Pants no shirt

Wear a Jacket. Its zoom. Can wear sweat pants if you want but wear a good shirt and a jacket. First impressions matter.

Its a small thing, takes 0 effort, and probably ahead of the curb of those that decide not to go that route.

Shirt and tie OR shirt and jacket. That's my .02.

No jacket. Amazing pressed shirt. Nice pants. Anyone that wears a jacket is “trying too hard” to impress and this hurts more than helps. You are interviewing them. You have the skills, talent and ambition - figure out where those will have the most impact.
