Hi,

I was an interviewer for 5 years at BCG. I don't remember what any of my interviewees wore. Because frankly it didn't matter. I remembered candidates that I didn't pass (because they were very personable), but the reality is that I have also passed some candidates that I don't really remember anymore. 

Go ahead and do it - but note that your actual performance matters alot more :)

Hi there,

100% agree with Sidi.

All downside without upside. I love this for a tech firm/startup, but not for a large established player/consultancy.

Ultimately, do what you want/feel comfortable with, but I personally would not.

Here's some more reading on dos/don'ts in the interview:

Hi there,

Q: Would it be okay to wear a green tie for my BCG interview.

I don’t think it will provide any advantage, but if it fits your outfit naturally (not necessarily easy with green) there is not something specifically wrong with it.

Good luck!

Hello,

It's a fun idea! But I think you're overthinking this - I don't think it would make you stand out or seem memorable (unless you deliberately point it out or something) in either a good way or a bad way. So, there's really not much effect in my opinion.

Hi! 

This will have ZERO upside. But it can have a downside, if it is a really weird green. :-P (just joking - if it's a subtle, maybe darker green, it should be fine. But as I said, it won't have any positive impact)

Cheers, Sidi
