You really wanna get this job? What you wear will do no difference.
Bring an iPad.
If they ask to see your resume, just go "Here you have it, read it right off my iPad. Type in your offer right at the form field on the bottom... Sir..."- yeah, in reality if you worry too much about the clothes, you are showing insecurity on your workMeeklo

I have done several interviews in our respective field.
If you have a suit I would go with that, you are better off over dressing than making the wrong first impression. The last interview I had for the position I am in now, I wore my suit, tie etc... and when I got there and meet the COO he said, I should have told you to be casual. The jist here is that at least I made the effort to be professional and there is no down side to that. Just think about.

I'd say a good way to judge what to wear is imagine yourself going to a meeting for a bigwig external client. Where the smartest thing that they would have to wear when impressing themselves on someone else.
At my last job there was no dress code. I joined in the digital department in the middle of summer when a few of them came in in shorts. The COO, CEO and the people immediately below them wear suits every day. The sales team also wore suits.
I went to that interview in smart shoes, smart jodhpur trousers with shirt, tie and v-neck and although my interviewer and then future boss was just in jeans, shirt and trainers, I still felt like I should have worn a full suit because the best formal impression the company gave out was suit-wearing.
That said, don't wear a suit to interview if you're not comfortable in a suit. Putting a suit on and going to interview does not constitute pulling a suit off.
I always think wearing a suit shows you want to impress, but if you're not comfortable in one it makes you look like you're bluffing.

The way you described what you would wear to an interview is what I wear everyday. I do this because I am professional but also I want to make the statement via fashion that I am looking to forward myself in this life and in this career. That being said I look at an interview as an opportunity to wear my suit. I always meet clients in a suit, and if a dress code calls for trousers by default I wear a suit.
Please wear a suit.

I heard suspenders are making a comeback, even for the non-banker type.

Interesting that there are a wide range of opinions for what to wear to a creative role interview.
I think we can all agree, though, that a Bud t-shirt, jogging with print on the arse, white socks and Crocs are probably a losing proposition.
