Ey guys
What should one wear in a job interview,
considering it's a young small ad company of circ 25 employees of late 20s / early 30s?
At the first interview I wore a suit but I ain't no Hamm and I look a lot better in casual outfits.
And the interviewers were casual too, one even wore a new era snapback.
I will be doing the second interview soon, I wonder if I better just wear casual.

Go more casual if you feel like it. If the interviewer wore a snapback I wouldn't even wanna look good.
a hoodie and jeans will do the trick

Wondering this as well. I have an interview coming up with a tabletop gaming company. Wouldn't wear a suit, but I will get interviewed by the CFO so...

dress shirt/pants/shoes/belt
are you autistic?

You can never be overdressed
Rule of thumb is to be one step above the interviewer.
If they are wearing a shirt and pants, you wear a tie on top, or a casual jacket.
In this case, I say go business casual. It shows your serious. Once you're in, you can casualise.

anything less than a suit is stupid.

Blazer over button-up, slacks, oxfords, no tie, fashionable analog watch. Never did me an injustice in an interview.
Stick with a suit, or at the very least a dress shirt, pants and a sports coat.
Yea bro just wear some sweats, they'll think you're a chill guy!

unless they tell you otherwise, wear a suit
some tech firms will let you know in advance that dress code is smart casual for example, in that instance a suit would be silly
for pretty much anything else short of your local fast food restaurant you should wear a suit. I previously worked at a prop firm where everyone was very casual - still wore a suit when I interviewed there, the guy was talking about the firms culture and commented that you could wear what you want though he was glad as that is what he'd expect from a serious candidate.
I always went in suit because I had no idea what they'd wear.

There are two options:
>if you want to be super formal
Suit jacket/trousers, dress shirt, tie, polished shoes
>if you want to be less formal
Dressy shirt and pants, polished shoes, no tie
Unless you're a goddamn retard, do NOT dress in casual shitty clothes. If you get the job you have plenty of time to wear crap clothes every day in the workplace.
> everyone saying suit
If you live anywhere on the west coast, or mostly anywhere in the eastern seaboard, or possibly Chicago .. and if it's a small firm .. you can get away with khakis and a nice sweater with a button up shirt underneath. Or khakis or wool pants with a button up (tie optional)
Don't do the following:
> jeans
> sneakers (including converse)
> hat
> shirt with abnormal color (red, green, purple etc)
> excess stubble
> hipster tie (too skinny, wool/knitted, square bottom, retarded shit like polka dots, etc)
> definitely not a t shirt
The fact your interviewer wore a snap back to an interview is ridiculous. Sometimes I wear a hat to work. *To* work. Never *at* work. And I'd never wear one interviewing a candidate.
Remember, they're not just interviewing you, you're interviewing them too.
I bet he was arrogant as fuck. Hat guy. I bet he was real cocky wasn't he.
Op here
Thx everyone for inputs
Guess I will be in suit
And no the hat guy was cool, but yeah I was shocked too when I saw him enter the room.

This and the others are spot on. At minimum, yoh dress as if your going to work there, a step above because unsure or to be takeb more serious is good practice.
That being said, if you were interviewing for a trade - jeans/work shirt and boots would apply. If OP or anyone is doing that, be sure to still do belt, tucked in, shaved/trim, etc
