Do people still wear suits

Always, and with a tie, always.
I find it very unprofessional to dress smart/casual for work, especially if you are in a position of meeting clients, contractors, etc etc. As for suits and no tie, disgraceful.
Whatever happened to 'first impressions last'
But maybe I'm old fashioned


We changed policy a few years ago......

Ties were shown to be a major source of cros infection and banned!

As a result open necked shirts and short sleeves became the norm.

It was extremely uncomfortable and just seemed "wrong", but I m used to it now.

Whatever you wear or do at an interview, DO NOT, under any circumstances call the interviewers "You Guys".

Just don't, OK?

Genuinely

It was shown that health care professions were scrupulous in wearing clean well laundered clothes, and then wearing the same tie day after day.

Research showed that many ties were infected with MRSA, E coli, and a whole range of diseases.

I think it depends on the job.
If I was going for an office based or senior position I'd wear a suit, or atleast a skirt and smart jacket.
For a job in retail or in school (those are the only interviews I've had recently) I would favour the smart-casual look.

I had an interview today...went smart kinda casual with tie....got the job...mind you the job is supporting adults with learning difficulties so doesn't require fancy apparel...glad I made the effort
