It would depend on the type of clothing store. I used to be a Assitant Manager for Express and when hiring I enjoyed seeing interviewees wearing our clothing because that meant to me they liked our clothing and would not have a problem wearing our items to work which is an requirement once hired. NO JEANS OR T_SHIRTS EVER!! You want to make a good impression. I would think that it would ok for you to wear the shirt. Aeropostale is a pretty casual type of clothing that you can dress up or down. Now if you were going to Macy's or Be Be's nothing but a business suite or dressy slacks and a blouse would do. I'm pretty sure you can pull it off with the right shoes, pants and accessories. I do not think it would hinder you at all in getting hired.

At any store, for any job, you should look professional and somewhat conservative. The interview costume is to demonstrate that you take the job and at least the interview seriously. If you went to a job interview decked out in Abercrombie flip flops and a t-shirt, I doubt you'd be taken more seriously than someone wearing something like this: for guys, shirt & tie, slacks; for the ladies: slacks or knee length skirt, close-toed shoes and minimal cleavage/midriff button-down shirt. Taking the time to look professional gives the impression that you are professional and have maturity. The resume proves you can do the job.

The best impression is still won through wearing very conservative clothing. It might impress or it might sort of give a wry smile to the interviewer for you to be wearing some of their clothing line - it just depends upon the person. I would think that it would work more positive than negative. In anycase, try to wear closed in shoes like pumps, skirts with blouse and jacket or a suit is best. Even if you feel that you are "overdressed", you are telling the interviewer that you are SERIOUS about getting the job, and your attitude is in the right direction.
Also, the way a person dresses also does subliminally effect the attitude. If you dress like a million bucks, you will command respect by your body language, eye contact, tone of voice, and you will feel like you have an "image" to project, so people will pick up on it.
And, of course, the adverse is also correct.
Just put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer, and look at yourself and see if you will pass your own "ideal" of a serious candidate for this particular job. It also pays to look at how the current staff is dressed, and dress just a bit "better" than they, like a manager.
Red is a good color to wear somewhere on your person. It represents assertive go-getter attitude. Colors enter into it also. Try to not be "loud" or too "soft", just clean-cut and with a taylored look about you. Hair pulled back, styled niceley. Minimal makeup and jewelry, light on the perfume.
Also, practice interviewing and "selling" yourself in front of a mirror, then again before family / friends to get their feedback. Always project confidence, speak clearly, great eye contact, answer questions slowly and honestly. Allow the interviewer to control the questioning (questions asked) and speed of the interview. Be courteous, respectful, try to find something on a personal level with the interviewer to "bond" to them with - this will help them to remember you. Look about the room: Do you see something about sports? kids pics? art on the walls? Anything that you can strike a common chord with them.
In closing, (as at the beginning of interview) greet and say goodbye with a handshake, smile, and last remark of how you enjoyed the interview and you hope to hear from them real soon.
Always follow up IMMEDIATELY with a thank you card, addressed to the interviewer.
Good Luck!!!

Not recommended you wear clothes with a competitors label on it. They dont have the expectation that you only wear their clothes but then again they dont want to see hollister labels on a potential employee. Find something with no EXPOSED labels or remove the hollister one.

I would dress better than that for an interview. At least business casual-khackis and nice shirt or something similar. At least a blouse. They say it is better to be overdressed for an interview.

It would be a VERY good idea!
Wearing something obviously from the competition would be exceedingly bad form indeed. Probably enough so to keep you from getting the job. They may well never say anything to you directly about it but you just won't be selected for the position.

Not advisable for the interview, you won't want to risk your chances of being selected!
Just wear something equally comfortable and smart, and present yourself with confidence, that should be good enough
Gd luck!

probably not for the interview, but if you get the job they will expect you to wear their clothes.
