I have to disagree. If wearing a suit, wearing a tie is de rigueur.
What business are you in where you feel that that’s the case?It’s not been true in banking for years.
Also, ridicule on Styleforum (I know, I know).

I wear business casual. However, am surprised about banking. Are we talking investment banking? I remember - mind you, am going back 16 years - when a friend's sister mentioned that when she turned up at her investment bank job one day wearing a pair of gold lame heels, her manager pulled her into his office and enquired, "Are you being deliberately subversive today?". Everyone in her investment bank wore dark suits, white shirts, dark ties, and black shoes. Always.

Yes, investment banking, and sixteen years ago business casual was the norm too, ties were pretty uncommon back then. Dress codes in the 2000s tended to go up and down with economic fortunes.Also, ridicule on Styleforum (I know, I know).
I still wear a suit, but most don’t, and no-one wears a tie un,was meeting a client. The only other time I wear one is if I’m letting someone go.
Thanks everyone for the help, I've just been offered the job!!
I went with the suit no tie as per the Bond look above for the informal meeting which turned in to an informal interview which I wasn't expecting so i'm glad I went with the advice here!
Formal interview I went fully suited and booted - black suit, light blue shirt and tie.
Thanks again, i'm bloody over the moon
