I think that makes you sound like a little kid, an amateur. You're an adult, so don't ask other people what you should wear.

Different places have different expectations, and there's no reliable way to know in advance what those expectations are going to be -- other than asking. I think most employers understand that.

If you can afford to say you wouldn't want to work at a place that expects a suit and tie for an interview, that's great -- but not everyone has that luxury.

Asking what to wear has generally worked just fine for me.
