It was a PR firm - I dunno, I thought that in a field like PR/Advertising/Marketing people tend to be a little flashier. I've done my other interviews in a black pinstripe with black shoes...but given the board's hostility towards black, this was the one I posted.
In grad school I learned that an employer is less likely to give a job to an overdressed person than an underdressed one. One who looks to chic and affluent will get less sympathy than a person who has an older, conservative, less fashionable suit. The poorly dressed fellow - as long as an effort is perceived - will get pity votes and the nicely dressed interviewee will intimidate and possibly illicit disdain from a more than likely less fashion-minded interviewer(s). Unless of course the job is related to fashion. Just something to ponder...
IMO, not a question of "over" vs. "under" dressed, more a question of over-polished vs. under-polished. You can tell by the way someone dresses for an interview whether they are trying to impress, or trying to show off.
nice fit jpgm...
Yeah, it's been pretty wet down in Australia recently (IIRC, we got the more rain on the first day of June than we did for the entirity of May - what's with that?), which suits me, now the black can come out again.
Yeah exactly my sentiments. The tie-shirt-slacks-coat is enough for most interviewers. They will note if the suit is clean, pressed and no too loud. When you start throwing in pocket squares, hats, scarfs, vests, jewelry, ascots, ect. then you cross into the realm of haughtiness, which can intimidate and offend many people.

Funny...that's how I feel about Omega!
+1. And the worst part is, after they ding you, you will never be forgotten. As in, "hey rememember that guy who came in with the pocket square, yoik, yoik."
Shhh.... People will start to figure out how i came up with this screen name in 5th grade
