[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in a similar situation, OP.  I wasn't expecting the interview and am in a situation where I don't have a suit available to me.

It is what it is.

There was a thread a couple months ago where everyone advised OP not to wear a suit.

Who knows anymore.  [/quote]

If you can't figure out how to obtain a suit, you're probably not smart enough to land a job where an interview suit is expected...so, problem solved.[/quote]

It's not that I can't figure out how to obtain a suit.  It's that the interview was a last-minute thing.  I currently work a job where I don't ever wear suits.  It's very casual.  I got rid of all my old suits years ago.

I simply didn't have the time to go buy a suit in time, partly because I was being flexible and trying to accommodate the interviewer.

If they're reasonable, they'll understand.  I did the best I could and I was dressed professionally -- just not a traditional suit.  There are more details about the situation that make it even more understandable and perhaps acceptable that I didn't wear a standard suit.

If they offer me the job and I accept, then I'll buy some suits.  [/quote]

Me again.  I do actually have one suit that I usually use for interviews.  But I couldn't use it (long story).

The main point is, you do the best you can.  I know better now to be armed with a few suits.  I assumed I'd have more lead time to get one if something came up.  But now I know it's good to have one suit on hand, cleaned, pressed, and at the ready!

Yep. I have a black suit that I use mostly for funerals.[/quote]
