I'm about to go to a job fair pretty soon and I don't want to look like a dirt bag and not to look like I'm trying too hard. What do people usually wear to a job fair and still land a job?

It is always better to be overdressed than underdressed. I would suggest a pair of slacks and a nice dress shirt with a tie.
I am not sure where the Job Fair is but if it is anything like the ones I go to for recruiting--most people will show up in jeans and T-shirts. That is not a very good look for finding a job.
This will be the first impression a potential employer will have of you--make it a lasting one.

Dress professionally...that will always make you look like a serious candidate. A suit always works. I got my job through a job-fair. Make sure to get a good folder where you can keep all their brochures in. Big sticky notes (as opposed to a notebook, or loose sheets where info might get mixed up) where you can jot down extra information.....or whatever works best for you. A pen/pencil. And always ask for their business card! Take a moment during the job fair to sit down somewhere and organize your folder & contacts, so when you get home, you dont have to try to remember stuff from memory. And then write thank you notes to people who spoke to you, whose companies you are interested in. All the best!

Dress as professionally as possible. Suit or nice slacks with tie and button down pressed shirt. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and you looking overly nice may be the difference in someone hiring you or the other guy. Good luck!

Conservatively. The employer will always remember how you looked when he first saw you. A button-down white shirt, tie, jacket, dress pants and dark socks and shoes can give him a favorable image of you. You won't look as though you are trying too hard.
Good luck.

Dress like your're going to an interview because some of the hiring managers will "interview" you while you're asking questions about a particular position.

Dress pants, collared shirt, sweater, dress shoes and dark socks. You are not trying too hard, but you are not sloppy either.

dress pants and dress shirt. I would also take a tie - you can slip it on if you see others wearing one
