hey all, I have my first interview tomorrow with a design firm for an internship part time. They are a small creative frim with about 8 people. I am trying to decide what to wear. I have a nice shirt and trendy jacket deal to wear with some new dark jeans... Typical things I would see at an AIGA event, but can I wear a nice pair of jeans? Or should I do black pants with no jacket because it doesnt quite match? Call me crazy but jeans or no jeans? and am I a moron for asking...

go naked. bring a simple black suitcase. don't say anything at all. stand in front of them. open the suitcase. take out a sock puppet and let him do the talking.

most people who have come to us have worn jeans, but that doesn't mean anything.

yo what's with all you guys asking about interview attire?
Why don't you just tell everyone in the world that you're stoopid?
It's like asking what you should eat for dinner.
I swear I'm going to send this post to your new boss right now.

Go in the clothes that are, in your own judgement, both professional and comfortable. If, for example, it's a strict suit and tie place and you're a dark jeans and a jacket person, that tells you something. A job interview is as much you feeling them out as vice versa.
Head in there wearing the same thing you'd feel is appropriate day in and day out. From there, let your brain and your work do the talking. If their assessment of you comes down to having an issue with what you wore then you probably don't want to work there anyway.
(sorry if this repeats something someone else has said)

go with jeans. Black pants are for salespeople and accountants.
If you go with jeans that will show them that you are confident about your work, and you don't need to do everything by the rule, like wearing a suit, in order to impress an interviewer.

As long as your fly is up, you don't have food encrusted on you and you don't mix plaid and stripes they won't give a fuck. Worry more about your portfolio.
