Shirt and tie with no trousers. Who's gonna know, right? Me personally I always wear shirt and tie for an interview, I feel trampy otherwise. (edited)

No trousers is a given !!!

For a school or uni, isn’t a drag queen outfit the norm these days?

Shirt, tie & brown or burgundy buttoned cardigan with leather patches on elbows.
You will fit right in.

There's never any harm in being overdressed in an interview.
There's potentially a negative in being underdressed (they have a lesser view of you or you become aware of being underdressed and lose confidence).
That's why I always wear a top hat and tails in my interviews.

I go to interviews in my motorbike gear, it's an easy excuse not to bother dressing up. Plus I got the job in the 3 times I did that, so it's clearly some kind of life hack.
Not that i'm suggesting to wear motorbike gear at home for the interview, but that would be somewhat hilarious to attempt.

Do you work for Deliveroo?

Full bondage gear, including kinky black rubber gas mask. You're welcome.

It's not a Parliamentary position...

Definitely better to be over dressed than. Under dressed, so I'd go with the tie just in case. I remember when we interviewed people, not in ties ourselves but someone showed up too casual, my then boss took a dim view of it (bit silly really!)

What's it for, gardener, maintenance, cleaner not sure I'd put on a shirt and tie for those as might show you don't like getting your hands dirty.

I haven’t worn a tie for years, work in financial services (outside of London tho)
Edit: just read the job, maybe do wear one! (edited)

It depends on the organisation culture and the role. No tie, for example, if it is a typical Silicon Valley type business - Google, Apple, etc. But some of the older banks / insurance companies still like to be stuck in the 19th century. One person you may want to ask is the one who helped set up the interview, unless it is the hiring manager themselves.

This is the problem in society today, people think having standards is 'being stuck in the 19th century' laughable!

For a professional position you’d always wear a tie. Better to be over dressed than underdressed. Unless of course you know they have a casual busy attitude. Good luck with the interview.

For a university I'd probably wear a shirt and tie.
These are old establishments and quite a lot of "dinosaurs" still work for them so may be very traditional in their ways.
