I know best impression is the key, but i also think over dressing is a bit overkill. I recently had a job interview with some company this morning and the interviewer deem i was not dress appropriate. I applied for a desktop support (helpdesk type job, helping people in office with their computer issues). I had dress pants and a nice shirt, when i was in the office i seen people walking around wearing causal stuff including jeans..Why does the HR department require formal like a suit and tie when the actual job at hand does not really any kind of formal wear
(this is just a local small company in manhattan, not a big global company)

Did they actually tell you it was inappropriate? What did they say? Even though I have always worn a suit, I worked in different environments - none where jeans were allowed. Interesting and sorry this happened to you.
In this day in age with unemployment as high as it is you go into an interview dressed like you will be the next CEO, believe me I know it sucks but that's just the way it is.

they said it was inappropriate and cancel the interview. then they walked me out
ya, but i dont like wearing suits in hot weather. It can make me swear like a pig sometimes in hot and humid weather
Just think about it this way, if they have two well qualified candidates you wearing nice slacks and shirt and the other wearing a nice suit, who do you think will stand out in their mind and who do you think they will hire. Dress for success period!

This sentence right here tells me that I wouldn't want you working for me, even if I could overlook your poor writing and grammar skills. If you aren't willing to put a suit on for a job interview because it's hot outside then how hard would you be willing to work? My impression would be that you'd have the same lackadaisical attitude toward the job and the company that you had toward the interview.

I don’t mean to be harsh, but there may have been other issues.
