Well, I interview students occasionally so I guess I could say what I like.
Look clean, but not anal. Show me who you are.
Wear a suit, its professional and appropriate. Nothing loud or obnoxious. On a personal note I think black is boring. You are not going to a funeral. Black says "Im to afraid to be who I am to me". That being said, don't go buy a suit just because you were planning on Black, just add a little variety (a colored shirt, a nice tie etc.).
Nothing more unoriginal and uninspiring to me then Black suit, white shirt, black and grey tie. Now if you got some pinstrip going fine.
In all actuallity the suit will not make or break you...at least it shouldn't. But subliminally it tells me a little about you. Communitcate with me, don't fear me.
All in all - a dark suit, nice shoes (that are clean), and a little color but not to much.
Upon further reading I see that you are probably a girl (hence the dress reference). I would stick to a suit still (skirt or pants) although I think pants would be more comfortable. same basic idea, except with a girl I don't think color is as big of a deal. I have seen many nice looking girls in marroon, purples, blues, and other cooler colors.
