Dress code for interview

[rncarterjm 0]

What do you guys suggest is the most appropriate dress code for my interview. SHould i go casual or not?

I treated it like a business appointment and went in business casual dress - a nice dress that I would wear to work. You want to make a good impression on the interviewing officer and that is easier to do if you dress like the interview is important and professional. Be comfortable but don't be too casual either.

Hello,

I'd recommend business casual as well- For my interview I put on some dressy black pants, nice sweater... (Couldn't fall back on work clothes as it's only jeans and shirts and sneakers there...) Most important should be that you feel comfortable with what you are wearing (I'll definitely leave those stupid heels at home for the oath ceremony ).

Good luck!

since this is an interview, business attire would be good.

Seems to be a very repetitive question here, no, you can't wear two hundred buck designer blue jeans, but can wear a six buck dress. Not sure if the OP is a male or a female. How you can dress is written on your interview notice that still leaves a wide leeway, but would think if you dress in such a manner you become self conscious of it that would affect your interview, to look in your clothes closet once again, or your neighbors.

My wife is a professional woman and wore one of her finest business suits, with a skirt, matching shoes, and purse that could have been a detriment for her. If she got a guy, could have been fine, she was a knock out, but got a gal that had to wear a tent as they don't make clothes that large and could be the reason she was given a very hard time during her interview. So your guess is a good as mind.

I couldn't help but observe that only attorneys wore suits in the waiting room, ha, even had to ask them if they were attorneys, they were. In the upper midwest, the dress code has been greatly relaxed. None of the guy IO's were wearing a suit, more like a sports shirt and cotton pants, most needed an iron. So I do not feel you want to out dress your IO. Question is, who is your IO and how do they dress, damned crystal ball has a crack in it.

I wore a neat white dress shirt and dress pants, black patent leather shoes, no tie, but could have gone in naked for all the difference that made. Would have made the job easier for those armed guards, going in naked.

Lol, good point though. Maybe a good way to go is to dress your best, then take off the extra garbage (tie and suit coat for men... fancy purse, shoes, and way too much makeup for women)... and you should be fine no matter what.
