The last time I went on an interview, I just wore black pants and a button down shirt (long sleeved). No jacket. I got the job, so I guess it was ok! Good luck!

I don't think a short sleeved button down is a bad idea... it's summer and it's been sooo humid... I don't think anyone would fault you for dressing a little cooler. I don't know how businessmen do it... esp the ones who have to walk (or run) around NYC in this weather. UGH!

The slacks and short sleeved sweater is probably ok. You might want to add a conservative necklace or something depending on the job, but watch your shoes. Go for sensible, not crazy. Had a girl come in for an interview with me last week who was in stilettos that had to have been 4'+ and she could barely walk.
