That all depends on where, and when the Director is setting the play.
Hamlet is often played with contemporary political overtones, and there will always be directors and producers who insist on "making a statement" by placing the action within an odd venue.
A 1926 production in Berlin portrayed Claudius's court as a parody of the corrupt and fawning court of Kaiser Wilhelm.
Kenneth Branagh's film placed the story in the late 19th century, complete with appropriate costuming and furniture.
Film versions starring Ethan Hawke and David Tennant have placed the action in the twenty-first century.
In nineteenth century, directors became focussed on making costumes and sets be as historically accurate as possible for the time period when the story which Shakespeare dramatised originated, in this case 7th century Denmark.
However, if you wanted to remain true to the original performance values of the play, then you would wear garb from the early 1600's, when the play was first performed.
None of these approaches are wrong.

List any one bit of advice Polonius gives to Hamlet?
Polonius never gives advice to Hamlet. He interacts with him four times: when he accosts Hamlet in the hall when he is reading (what do you read, my lord? words, words, words), when he comes to tell Hamlet that the players have come (Buz, buz) and during and after the First Player's speech about Hecuba, during the Mousetrap (I did enact Julius Caesar), and to tell Hamlet to see his mother (very like a whale). During these conversations Hamlet constantly has Polonius on his off foot, and Polonius would never have a chance to offer advice. He does, of course offer a lot of advice to his son Laertes, but nobody would confuse Laertes with Hamlet.
