FWIW, a job placement counselor explained it this way:
1) Your job at an interview is to sell your skills and qualifications
to the interviewer.
2) People hire people they like, qualifications being equal (and
sometimes even if they are not).
3) You do not want anything about your appearance to distract from your
skills and qualifications, or worse, to hit someone's personal negative hot
button.
4) Ergo, you wear The Uniform, including not only The Suit but also a
conservative hair style, jewelry, etc.
