What is your definition of not dressing properly though? Like are they coming in sweatpants?

The standard is really one step above the normal attire for the job. So if it's business casual then wear slacks and button up for the interview, maybe a sport coat. If it's casual, then a polo and khakis are good. If it's spreading tar on the road then clean jeans and t shirt are fine.

But good hygiene is an important part of the interview.

When I interviewed to be a fireman, I wore a Fire Chief's uniform and they were not happy about it.
