You should dress nice, but don't dress nicer than the person interviewing you.

Although confidence is really important, I don't agree completely. I guess it depends on the place, but my parents own their own business and if someone were to come in with jeans on, they woudn't get the job. Their first impression of them would be bad and first impressions are the most important.
