In general, women can wear an extensive range of clothes for work/interviews which are acceptable. For men, suits or shirts and ties are considered as the requisite "business attire"

For men yes I think a shirt, smart trousers and smart shoes are a must. But I think it sometimes can be a bit *too* formal to wear a suit jacket + tie.

I've worn a suit for all of my job interviews, even got grease over it whilst demonstrating how to couple & un-couple a trailer.

I've been told more than once, that the suit swung it in my favour.

I agree with this, I love wearing a suit and have a few but probably wouldn't wear a full suit to an interview as a CG Artist for example, as it would be far too formal for the type of industry I'd be interviewing for.

THIS.......................

and nick goods off the shelves before you go in, then use the line that they need to tighten up security and they should give you a position as a security guard as you know the sort of scum to watch out for.

They will surely be impressed with your proactive approach ?

Oddly enough it's DNeg (vfx if you don't know them) that I was talking about asking me to come in tshirt and jeans.
 
it really doesn't matter, I see plenty of applicants who look like they've only just rolled out of bed being offered jobs, I do a mental facepalm every time. I'd never dream of wearing anything less than smart trousers, shirt and tie, yes even to a supermarket interview!

I totally agree with you and do all of the above/have done all of the above (bar point 8) for each and every interview but as long as you can pull off not being a complete and utter window licker at a retail interview you could turn up in nothing but your boxer shorts and still get the job.
 
In my last job interview I was told not to 'suit up' on the invitation. But that's probably specific to the company.

For my previous two jobs I wore T-shirt and jeans to the interview and still got the job. One was at Woolworths and the other a local fulfilment company.

For an interview at Tesco I do not think a suit is necessary. Smart shirt, shoes and trousers would be fine and most likely smarter than most other applicants.

'A full blown suit' has now replaced my previous most liked phrase in this thread which was 'fancy salary job'.

Is everyone saying to not wear a suit a chimney sweep from the Victorian age because I'm getting a really strong Mary Poppins vibe here.

I'm definitely putting "full blown suit" in my comedy vocab.
I'll file it alongside "instant MOT fail" (as opposed to a gradual MOT fail?)
"Fancy salary job" is pretty good too I must admit.

I went to a tender meeting last week, and I wore a suit, but now I'm not sure if it was full blown or partly blown. Where does one draw the line?
