You probably should bring a small umbrella. Or, you can buy one on a street corner.
Make sure you bring comfortable shoes. We will do a lot of walking. It probably would be better to wear long
pants rather than shorts. I usually dress here in “business casual” plus tie. In NYC, I will skip the tie. Remember
that at the NYSE they require “business attire”: coats and ties for men, women dress accordingly. We will dress the
same at UBS and Bloomberg
You probably won’t go wrong using the follow definition of “Business Casual”:
▪ for women: A reasonable length skirt (not mini-skirt) or full-length trousers of a non-jeans material
combined with a top (such as a dress shirt, polo, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An informal dress
with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable.
▪ for men: A combination of collared shirt (such as a dress shirt or polo shirt), cotton trousers (such as khakis
or blue, green, brown, or black trousers) with a belt, and modest shoes (such as loafers) with socks is
generally acceptable.
▪ Unacceptable as Business Casual for either gender: gym clothes, rumpled or ripped clothing, miniskirts,
underwear as outerwear, inappropriately revealing attire such as bare midriffs, and flip-flops. Many
corporations also frown upon open-toed shoes and shorts.

On your own time, It’s up to you.
What to take in your wallet. Money. Credit cards. Your ID for airport and other uses. BUT. For every item in your
wallet, make a note of what it and all of the information you need if you lose it.
