Interview attire (non-clinical/counseling)

[PsychApplicantFall2019]

I have begun thinking about what I should be wearing to interview. I am specifying non- Clinical/Counseling because I think that dress for those interviews may be more formal though I am not sure. In the neuroscience program invites, they specified that the interview dress was "business casual." Is that also true for experimental psychology programs? I am a bit worried about the shoes given that there will be campus tours, and it may be cold. I really don't want to wear flats in the snow. I also really don't want to purchase different outfits for different climates. 

Thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

I think its wise to aim for business casual regardless of what types of programs you're applying for.  I used to live in a warmer climate and opted not to spend money trying to find outfits for interviews in colder climates.  Instead I just layered.  So I'd wear a dress with a tank top (if you have a thermal one great) under, sweater tights, and a cardigan or blazer.  Then I had mittens (a scarf would probably also help, but I didn't have one) and borrowed a full length heavy winter coat which kept me extremely warm so it didn't matter that I wasn't wearing 12 layers of things.  For footwear I bought a pair of inexpensive rain boots to wear outside and then carried a pair of ballet flats in my purse.  When we got to whatever destination I just changed my shoes and it was no problem, in fact several other women did this so apparently this is common.
