What should I wear to my streetwear intern interview tomorrow?

victoryedge asked:
I am having a huge dilemma with this. Normally, I would wear some slacks, a nice shirt and a tie to an interview. However, the company that I am interviewing with tomorrow produces streetwear clothing that has become extremely popular in the past year. I’m not interviewing at a brick-and-mortar retail store. I’m interviewing for a corporate internship. I don’t know if I should show up in dress clothes or if I should dress in streetwear in order to show off my fashion sense. What do you all think?
I should probably note that it is a marketing internship and the company caters to the skateboarding/snowboarding/hip-hop crowd. My main concern is that I don’t want to seem “out of touch” with their primary target markets, but at the same time, I don’t want to seem like I have too-casual an attitude about the position. Aaahhh!!!

Dress up in your slacks and a nice shirt. You’ll be working for a street wear retailer, not modeling for them. Once you get hired if you can wear their clothes to work, great. But for now, nobody is going to look down on you for dressing up for an interview. Good luck!

When in doubt, I overdress… especially in a corporate environment. That is a personal preference, but its a general rule that I tend to follow.
