off coarse. mmorghunter is rite

Reiterating a few things mentioned:
1) Groom yourself nicely. Haircut & shave ASAP so you can look more grown in to it around the interview.
2) Like Crash said, study the company and ask relevant questions. Did they just finish a big deal with another company (ie: merger, partnership, etc)? If so, inquire. It'll show you read up on them.
3) A portfolio folder makes it more professional-looking, but no need to grab a $90 one. I used one from OfficeMax that cost me maybe $10. On the resume front, get nice paper, but nothing too generic. Still, not something that's glaringly flamboyant (ie: trying to stand out).
4) Firm handshakes, look them dead in the eyes as much as you can. Sit up, don't slouch.
5) Make sure you have a nice suit and clothing. Shin's advice pretty much covers this nicely. And brown suit? blol. Come on people. I'm not a fashion fag, but even I know that you wouldn't wear such a thing. Maybe a charcoal suit, or a darker navy color (close to blackish).
6) Be natural. But also smile a good amount. Try not to look too brooding. Bear in mind that these guys are deciding whether or not to work under the same roof as you until something happens (ie: firing, changing jobs, etc). You need to be enjoyable to be around.
7) Ask the interviewer questions on occasion. This ties in to #2 somewhat, but also, if things seem like they're dead-ending, ask something like how long they've been with the company. People like talking about themselves. Try not to look like you're sidetracking them, of course, but this ties in to being a decent potential co-worker. Friendly, curious of others, not a recluse, etc.

There are a number of different interview types. Meeting one person. Meeting lots of persons separately. Sitting in front of lots of persons all at once, as they sit you down at a table and go around asking questions (most pressuring interview process, hands-down).

Then there is the actual interviewing itself. They might ask cookie-cutter interview questions. Sounds silly, but google this sort of stuff. You think "ahaha that's a BS question", but they might ask you something that you should pull your punches on. Sometimes they'll ask you about a coworker you didn't enjoy working with and how you dealt with it. If you say stuff like "he was a faggot. I quit to get away from him" or "setting his cat on fire learned him good", chances are you won't be sent a job offer.

Otherwise, they might just do a more generalized interview for the position in mind. Applying for a job as a mechanic? They might ask if you have experience doing such-and-such with whatever tools on hand. This is just raw mind-prodding to see if you know your stuff.

But I'm rambling This topic is about dressing for an interview. But if you're curious about attire, chances are this advice isn't worthless.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.
