4. I’m not wearing that.
Keep any and all comments about the dress code or uniform policy strictly to yourself, no matter how bad it is. Unless your next move is going to be getting up and walking out the door, just agree to whatever weird fashion code this company wants you to follow. The interviewer isn’t interested in your opinion, and anything negative you may say about the clothing is likely to be taken with some offense since the interviewer probably is wearing the approved clothing, or did at one time.
Sure, the on-the-job clothing may offend your fashion sensibilities, but there’s no way that the interviewer needs to know that. Save up the comments and the jokes for your new co-workers. At least that way, you’ll have something to talk about on your first day.
