Is it still expected that people dress in business casual clothing for interviews? I have seen so many people dress casually, in casual/street clothing and I think it’s peculiar since I was taught a different standard. Has the standard changed?

I like to say this generation is weird, but that would be rude, but yeah back in the day you dressed appropriately for an interview nowadays you know I really don’t even care anymore because of what might be “appropriate” to someone, might not be “appropriate” for someone else. I was in a position to hire folks, and I really didn’t care how they came through the interview as long as they showed up and convinced me that they can do the job.

That’s fair, performance is more important than appearance, especially when it comes to clothing style, as long as it’s not inappropriate. I feel like it’s not being taught as it used to be, the standard of business casual for interviews
