Attire for case interviews?
This might seem like a dumb question but, what would be the recommended attire for case interviews if not specified in the invite? I know MBB is generally business professional (suit) but what about more boutique firms?

Usually, if not specified, you can always over-dress rather than appear under dressed. So unless I already know the attire, I typically go with full-formal.
Though, at this one boutique, everyone was wearing polo and pants, so I looked way over-dressed. Still, I was told I looked nice, so it all worked out.
