Just get a 2-piece (matching!) single-breasted suit (grey/navy, typically), tie, shirt (probably white), black Oxford shoes. One thing I can advise is that: * Charles Tyrwhitt have a student discount...- trainee4u

Your response (or lack of one) needs to consider your best interests. For example: firm B is your dream firm and you would not consider working for firm A instead: just ignore the email, you've already communicated with firm A professionally about why you have declined, and there's no benefit...- trainee4u

It might be worth clarifying that it is likely to be called a "PGDL", but that PGDL and GDL are the same thing in theory - both were once the Common Professional Examination to allow qualification to both solicitor and barrister.
