Banker wardrobe: where to get a Gordon Gekko style shirt?

A bit of a random question but not sure where to post this: I'm starting my job in investment banking soon and I want to get a Gordon Gekko style shirt:

So basically a blue shirt with a white collar. I've been looking around the major department stores/suit stores and have had difficulty in locating a place where I can get one (or at least one that fits me- slim fit but with a large collar).

Does anyone have any ideas?

You will look like a douche if you actually pull this off.

That's for me to worry about. Now does anyone have any real input as to where I can get this?

You can get a two tone shirt from any good shirt retailer - MOSS, TM Lewin, Savile Row etc, though they will be harder to find than a standard plain shirt.

Though tbh most people in banking wear a white shirt every day, or failing that light blue or light pink. Wearing a two tone shirt is not a big deal, ofc as long as you dont act like a pompous ass**** when doing so.

Would also advise you dont have more than 1 two tone shirt though, and if you do, get a blue one (pink two tone makes you look like a circus tent).

To pull off the 'Gekko' style shirt without looking like a fool on the trade floor you need to choose more of a baby blue shirt so the contrast isn't so sharp.

I recommend this shirt from Thomas Pink which I own myself:

When buying shirts for banking avoid budget shirt makers such as Charles Tyrwhitt or TM Lewin. Don't buy shirts with front pockets on. Stick to different shades of pink and blue (don't go too dark on the blue, you will look like you work in IT support). In terms of patterns stick to stripes but nothing too loud and keep your shirt collars semi-cutaway or cutaway.

What's wrong with CT/ TM? I think you'll find the former pretty common at the analyst level - nothing wrong with them at all.

CT is acceptable at analyst level, however I would completely avoid TM Lewin. Have you ever owned a shirt from TM? Abysmal quality in every aspect: look, durability and feel. If your financial situation allows go for Thomas Pink, it strikes a good balance between cheaper brands such as CT and top shirt makers such as Emma Willis. Most shirts from pink go for about £90 and will feel, look and last longer than a shirt from TM or CT.

It really isn't that bad, I've owned shirts from TM Lewin in the past and they can be completely fine, there is hardly a world of difference between the two, though I now stick with CT. Wearing CT/TM is normal, I would rather be seen in any of my 4 white shirts for £100 at a bank than that blue contrast you sent in the above message from Thomas Pink.

You're doing your AS Levels, I really don't think you need to be spending more than £40 on a shirt, let alone £90...
