Just do the best you can with what you've got. Leave the balaclava behind.
Have you at least got a reasonable shirt you could iron?

As long as you're clean and presentable, that will have to do.
Depends on the type of job really, but a suit isn't usually a requirement for an interview - as long as you don't turn up in your joggy bottoms and scruffy trainers, job's a good un.

Try running through a Top Man on the way to the interview and see what you can grab!

trousers today are borderline joggy but theyre all black no stripy or logos etc, should get away with it its for bear scotland who dig up roads etc, apparently they need a driver for driving big vehicles so maybe suit not needed. Why would I want to involuntarily try to impress anyone anyway, ill just be my "normal" self  _________________

Not exactly helpful to you right now but... That is generally regarded as an interview. If you can't get a suit, smart casual might work, at a pinch.

You can get trousers, shirt and tie from Asda for less than £20 for future interviews.

paniking over nothing as usual, the people never wore suits either, just a farmer type shirt and interview went great, ended up being a "guess each others age" game so it didnt really feel like an interview atall _________________
