<p>here's what you do:
wear nice jeans and dress them up w/ a really cute and dressy shirt
wear dress pants and wear a more casual top</p>
<p>best of both worlds, just make sure you look sharp either way</p>
<p>I would say go with a nice blouse and black pants combo. Casual yet conservative yet preppy</p>
<p>I don't understand the teen fetish with jeans either. The darned things aren't even comfortable most of the time, and nobody looks as good in them as they think they do.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter what the interviewer is wearing. She's not being evaluated for admission, a scholarship, or a job.</p>
<p>@lauraluisa: If you want to impress high school-age people, wear what they're telling you to wear. If you want to convey a more serious image to your interviewer, who will be evaluating you as an adult, you might want to kick it up a notch as most adults here have suggested. Dark pants in a lighter-weight fabric would go well with your twinset. If you don't have that sort of pants or you feel you absolutely must wear jeans, then the jeans should be:
1. dark, preferably black.
2. not ripped, faded, or patched.
3. not decorated with strategically placed rhinestones, embroidery, or anything else that screams, "look at my butt/crotch!"
4. not form-fitting or baggy. You shouldn't need a belt to keep them up, and you shouldn't need to lie on the bed to zip them up.</p>
<p>Good luck with your interview.</p>
<p>I had an interview at school, and I wore dark-wash jeans and a sweater...
I think jeans are fine for Starbucks, but seriously, if a school is going to reject you because you wore appropriate jeans, you shouldn't go there anyway.</p>
<p>I would say jeans are okay, however if they were to ask you dress formal then you most likely would want to do so. Though with an interview I would assume it's to get a better ideal of who you are as a student ( and attending their school etc...), so it's more like dressing how you would everyday... being more so of yourself.</p>

<p>THANK YOU!!!!!!! I mean sheesh. I never have understood how people wear jeans and say they're comfortable. Maybe fashionable, but definitely not comfortable. I think for guys, the dockers pants are much more comfortable. And as for girls, well not a single girl has ever said anything about her jeans except that they're designed for anything but comfort.</p>
<p>As for genuine advice on what to wear, honestly the way to go seems casual but nice-looking. As in, not slacks or anything too dressy necessarily, just some of the better casual clothes.</p>
<p>Wore shorts, polo shirt, and flip flops to interview at good, good school.</p>
<p>Was admitted.</p>
<p>Just saying.</p>
<p>I’m going to an interview at an artsy/hippie school. can I wear nice jeans? As in Burberry jeans?</p>
<p>Just throwing this out there, I’m pretty sure the interviewer isn’t going to be donning a Tour de France bike getup… likely a pair of jeans or black pants and a nice shirt.</p>
<p>My impression when I read that the interviewer will be carrying a bike helmet was that they were not biking for exercise, but that they use their bike to get to work, so I would bet they’re going to have on business casual clothes (being safe). I’m kind of siding with the folks say wear jeans if that’s who you are … dark is better, no holes. Be who you are, but the best version of that. In VT, we wear our best jeans to the theater, so if you are interviewing at a Starbucks in NYC, I would not take my advice and would wear khakis or non-jeans as well as loafers - no sneakers for either scenario. Good luck with your interview!</p>
<p>For the record – we’ve just revived a thread that’s almost three years old!!! But the quedstion is till valid.</p>
<p>My view – wearing jeans to a starbucks interview will probably not offend most people. Wearing nicer clothes will surely offend nobody.</p>
<p>Why take the chance?</p>
