Spiked hair, bracelet, pants so tight you can see the line of his boxers, wearing balmorals with a casual outfit, etc. You can tell whoever put the outfit together knows little about men’s style.

I have an interview in the morning for a sales job with a software company. The HR rep said “business casual” attire. Am I ok to wear slacks and a button down? Should I add a tie? Seems too hot for a sport coat.
I've seen HR get interview information, schedules, dress and other aspects wrong before. Do your research and put your best foot forward. Don't put your success in someone else's hands.

Suit is the safest option. They won't 'not-hire' you if you show up in a suit. They will potentially 'not-hire' you if you show up dressed like a millennial hipster.
That said, you're probably okay with a coat, dress shirt, and khakis.

I asked if beard was ok, and she said “The beard is fine, business casual.”

I don’t dress like a hipster, so I’m safe there lol
Button down, dress slacks, and nice dress shoes is the most casual I’m going. I’ll probably throw on a jacket, with no tie. Thanks guys.

Button down, slacks, and add the tie. Doesn’t hurt.

Speaking of crocs, I learned the other day that a lot of the monks at St Joseph Abbey in Covington wear them with their robes.

I haven't worn a tie for anything in 10 years, including weddings and such. Its a relic and fashion appendage I choose to ignore. frick that noise and frick that shite. No tie even for board meetings.
Just don't vomit on someones shoes.

I wore flip flops because I figured that they wouldn't look at my feet. They looked at my feet.

I have interviewed a lot of potential employees over the years, I have never viewed wearing a suit to the interview as a negative, for all I knew the person may have just come from another function, or interview that required a suit, but I have viewed being dressed too casual as a negative.

What people are you meeting with?
If it's anyone from your potential Sales Manager or above, do not do business casual.
Never trust HR to represent what a VP or C-Suite expects from a boots on the ground professional.
I've almost fallen for that trap numerous times in speaking to the "hip" HR person.

Yet it looks damn good and much better than what most guys 35+ wear which makes them look 75.

Nice suit - no tie.
