Interviewing in Hawaii - How to Dress?
I have read in several places that one should not wear a suit to a job interview in Hawaii. I assume that this depends on the type of job, but I was interested in what tech-oriented folks folks in Hawaii thought about it. (I will be moving to Oahu, hopefully in early June but definitely by the end of July, and I am just starting to submit applications.)

Hi David. I recommend a tasteful aloha shirt with a belt, slacks and a nice pair of shoes.
When I first moved to the islands I wore a suit to an interview and was teased by coworkers for months :-)

Check with your interviewer (at least one of mine was very explicit about ties). That being said, the usual interview attire for men is what I call "Aloha Formal:"
- Dress slacks with belt
- Shoes with socks
- Aloha shirt tucked into pants
It's the tie. Ties are for politicians and other people you can't trust.
For "Aloha Casual"
- Socks are optional
- Aloha shirt on the outside of the pants
Caveat lector: if you are looking to me for fashion sense, you could be in deep, deep trouble :-)
