Conversely I was hired at a search company (no not that one... or that one) when I got out of college and wore a suite to an interview. Come to find out later the suite almost sunk me because they felt I might not fit with the culture. Fortunately my code stood on it's own. Today I routinely wear a nice button up shirt and designer jeans (the "cheap" $80 kind not the $500 ones) to work. Which is overdressed still but I feel it is a nice medium.' Occasionally I'll take in a Broadway play (when it travels to Boston) and I always wear a suite. Sure, half the people there will probably be in T-Shirts but I like dressing nice. 15 years ago they probably wouldn't have even let you in without a suite. Edit: As one might gather from my lats comment. I'm North East USA (New England). NE is very different culturally from any part of the country. We are closest to California but here suites are more common.
