For an interview, no. To be safe, no. After a few weeks working there, yes. (if you notice other people doing it)

I don't tuck my shirt normally, but then again I'm an intern and no one cares about interns.

They're typically considered grandpa pants. But on some younger people, they look good. Wear whatever you're comfortable with.

Very good! :D typically, pleated pants make people (both men and women) look frumpy and ususally they are not very becoming, even on the most slender of people!

once my more fashion aware relatives told me about this a while back, i began to notice that it does look rather out dated. flat front pants just look cleaner and you look like you are at least slightly aware of the current fashions.

Tucked, Flat fronts, No white socks, Belt and shoes match. If wearing an tshirt under the polo make sure it is nice as well. No raggedy, strecthed out collars.

I hate untucked Polo shirts. They go real well with those brown suede shoes and white socks.

Depends on the situation and shirt. At work...always tucked. Outside of work...depends on if the shirt is "cut" to be worn untucked.

Always tuck unless you know for sure it's laid back enough not to, and you can always untuck later on if it seems to be OK to do.

I wore my brown polo shirt w/ my khakis yesterday. Always thought it looked nice, but like the guy above said, wear a nice undershirt. I usually try to stay away from white undershirts personally, looks too plain.
