The interviewer is likely to make an impression of you by the way you dress.  You should dress in a manner that is professionally appropriate for the job that you are applying for. This does not always mean wearing a suit.  When in doubt, dress in a conservative manner.

When you dress professionally, you show respect for yourself, the interviewer, and the company. You  are more likely to be taken seriously when you present yourself in a professional manner..
