This isn't always true. I'd say dress slightly more formal than how they dress for work. Always err on the side of formality, yes. But do not overdo it. For example you wouldn't show up to a roofing interview in a suit. But you may show up in a polo and jeans or khakis when the common work attire is jeans and an old t shirt. | ||

I don't actually have any pants on me at college that aren't suit pants or jeans right now, so I think I might overdress and wear the suit. Yeah, that's the right choice. | ||

Nice clean semi-formal top and pants tucked with leather shoes are always nice | ||

If for some reason asking is not an option, dress in a suit/tie. It's always safer to be overdressed. You can have a bit of fun with it at the interview at your expense if you find you've dressed too formally. No one will be having any fun if you've dressed too casually. Good luck with the interview. | ||

You can't go wrong with that. It's business, it's not trying to hard. it's solid interview attire. | ||

This seems to be what I would do. I know at my current job I wear a teeshirt and hoodie with jeans. Very casual but on first day I wore dress shirt and jeans, this is because in the interview I asked how they dress and then dressed a bit above that. Dress shirt and dress pants is pretty good. But i agree suit may be over kill. | ||

if they wear khakis and a button up, you wear a suit if they wear bluejeans, you wear khakis and a polo/button up | ||

Nobody has suggested wearing a monocoloured t-shirt, blazer, jeans, nice shoes. That is a quite common "legere-semi-formal" dress in Germany. Is that uncommon in the US? | ||

Basically, like LaSt)ChAnCe stated, you always want to dress up from how they usually dress at the job. The OP posted a link that shows the employees wearing business casual so he should wear business professional. It is very common in the professional world that you would wear a suit and tie to an interview, at least in the States. In fact, 100% of the applicants coming into my office wear a suit and tie and we wear business casual. | ||
