Have a job interview lined up

Slacks, nice shoes, nice shirt(long sleeve), tie, man bag(rofl). It's summer you can get away from not wearing a suit.
Edit: If you do wear a suit make sure it is charcoal or navy, not black.
 
Wear the suit. It doesn't hurt an interview like this if you wear a suit.

Koing
 
If they said it is business casual and no suit needed, then it is business casual no suit needed.

There is a spectrum of what can be considered business casual, just make sure you are on the nicer end.
 
Don't wear the suit.

They told you business casual and no suit is needed. They didn't say that for the he11 of it. Maybe they want to see if you pay attention.
 
even in a business casual environment, its tacky to see people walk into an interview without a suit.

i've interviewed a few people, and wouldn't consider them if they came in without a suit.

Especially when you told them NOT to wear a suit, right?

Exactly, what kind of impression do you give when you don't listen to what they say?

"Hmm, this one wore a suit when we asked him not to."
"He would probably do the same if we hired him."
*balls up resume and tosses it*

This kind of thinking annoys me. If it's a business casual environment, why does the guy have to wear a suit? You aren't wearing one. No one else is wearing one. If he works there he won't be wearing one, but he doesn't get the job because he didn't interview in one?

Not to mention the fact that it has nothing to do with how well the person can perform.
 
bump... it's gonna be like 95 degrees... i'm thinking maybe i should just go with the dress shirt now
 
I was vastly overdressed for my last interview, that along with my wit and inteview skills got me the job in 12 hours. In 99.99% of cases being overdressed is better than being underdressed.
 
I had an interview with a large international corporation in July. It is a casual/business-casual work environment but I wore a conservative suit to the interview and did not feel over-dressed in the least. In fact the recruiter even recommended that I wear a suit.

FWIW this was not for an IT position, I am working with about 200 other lawyers so YMMV.
 
If they TOLD you not to wear a suit you could be suiciding if you DO. On the other hand, if they TOLD you not to wear a suit, and you DONT, you are just following their directions.

One has a possible terrible outcome, one just has toss-up outcome. I'd go with the toss-up.
