Disregard people who are saying that you are dressing too casually. In this industry, over dressing can actually lose you a job. Software engineers and IT guys who are used to wearing shorts and t-shirts don't typically need you to come dressed like you're going to a funeral. I would go without that blazer and find a decent shirt to wear. The first zippered thing looks alright.!

Yes, i just want to find a good balance. The company is the third biggest IT-company in scandinavia but my friend works there and he says that people are wearing t-shirts with jeans at work and I should not come overdressed.

Listen to your friend. The last outfit, provided the sweater is not backwards, will work just fine. BTW, I have degrees way beyond a BA and I rarely wear a shirt. I'm also very professional.
No. Depending on what the position you apply for is the top should be a shirt. You should be wearing a shirt and business suit if it is a position that requires a college degree.
Read the thread. She said it's an IT company. A suit is overdressing... Which in that industry is bad.

Casual doesn't mean tshirts and flipflops. It usually means polo shirt for men, jeans or khakis, etc
I like it a lot more than the original two! The necklace is a nice touch too. Pull the front as much as you can so that the neckline is a bit looser. Make sure the tag isnt visible!
It's an improvement. But how comfortable will you be in a backwards shirt? Will the tag be scratching at your neck, will the fabric gather funny across your chest, etc. I'd hate for your discomfort to affect your interview performance. If it's comfortable that makes a big difference.
I work for a very large tech company, and I actually think the first outfit might be ok, depending on the fabric of the zipper shirt. I saw a few posters described it as a zippered sweatshirt, but it looked more like a poly-jersey?
Have you shown these pics to your friend who already works there? He could probably tell you fetter than we can if any of the options are appropriate.
I am not a fan of #2. It looks frumpy, which in this industry can be associated with being out of date and not up to speed on the latest and greatest technology.
