When applying for a design job with the house budget committee, I actually wore funkier outfit than when I applied for other jobs. The Hill folks needed an 'artiste' -- which really just meant an awesomely patterned shirt under my suit and some enormous earrings. When I applied for jobs at 'creative' places, I dressed more conservatively. It is possible to be hip while still looking professional, but I think you have to have an excellent feel for what the employer is seeking. There are also levels to ‘creative’ dress.
