> If they wear suits... you probably do not want to work there so I would recommend wearing a tuxedo or nothing at all.

Don't know if that is just a joke, but one of the best places I ever worked people all wore suits, the systems were internal for a few high wealth people revolving around aviation.

Not pretentious, just looking as smart as you can. Same sort of logic as dressing up to go to the opera, I love to see gf in an evening dress, she likes me in black tie. I definitely look more dashing!

I should be wearing a suit now, but instead have my arm in a sling, so am in an injury friendly easy to dress casual t-shirt. No one objects (well aside my productivity drop due to one arm out of action).



There might be an interview trick in there...

Don't have a nice enough outfit? Grab a $5 cast or sling and use it to excuse your lack of suit, say it'll be off in a week.
