Fashion, style, and "look" is very subjective. I like meeting people who have their own "look" about them. At the same time, when you walk into an interview you should have done homework on the expectations of the company with which you're trying to work.
Why not over-dress for an interview? No employer is going to think less of you for dressing in a suit when the typical dress code is business casual. It shows you can formalize your appearance when needed.
In contrast, why would you under-dress for an interview? Wearing sandals or a polo shirt implies that you either 1) don't care or 2) aren't taking the interview seriously. What? It's hot outside? That's a shame - maybe you should drive to the interview in a car, bus or train that has air conditioning. Since the interview is (hopefully) an infrequent thing, spring for driving your own car that day or renting a Zip car if you don't have one.
A little effort goes a long way.
