $130 per pair. i figure i'll drop the big bucks when (knock on wood) i start full time. i feel like my body and style trends will most likely change after a year anyways.

will i be outed as a total prole this summer at my firm? i got some decent shirts (hugo boss slim fit, BB slim fit, and similar), and some allen edmonds kicks. so i shouldn't look like a total maxxanista hopefully.

the pants sound like they are reasonably in style so keep them, you should have at least 5 pants shirts and ties, preferably more, and at least 2 suits with at least 1 dark one for evening. Burgundy wingtips and black brogued cap toes for shoes.

the key is to have enough variety so people don't notice you wearing the same thing all the time. Sounds like you got some jo bank quality items, but it is better than wearing the same thing 2x every week

It's smart. I bought baller suits and shoes and then showed up and realized everyone (even the top-partners) at my V50 wore rubber sole shoes and $200 suits. I'd love to have my money back on the expensive shit. Now I only wear Rack/TJ Max type shit, and no one knows the difference. I do buy some Brooks Bros suits at their after christmas sale for about $200/suit, which is what I wear for court appearances and client meatings. I did have that tailored though because none of it fit right.

Take those $30 pants and get them altered to fit you better. Altered $30 pants >>>>>>>>>> unaltered $1,000 pants

OP, most PARTNERS wear ill-fitting clothes. If you have your break proper, crotch fitting properly, wear the waist at the right place (waist, not hips), and for any suit, have waist suppression done, arms shortened to have 1/2" shirt cuff extending beyond, then you will look awesome, even in a $150 banana republic suit.
