So I just received the detailed information for one of my next interviews. And it stated that the dress code is casual (i.e. suits are not required). This is weird and I feel really weirded by it. I don't know what I should do, I feel like I still want to wear a suit but then don't want to be the only one who wears one and then stand out. Anybody been in a similar situation???

I agree with you that it would be weird to go for a professional job interview in anything besides a suit. I am not sure I would feel very comfortable doing that either, and being confortable with how you are dressed is essential for doing well in an interview. I think wearing the slacks and shirt from your suit (and a tie if you're a guy) without the jacket could be a reasonable compromise. I'd probably still carry the suit jacket with me, just in case. You don't have to put it on if no one else is wearing one.
Thanks for the advice. Because when I read it I was like WTF!
i gave you a more detailed answer in the other place you posted it. i think i know which interview this is. don't wear a suit.
Since this question has been posted in another thread in this forum (in violation of the TOS), closing this one.
