On winter weekdays, the Financial District’s underground maze is the perfect place for lunching Bay Streeters to flaunt their fashionable office wear, sans parka. Last Friday, in addition to plenty of power suits, we also spotted analysts and accountants taking advantage of casual dress codes in colourful accessories and slick blazer-and-jeans combos. Here, 15 of the most stylish outfits from the Path.
