For a Zoom BCG interview in London: the dress code is ‘smart casual.’ Is a smart polo 👕 acceptable? I look good in it but just want to make sure it doesn’t seem too informal.

I would do a button-down to be honest. Doesn’t need to be a dress shirt, maybe a more casual one, but I wouldn’t want to show my arms in that position.

Point taken, thanks!

They won't be judging you in your fashion model skills, but in how professional you look.

If it was a client, would you (and most important, would a Manager at the firm) use a smart polo?

From my POV, every manager at Bajn I've interacted in London (pre-covid) uses a button shirt.
