Business casual (not tie and jeans) or formal without a tie.
You were joking about the vest right?
What makes you think that?
Vest and jorts.
vest; no shirt
haha..why not..can always say.
"i thought your bank had semi formal on Fridays"
birthday suit it up.
Wear whatever the hell you want. I met with an analyst with khaki shorts, sandals, and a cheap shirt bought from Wal-mart that had a hole in it. The meeting went great.
.
Where are you meeting them? In the office? Over lunch/coffee? If in the office, dress the way the office dresses. If over coffee or lunch, biz casual should be fine as long as the analyst isn't at a firm where he/she wears a suit every day.
