He should wear a suit, but no tie, and unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt.

I went on an interview where it was business casual attire (jacket, skirt...not matching). I think it was an out for the women who interviewed me.

Non white shirt, top button open, no tie. Dress slacks and sport coat, or just pants and jacket that doesn’t match.

no suit! the fact that they specified the attire for the interview means they do not want to see him in a suit. Well fitting slacks, an interesting shirt and a sport jacket, tie optional and only if it pulls it together.

If it's creative he will look weird showing up in a suit. I would say gray pants, navy jacket and a shirt with a pattern.

I'd skip the tie and maybe wear a colored shirt rather than a white shirt.

Hmm, if they specifically stated that the dress code is business casual, I would try to honor that in some way. Maybe slacks and a sports coat instead of a formal suit?

I like the advice in this article. https://www.thebalance.com/interview-outfits-for-men-2061090

Basically, a step down from the typical black or navy suit.

Wear a suit anyway.

My husband is going for an interview at a highly prestigious company and, normally he would not hesitate to wear a suit. However, the email preceding the interview (confirming location, time/date and other details) states that interview attire is business casual.
He does not want to screw this up, so what should he do? Wear a suit to look his best or follow the "dress code" and go business casual? It may help to know that he would definitely not be wearing a suit to work if he gets the position.
