Like for a nike store, you have nike shoes on at your interview or a vans store you have vans shoes/shirt on at your interview? Do you think that for stores like that, it would be okay or do you think no matter what you should dress up? No, I don't have an interview but this does stem from an experience where I had a group interview (just two of us) at a particular store (neither of the ones I mentioned) and the one girl had on a white tank top and some really ripped jeans and flip flops(not a hollister or ae or abercrombie store either) And I'm pretty sure she got the job.

I'm not sure at what place of employment ripped jeans and flip flops are appropriate. You can be casual -- if it's a casual work environment -- without looking like a slob. And I think at least one piece of a company's apparel to interview for a retail job is appropriate. If you're interviewing in their corporate office where everyone wears business attire, nope.

If you're wearing a nice pair of pants, a nice shirt and a suit jacket, with clean athletic shoes of the store's brand, I wouldn't call that inappropriate. I'd say it showed you understand what interview attire is (i.e. you didn't roll in in cut-offs and flip flops), but you're also demonstrating you're a consumer of the brand. I worked at record companies for years, and on my very first interview at one when I was fresh out of college, I dressed in a suit like I was going to IBM or some shit and the first thing out of the interviewer's mouth was, "You know you're way over-dressed right?" I looked like I didn't know what the fuck the environment and business was about. It wasn't any better than going into a formal setting and wearing jeans. Certain work places require some interview-dressing "strategy". You can't work in fashion and show up looking like a banker. You can't work in finance and dress like you're applying at Hooters . It's just not one look fits all. But I don't run a Nike store so, what do I know?

It was recommended that we wear AF clothes to the interview and I'm pretty sure they looked pretty closely at the labels
