BB is coming to our school for an information session, and scheduled time for coffee chats. Should I really wear a suit to the s

I go to a semi target, and a few people from a BB sent out an email that they will set aside time for coffee chats before the information/networking session that night (that I cannot attend because of class). I sent them an email saying I would like to meet up for coffee and that I can't go to the session. Got a timeslot. I'm a woman, and a lot of threads say suits are a good idea for "coffee chats" but theses are usually for an independent reach out, not through the school.

Would a pants/blazer/blouse really be necessary, or could a casual dress/black blazer/flats suffice? It will be with a campus recruiter and a full time analyst, and at least one of them will be alumni.

Cumque et ratione dolores nihil velit. Quod ut sint consectetur quod tempore assumenda. Omnis et quia similique provident qui ea.

Aspernatur magni et non nulla. Id velit perferendis asperiores in ipsum. Nesciunt deserunt excepturi dolorem et ea. Laboriosam quo repellat quaerat sed nihil reiciendis fuga.
