I've never worn a suit to a job interview, and would not tolerate working for a company where I was expected to.

As an interviewer, I've encountered only a couple people who did wear suits. Definitely lived down to the stereotype.




For job interviews--and only job interviews--I tend to dress up to something between a button-up silk dress shirt with pressed slacks and no tie to a full suit. I've mostly done the latter in a previous career (academia) where it was expected for interviews.

Do you understand that you're reinforcing the stereotype?
