Interview attire for corporate position at clothing company

[TRA8324]

How would one dress for this? I saw a position for a distribution analyst at J-Crew a while back and considered applying. I was Industrial Engineering undergrad, so it's a pretty good fit.

Anyway, back to the interview. Would you do standard interview attire, or would you add a little creativity in to it...maybe add in a PS or some different shoes?

Job Interview + Creativy = 99% failure. Wear standard navy/grey suit, white/blue shirt and nondescipt tie, black/dark brown shoes. If you have this stuff from J Crew, even better.

I'd get a J. Crew rep tie and be done with it.

Agree with standard interview attire. Even the interviewer likely won't notice it's a J crew tie.

This.

However if you were client facing, I would tell you to do conservative, but still with a twist of the brands aesthetic.

Wear something that they sell.

If you have to ask this question, then you shouldn't be working in the clothing business.
