Here at BankersBall we believe — nay we LIVE — the idea of “dretthin for succeth” . But a Forbes article makes us question D.T.S., who we are, and our very existence. (sob)

A JPMorgan candidate that scored an interview couldn’t put together a clean outfit. Says a JPMorgan recruiter, “‘I met with a guy just the other day, and he had an incredible resume but a white shirt with a coffee stain. All I did was stare at the shirt–I wasn’t even listening to what he was saying.’”

And it’s not just the clueless interviewees. Apparently you can get to VP level and still be a terrible dresser. Reports an anonymous Goldman Sachs associate: “‘I saw my boss wearing a pair of white socks with dress shoes in the office the other day …I thought, ‘Why would anyone put something like that together and think it looks OK?’ I’m no fashionista, but that’s just wrong.’”

So who wants to rat out the white sock wearer?
