Exactly. Interviews are like dates. A lot of people are going to say "I dont need to dress up on a date. How I dress doesn't show anything about how kind I am or how cool I am or how this and that I am. If she likes me she'll like me for who I am." Those are the same people who say "what I wear to an interview doesn't say anything about me, etc." I guess this is a valid viewpoint...i just don't agree

They are the same people who don't get a second date or a second interview!

there's no doubt that a person interviewing the right way will dress in a suit for any office/corporate job. despite the limitations or rigidity of the mindset which expects/requires a suit, it is what it is. it's important because it's important.
stupid, perhaps, but if you want a job...wearing a suit is the easiest of things to do (unless you're homeless, in which case you should stroll in naked).

There are programs where homeless/low income/victims of domestic abuse have access to proper clothing so that they can get back on their feet by getting better jobs.
You all know that if one does not have proper attire on a job interview that can't HELP their chances of getting the job.
This guy is upper level managment in a job market where HE KNOWS he needs to wear a suit. Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I would want to know WHY he did not wear a suit. Who knows... his answered might have demonstrated some sort of situation that was an indicator how hard he was working to overcome some sort of personal/financial situation - or the opposite - that this guy isn't in tune/bright enough to present himself properly to manage/lead or interface with potential clients effectively.

No one here has said it should even be a top priority in judging a candidate. But when you have the luxury of having almost every person you interview having nearly identical and impressive resumes, that's the kind of thing that can and will be a tie breaker. There just isn't that much disparity between people vying for these positions. Without a stellar resume you won't even get an interview, so how could someone with his amount of experience be dumb enough not to understand that he needed to make sure he had ALL his bases covered, including his attire?
Edit: I've sat in on a few interviews and assisted, though I am not important enough to make the call lol. I remember one woman who came in was dressed pretty nicely, conservative but stylish...but her shirt was ill fitting for her....bosom size. She was a little on the heavy side, so when she sat down the space between the buttons spread and I could see her bra. It was so distracting that I could barely focus on what she was saying, and I'm not gay (she wasn't hot, anyway). When she left, my boss and I shared a "look" and he said, "Nice bra, eh?" She didn't get the call. It wasn't even that she came off as trashy or anything - she didn't. But her clothes were a distraction and that's what he remembered most. He may not even have consciously decided not to call her because of that, but when reviewing the people he spoke to for the position if he recalls one person for the ease and flow of the interview, another for being impressed with his/her specific answer to a question, and her for her bra....
Point being, you don't want what you wore to the interview to be what they are talking about afterward, and if you wear something that will make you stand out from other people interviewing, that's what will happen. (speaking, of course, just for this general line of work)

lol @ those people saying a suit shouldn't matter.
its a matter of respect for the company, and whoever is interviewing . Look nice, well groomed and show that you take it seriously. it's also a matter of self respect
My business persona/style and my everyday style are completely different. it's just in the business world, you have to be professional looking and sounding (unless you have such an amazing reputation or that well known/established, than maybe it can be oversighted somewhat).
everyone can afford at least ONE suit. Even the most broke person can go to Men's warehouse and buy something that looks halfway decent.
piss poor excuse, especially for someone who's 40+

i've interviewed 20 people in the past 2 months or so. Everyone has dressed fine. I haven't seen one person come in wearing flip-flops or bermuda shorts. Are these myths?
Instead of focusing on suits, lose some fucking weight. I don't mean be 5% bf, but so many 250lb hippos apply for professional jobs. And to me, if you don't value yourself to keep in shape, what makes u think you'll value your job? And some of these people are like freakin' 27! And we're not big fans of rising health costs for us.
