Well, depends what you mean by "count against them."

In reality what I mean is that the people who show up in casual clothes
get a point *for* them, because they had the guts to come in and know
they would impress with just their skill and not their appearance, or
because they researched the company enough to know we're not a suit and
tie company.   That's a point *for* the person in casual clothes.

You can consider that a point against the person who shows up in the suit
if you like.

You can usually tell right away that the person hardly ever wears a suit,
too.
