Tech support?Go for the shirt and tie.

any it job shirt and tie and ideally a suit i interview a lot of people and am amazed at how scruffy people arrive in wearing. From a interviewers point of view a suit always makes a good impression

I'd say go with whatever the staff there wear. That's usually the approach I go for because if the people who work there have been hired then that is probably the kind of person they want working there. I'd say a suit would probably be the most appropriate clothing to go for, or a shirt and tie as weemcd said. My bad.

^ no, shirt and tie.

I wouldn't agree with "go what the staff were wearing". We generally wear tshirts and jeans where I work (some people are even scruffier). But if someone turned up to an interview wearing tshirt and jeans, then that would make a very bad impression. Most people interview for the job in suits, some interview in business casual dress. Between suit and business casual, I've never seen an interviewer be influenced by the dress choice in that regard.

I'd say "business casual" is your best bet. Shirt and any pants but jeans. You'll feel and look more comfortable than if you were wearing a suit but you'll still look sharpish.

Where I work casual clothing is fine, as in, not overboard casual, but within reason, like jeans, jumpers, shirts, cords, whatever.

However if somebody turned up to an interview wearing jeans and a t-shirt it really doesn't give good impressions at all.

You're best off with the shirt and tie approach, or in place of a tie, a nice jacket always does the trick.

Don't be fooled by the work enviroment or guidlines. You should always make it a principle to impress visually before you even open your mouth.

Shirt and tie, definitely
