Not trying to be funny, but there are many people out here that can't afford a suit or nice "interview" clothes and they do the best with what they can.
It does not have to cost several hundred dollars, unless they are applying for a position on Wall Street or senior management. It just has to be clean and fit well. If a person is in extreme poverty, there are charities that provide interview clothes.
I used to live in a homeless shelter in a residency program, while we did not wear suits to job interviews. Every resident had a professional set of interview clothes from the donation center. We had a white shirt, tie, and wool slacks.
If people do not need free interview clothes, the thrift store is also an option. A dress shirt and wool slacks are a bargain at these places. The pants may need to be hemmed and the shirt may need the waist taken in. These alterations are simple and can be done at the cleaners.
Ha, I think the guy in that video would be better off wearing a suit. Unless that's really his look. Pink shirt with a white linen jacket and carrying a man-purse (note how similar it looks to the woman's bag)? Not too many people can pull that off, and most people are going to feel very uncomfortable (apparently including their model). Don't do that.
LOL Yeah, that does look just a little bit gay. Which means that here is the Bay Area, he would fit right in.
But seriously the CEOs of most tech companies wear jeans to business meetings. So wearing a suite and tie would be overkill for that type of job interview.
I think your interview dress should match what you're expected to wear if you got the job. If one isn't sure and they're asked in for an interview, politely ask the recruiter beforehand what the 'dress code' is for the position. That should clue you in as what you should be wearing to the interview. If your job calls for dress shirt and tie, then you show up to the interview with dress shirt and tie, and so forth.

Not true. The outfit you wear at the interview should be at least a level or two more dressy than what you'd wear for the job.
If the job calls for dress shirt and tie, wear a suit and tie to the interview.
Generally, you never lose points for being a bit overdressed, but you do lose points for being a bit underdressed. And you lose a lot of points for being very underdressed. So, why lose points for something that's easy to prevent?
Too many folks here are confusing a good, tailored or bespoke suit with some $75 H&M suit they got on sale 3 years ago.
A great suit looks amazing in any environment....it's not "boring" unless the suit sucks. Random women will compliment you all day in a good suit; men will respect you more.
If your casual attire looks better or shows more personality than your suits do........I think it says more about your $100, 15 yr. old prom suit than it does your fashion choice.
If we had to deal with that childish nonsense, this country would be in even worse shape than it is currently.
Interviews at pizza joints and other people's houses rock.
Don't knock til you tried it.
granted....nothing as awesome as that interview scene from swordfish.
