Business Smart attire for Interview
Discussion
I normally dress formally, but on the invite it's been stipulated it must be 'Business Smart'.
Industry is Financial Services
Dark grey suit
White shirt
Blue tie with Windsor Knot
Black shoes and belt.
Dark brown Mac
Should work right?
I was about to dust down the Reebok shellsuit otherwise!

About right but brown shoes with a black belt?
Your tie knot doesn't matter.
Just be neat and tidy (have suit dry cleaned) and and ensure your tie is all the way to the top and tight, shirt well ironed, shoes clean and neat, no comedy socks or tie, trousers the right length (not hanging 2 inches above your shoes), clean nails and hair and trim up the nose and eat hair.

Don't forget: turn up 5 minutes early & check out the toilets. If they're unpleasant, walk away...
Also, use plenty of unscented deodorant - FFS, go easy on the Lynx!!! Smell of soap & toothpaste, not BO & cheap aftershave. Clothing: simple smart & no comedy socks/ties etc. & forget about jewellery...

Not sure if this is true or not, I've heard that shirts with a pocket are frowned upon in the banking sector.
Yes, shirts with no pocket, ideally no extra line of material by the buttons, neat cuff links, plain colour - white is safest, striped tie.Buy or borrow a good pen and small black notebook, if your watch is not appropriate borrow one that is, take a comb with you, give your self enough time to relax before you go into the meeting. I presume your meeting is in the City, take a tissue with you and dust off your shoes before you go in, read the front page and business pages of a good newspaper that morning.

Windsor looks good though.Your tie knot doesn't matter.
