Thanks for the replies. I too HATE them, but was unaware as to whether or not it was inappropriate to show up for an interview or business meeting without one.
My big thing is that I'd really like to show up a little more contemporary. I see a lot of people showing up for interviews and job fairs looking like they're dressed that way ONLY because they have to, or people that look like they're going out and reliving prom night.
And while I'm no George Clooney, that is the look I like to go for more or less. For that matter, I think the look exudes a little more confidence than the more traditional, uptight look, for the fact that the person across from you sees you breaking the mold a bit in your appearance while still maintaining professionalism.
