Laurens-Jan's Choice: Two Suits, Two Worlds

Laurens-Jan works at Optiver, one of the world's leading high-frequency trading and market making firms. In his role, everything revolves around client contact - meetings with institutional investors, dinners with traders, moments when millions of euros in decisions are made about futures and options.

In that world, trust is everything. And trust begins in those first three seconds when you enter a room.

We explain how they are constructed, what kind of look they create, and which styles or body types they suit best.
