Interviewing at an ad agency, are khaki color pants and a blazer over dress shirt overkill?

^I don’t always go to interviews, but when I do, I wear denim.

Yes. I’d be more relaxed. See if you can scope out their office in advance but (black) jeans & a (denim) shirt would probably be more appropriate...

For an ad agency? Totally. The designers in my old firm wore literally nothing else than double denim (though maybe London has a different style than the US...)

Drop the blazer and you’ll be fine

If in NYC, what you suggest is appropriate. California? Jeans should be fine

Dark wash jeans, tshirt (fashionable t) and a grey blazer.

Thanks all. Interviewing in a data science group so not a designer. Thinking khakis, dress shirt and sweater now

Stop it with the khakis man. Wear dark wash jeans and a blazer. Classy and casual
