What to wear to an interview?

[caitlin1214]

I have an interview at a pet supply store tomorrow. (They sell pet supplies but they also sell puppies, birds and fish.)

Normally, the answer to "what do I wear?" is obvious. The thing is, in this store the dress code is jeans and a t-shirt.

Should I go in interview attire, or jeans and a nice t-shirt?

Even for a casual store, I would go in with a more dressed up approach, to show you put in some effort into seeing them. Since this is a pet store, a full suit would be too much, but I think a nice fitted dress shirt with black dress pants would be a good combo.

Good luck with the interview!

I agree with cupcake_flake. Nice pants and a dress shirt will do just fine. Maybe a nice pair of flats -- heels would be too dressy. Good luck!

How'd it go?

When I went to an interview at a fast food restaurante, I wore a pants-suit, and shiny semi-combat boots as to not be too dressy.
