Still attended the AC lol because I needed the train reimbursed, but ended up taking my tie and jacket off and unbuttoning my shirt because I could barely breathe, was sweating profusely and felt sick. I was mortified and definitely looked an absolute state, but still got the offer! So I definitely think people overestimate the importance of your appearance. Though it is still important, if you do meet all the benchmarks you will not be rejected for not wearing a tie you know? (top US firms may vary).Still though, be on the safe side and go for business dress for an AC and the first day of a vac scheme. Full suit for men, full suit or similarly smart dress/skirt/blouse etc for women. Another anecdote, I had an insight scheme last year at a firm's regional office that I know to be super super chill. It was bang in the middle of summer and hit like 34 degrees or something so I opted for a polo shirt and trousers on day 1. Was promptly told to be more professionally dressed for the rest of the scheme 🥲 (the rest of the team was in sundresses and t-shirts)</blockquote>
