Can I wear jeans to a interview?

I have a interview tomorrow but I don't know what to wear. I just bought black trousers but they costed £13.50 and I might take them back. The interview is only going to last for 15 minutes so I don't see why I can't wear black jeans and smart shirt and flats.
Has anyone else been to a interview wearing jeans?
If I do wear wear my jeans what would go with it to make it look smart. My jeans are black skinny ones.
The interview is to be a mentor young people at schools.
Thanks

If your interview is for head skank of skank shop, sure.

If not, make more of an effort.

If your interview is being a builder, then just drop the jeans a little bit to show of your crack.....otherwise the trousers are the best option. If you get job you will make your money back like in 3 hours.

Depending on the attitude of the interviewer, it might be a bad idea. :o:

To be on the safe side, wear smart business clothes to an interview for that job.
Well you can, but it's unlikely you'll get the job.
You kinda need to show that you've made an effort, and that you want the job :/
And it's 'cost', not 'costed' >.>
All depends, did you buy the trousers from high street?
If so be sneaky and wear once, take them back untouched :biggrin:
Do not wear jeans.
Well they're black and skinny - do they look smart? I think they might prefer trousers to be honest, but eh.

Definitely trousers! Jeans just scream "I can't be bothered"
trousers make you look smarter, so wear them and look smart, and more likely to get the place. After, you can just take the trousers back
ok trousers it is

You could wear a bin bag if you wanted....

Wear what you think will most likely get you the job, not what's the least effort you can get away with. :smile:
heres what i would think if you came for an interview for me in jeans

lazy - cant be bothered to dress for the interview cant be that bothered about getting the job so i cant be bothered putting them forward to be hired
You wouldn't be allowed to wear jeans for the job, so why wear them to the interview?
This thread is over 9 years old, the guy has definitely had his interview by now :lol:

If you want to start another discussion, create a new thread instead.
