For guys: Formal shirt, nicely combed hair, trimmed beard and bottom you can go with regular boxers, shorts or anything to nothing should be fine.

D1 spoke my mind. Exactly that

I don’t even cam up and somehow I’m offered the job!

More importantly I stand up so I’m more poised to be impressive, charismatic and confident. You don’t want to be slouching in your chair you’ve been in for the last 20 months. If you have confidence and poise, what you wear doesn’t matter at all. Wear whatever you feel most comfortable and confident in.

I went through a pretty rigorous interview process for a marketing project manager but ultimately wasn't given job.

How do I again the experience if I'm limited by the type of work we do?

Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents.
