> That said, my last several jobs I landed, I went in blue jeans and conference swag (startup tshirts). That's the implicit dress code. It's just hard to notice because it's converged on standard male developer attire. Conversely, a female interviewee is caught in the paradox of (a) appearing "too informal" by social standards for feminine attire if she dresses the way described above, or (b) appearing "too formal" if she does conform to social expectations for her gender. Never mind that women have an inordinately hard time finding non-unisex conference swag in their sizes in the first place.
