It's quite simple... Use your common sense and dress conservatively.
What should you wear to an interview? It's quite simple, really. A good rule of thumb is to dress as if you were going to a job interview in an office building, or as if you were meeting your partner's family for the first time. In other words, something clean, comfortable and presentable that makes a good impression.
You don't want to wear anything that might be offensive or considered controversial. Your clothing doesn't have to be expensive, but it should be clean and pressed. That doesn't mean you have to spend hours working on the creases in your dress pants, it just means that you don't want to wear anything that looks like you just rolled out of bed in it. Polishing your shoes so they shine isn't necessary, but do give them a quick wipe if they need it. Don't go overboard with the perfume or cologne (you too, gents!). There's nothing worse than be crammed up next to someone in an a hot, overcrowded waiting room who's wearing too much perfume. Be considerate of those with fragrance allergies or sensitivities and use your scents sparingly.
What NOT to wear:
- gym clothes such as shorts, sweatpants, tank tops, etc.
- t-shirts with offensive or political slogans/pictures
- dirty, torn clothing
- excessive perfume/cologne
- distracting makeup or hairstyles
