The wrong colour suit
I'm an IT bod (I know, shock right?) and I once went for an interview to be a sys admin for a legal firm in the city. Turned up at the interview suited and booted, passed all the technical questions and all in all it seemed to go really well. Then I got the feedback.

"Sorry, you haven't got the job, you were wearing a dark green suit and they felt it was inappropriate for the business."

Apparently, it's only black or gray for legal firms.

If it is the sort of dark green suit that is found in many discount suit stores then I assure you
the colour was probably the least of their worries.

I'm sure
it was a "fob me off" excuse, but what a crap one eh? Surely better to say I didn't meet the tech requirements rather than dis my fine suit.
