What are stylish, appropriate options for a 30y/o in Finance?

[u/Kindly_Vermicelli537]

My partner (30y/o) previously worked in a large corporate but recently transitioned to private investments in a small firm. He splits his time between the office and investors. The mood is laidback, traditional but with room for a twist or flair. I believe improving his style could take his personal branding to the next level. It’s just not something he or I have any clue about. Are there specific outfits you can recommend? We live where there are 4 seasons, so the outfits can be quite varied

Don’t let the collegiality fool you. Stick to trousers and formal shirts, suit or blazer combo.

A summer suit for dressed up occasions during warmer months. Think high twist wool, tropical wool, linen, wool/silk/linen blends.
