    I've been thinking about this a lot lately. It depends entirely on the environment of the office. If it's casual dress and you're interviewing for a designer or ad position wearing a suit, you'll look out of place, and likely be passed over.

    I walked into a studio to speak to one of the partners (later I found out they were considering it an interview) wearing a vest, and got a few comments (I had another engagement that day that called for nicer clothes than usual) - I made a snide comment about how they were dressed and we all laughed and they were very cool, so it was fine.

    I think clean, but informal is a vest bet for agencies. Depends on your look; button-up shirt (untucked), jeans (sans-rips) and shoes would suffice.
