Interviews are really never about what you wear , but about "attitude ". Having said this your daily attitude is determined by what you wear. Loose native attire gives an impression you are laid back and independable . Bottom line: don't wear it.

I attended an interview some years back and saw people on native attire, especially those our brothers from the north. It looked good on them and the interviewers did not complain. Although it was a federal government job interview.

At very senior management or executive level, especially in a government owned company no problem; at lower levels, not encouraged.

Yes, I think it shows confidence.

But most of our Nigerian Oga and Madam dem seem to
get mad at the slightest show of confidence. SO........

Just wear your Suit & Tie. Shine your shoes too.

If you were conduction an interview for the role of an Admin Manager and a candidate showed up wearing a native attire, would you take him/her serious? undecided

Yes I would. At least I would give the person a chance to show me what he/she is made up of.
if you are looking to hire a well dressed gent/lady, you can go ahead and hire hushpuppy and instagram slay mamas.


Any f00l can dress like in gucci and come for an interview and annoy you in the end with their rubbish.
Clothes don't make the man.

Is native attire allowed as dress code for interview...especially on Friday?....
No !
The office is a formal setting and an interview is a place to demonstrate your capability and so you need to dress formally . Native wears have different types and so it is not allowed in an interview . Some native wears may even embarrass your employers .

Yes if the opening is native doctor or nolly wood

Yes, you can wear it. Let it be fitted and not lose type. As well as putting on your cap and shoe. What matter is you looking good and smart.

There is a reason companies and organisations have a dress code. If you work for yourself yes, wear whatever it's your show. But in the cooperate world its professional attire. As for the citing of Neymar wearing causal as an example, wear that to an interview and see if you get any jobs. How is that even a logic example? Even if he was naked they would have not cared.
If you are going for an interview at a palace or some fashon house yes wear whatever .If you are hoping to be considered seriously consider your image it's that simple. It applies to both sexes. Too much of anything is never good.
