    Nice jacket and shirt. Might be able to get away with pj bottoms or dark tracksuit bottoms. :)

    Out of interest assuming it was a zoom interview did you and interview panel wear a headset ?
    A friend of mine is doing one year Zoom and asked me whether to wear a headset or not?
    I couldn’t tell them yes or no as I’ve had no experience of a zoom interview

    There is no real guideline on headsets. We don't when interviewing but that's also because we are in a nice quiet office. Usually candidates have not worn headsets but if the need arose, I don't see why not. I would go for the more subtle ear buds if possible though.

    White shirt, a nice tie and a pair of dark jeans. Couldn't see below my waist anyway so it made no real difference.

    I take it as a traditional interview and prefer dress shirt with dress pant or jeans.

    Honestly, wear what you would to a normal interview. Even if they can't see your bottom half, it will inspire confidence and a sense of professionalism in you, will prepare you for future interviews in the unfortunate event you don't get a job and may also be a requirement of the company you work for to be at least "smart" dressed. Get in good habits now and they will never leave you....unless its cash Friday
