Appropriate to wear to an interview?

Ag Lending - No, can't tell if the slacks are cords, colored jeans or Dockers.

Education / K-12 - This COULD be appropriate for an interview if there was a button down shirt under the sweater. As it is the statement is too casual and indicates that the person does not know the kind of impression that he is creating.
