What should I wear for an informal interview?

Hiya, trying to get myself back in shape for a proper job I volunteered my self at a couple of places that I would like to work for in the future (whatever allows me to get a foot in...). And I'm having an informal interview this week. The question is... what should I wear? The appointment is with the head of an admin department of a university. I expect that a good part of the job would be dealing with students' queries but if I land a job there sometime in the future, I would like also to be involved in promoting the university in other countries (which is part of several job descriptions in the same office). So, the question is... what do I wear? the boss, who will be at the interview, normally wears suits, but the rest of the staff wear smart casual. I know that most of you would say "casual" but then... what is a good casual atire?

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

PS... I don't do skirts

I would definitely wear a suit. Better for you to feel a bit overdressed than underdressed .
You could wear a smart fitted t-shirt style top under the suit, so if you felt way overboard, you could just remove your jacket.
