One possible explanation is that you had asked what their dress-code was --
i.e. what they would wear on a /typical/ day in the office -- not what they
would wear to deal with outsiders they didn't know.
I'm a little surprised that on the second day, you didn't turn up in your suit
to find everyone else suddenly in business casual...
