To me, quirks are "yellow flags" in the interview stage because it means that you're not able to put your own weirdness aside to fit socially when you arguably need to the most

My response from the other side of the table: as an interviewee, I view these initial interviews an an exercise in expectation management. I don't consider myself as weird, so I act like I normally would, otherwise I'm setting myself up for failure later on.

Also, I don't wear to an interview what I wouldn't be comfortable wearing on a normal working day. I dress casual on purpose (but representably casual, not weird casual -- but that's my personal opinion of course).
