While I agree with the above posters, a long-sleeved poll shirt with chunks and a sports coat is an acceptable choice. Loaders, and you're good to go. You can immediately take off the coat if everyone else is really casual.

What kind of chunks? I have seen shirts with chunks of food on them. Will that work? How about the kind of chunks my young kids would toss out when they lost their lunch, will those work?

You don't take off your coat, unless someone says "take off your coat". You don't work there yet.
Unless as one poster said they tell you to dress in business casual you wear a suit.
You don't have the job yet, when you get the job you can be casual if that is the environment.
Suits always impress. What is interesting is the part culture plays in "interview attire". I have interviewed people from many cultures, with different levels of education, for various positions. And have learned to put aside my white upper class, ivy league education in a northern state bias. It is really eye opening to see what a high school graduate from the south, who is Hispanic considers, "professional" attire. This is not putting anyone down. I had to adjust my personal bias. Because sometimes the person in the "right" suit, was not the right person for the job.
So, yes, dress appropriately, but realize the person with the right skill set, and attitude will get the job, dress code aside.
I'd wear a suit to the interviews, and for the one that says suits don't impress, I'd just take the jacket off and wear the button-down shirt and slacks.
Personally it seems pretty clear to me that showing up in a suit is not the best move. I would probably go slacks and a sports coat, no tie.
I'm going to second that because they put the language in the add for a reason. Wearing a suit may tell them you are a rouge which may impress them, or it may backfire like the previous poster said (about paying attention to details in an IT position). My point would be remove the clothing from the interview. Nobody notices eyebrows unless they stand out, so wear something (not a suit) that won't stand out or at the most is given a quick look over. By the way, is it a Three Piece Suit?
I'd wear a tie though, there's a long stretch between wearing business casual and "suits don't impress".
