However, I wanted to ask what you guys think about appropriate interview attire. I have a black suit that I wear to just about every single interview I go to. However, I am NOT comfortable in it, and I think it shows. I try to give off the best impression I have, and I dont know if it's just that this suit isn't cut right for me, or if I'm just more relaxed and laid back than a suit makes me feel, so therefore I feel stuffy and appear stuffy when wearing one...
Is there anything else that would be appropriate to wear to an interview? If so, can you show me some pictures of appropriate looking outfits that might be okay?
I have a feeling I'll err on the side of caution and wear the suit anyway, because I'd be paranoid not to. Any ideas on how to get over the stuffiness feeling so that I can give off the appearance that I'm alot more confident and comfortable than I actually am?
Thanks!

I dont know where you live but it seems almost every area had the "outlet malls" and I have found AWESOME suits for under $100 at the Kasper outlet store! I like to buy off season too for even deeper discounts! Last year I got 3 dress suits regularly priced between $250 - $350 for under $50 each!! I got tops that were normally $50 for like $5 - $10 and scarves for like $5 that were like $30 regular price!! I love finding those kind of savings!!
