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!

Do you like the general look and material of the black suit? If so, I would take your black suit to a tailor and see what they can do with it. It might seem expensive (I'm not sure how old you are) but I've found with all my suits that tailoring makes them look 100% better than when I buy them.
So my advice is, get your behind to a tailor tomorrow with your suit and tell them you need it a couple days before your interview.
