Go to office shoes?

To say the investment banking world has changed since I began this journey as a senior in high school would be an understatement. A time when the only acceptable shoe for an analyst was a black cap toe Oxford - not a derby, derby’s are a clear give away you’re a no target who bought “oxfords” from macys.

Two questions:

1) what is your go to office shoe?

(Consulting guys please do not chime in, I do not care what you guys wear to your “jobs”)

2) is it acceptable for a top bucket size lord managing analyst to wear Gucci loafers in 2022?

(The travesty is that when people wear Gucci Jordan’s now they buy the gold buckle. Not as a mistake because they didn’t know any better, but because it’s all there is)

 

I wear black cap toe AEs. Will sometimes wear 1953 or gamo loafers.

Gucci has fallen off a cliff with all the snakes and bees. I’m not particularly fond of their Jordaan either.

 

They aren’t overly casual IMO. Also depends on how judgmental your seniors are. I prefer to see people in those rather than sneakers.
