Yeah I agree, leggins are not suitable. maybe swith them with jeans, I think the blazer would look cute and smart all at the same time.

What they all said! You need to look professional but not too serious at the same time, depending on the job you're interviewing for. I had to interview for a 5 star hotel and I had to wear a full on suit -_- different jobs different outfits! But no to leggings!

No leggings, and definitely no jeans (even black)! I don't know what disco pants are, but I'm going to be cautious and say they probably aren't appropriate either. You always dress professionally for an interview, no matter if it is for a job at McDonalds or The Ritz. The manager is taking time out of a busy schedule to talk to you-looking professional is a sign of respect.
Clothing:
Slacks or khakis, a blouse (no cleavage or exposed shoulders), closed-toe low heels or flats. No overly bright colors, loud patterns, exposed skin. Skirts need to be at the knee or below, and preferably worn with pantyhose. Clothing should not be tight or revealing.
Makeup/Hair/Accessories:
Sedate, simple makeup, light or no perfume, and clean/well manicured fingernails. Hair should be styled, generally pulled up. Jewelry should be minimal and not distracting; remove piercings that would be forbidden by the company dress code. Tattoos generally shouldn't be visible.
I've had many interviews and I have also been the interviewer. People who show up in too casual clothes, or with too loud clothes (neon colors, too much jewelry, too-tight clothes) don't get hired. If there is any concern that a candidate doesn't care about the interview (dressed too casual, sloppy) or won't fit with the image of the company (loud or inappropriate style) they are removed from the hiring pool. You want your resume and your words to do the talking; appearance should reinforce the impression given by your interview.
