[QUOTE=N9IWP]  
Similar situation: I have in interview tomorrow and was told specifically (I did not ask, I was prepared to wear suit & tie) “Business casual attire is fine for  
the interview”. . I’m thinking dress pants, shoes & shirt - maybe a sweater.  
But no tie / jacket.

does this sound OK?

Like I said before- "dress pants, shoes & shirt " is fine. But get a nice sportscoat. Wear it in, and if you’re overdressed- take it off. OK to leave the tie behind.
