What is the modern dress code for a zoom interview? Wearing a suit feels potentially out of touch with the moment and a tie feels obviously so.

Agreed - I went with a simple white shirt with a half-zip jumper recently when I interviewed recently and I felt it worked well (assuming you’re male)

If it's the sort of place where you'd wear a suit for an in-person interview, I've found most people wear either a formal/collared shirt, or the same with blazer (no tie). Applies to both men and women. Tie is too much, and I do feel t-shirt is still taking the piss a bit for an interview even if you'd wear one during the normal zoom workday

Cool, well the above is what people have worn to zoom interviews I've done at Bain. Nice sweater also works if it's more PE bro than schlubby Joe

I interviewed recently and just went for a collared shirt, I felt comfortable and I got the job

I just wear a collared formal shirt, simple. It works.
