Is the era of business attire in client meetings fading away? Letβs talk about the dress code in wealth management and banking in a world where casual Fridays are becoming casual daily. Has the shift to casual attire impacted the fine art of banking?
π΄ The Sartorial Shift:

π The Evolution of Banking Elegance:
Adapting to Times: While adapting to more casual trends, how do we maintain the essence of the βfine art of bankingβ?
Balancing Tradition with Modernity: Is there a middle ground where modern casual can meet the classic elegance that once defined the banking industry?
