Hi there,  I assume the interview is in person? If you have a white dress shirt, then it's ok for the other stuff to be blue. Don't worry about it - it's not a fashion show ;) Best,Cristian

Hello! Wear the same that you would for a face-to-face interview: suit and tie. Consultants wear them -but Fridays-, and it´s really bad to be underdressed. Hope it helps! Cheers, Clara

For McKinsey, you can get away without a jacket but wearing a tie is a safe bet for most geographies. Less for first round but some of the senior folks conducting final round can be pretty old school too.

Hi, it depends on the firm and on the country. With black you are sure, but in most countries, especially for Bain and BCG, dark brown is good as well. Best, Antonello
