I didn't even wear jeans at my interview for a fast-food place! You deserved it. EVERY job interview should be treated like it is a business career; never show up to work in jeans unless you are explicitly told it is okay by your direct supervisor and you have seen other people wear them..
Bad friend...bad, bad friend!
Um should of asked the person interviewing you when you set up the interview
In most fields, you should *always* wear a suit or business-professional clothing to an interview--even if the people working there dress more casually. In our office the interviewees always look overdressed compared to anyone else but honestly if I was interviewing someone and they came in dressed as casual as the rest of the office I wouldn't think they were taking the opportunity seriously. You can dress as casual as everyone else once you land the job.
Maybe she meant business casual?
The friend probably meant "business casual," which is still at least slacks and a nice blouse, rather than jeans. Although the friend should've said to wear a business suit, the op should not have worn jeans regardless. That is not appropriate for most offices or even a job interview.
Your "friend" didn't want you to get that job... also, even if it's a super-casual office to work at, an interviewee should dress up a little bit.
Eh. In a situation like that I'd probably still wear a suit or something. Better to be over dressed than under dressed.
He probably meant business casual. Good rule of thumb: never ever wear jeans to a job interview.

Even if the office has a casual dress policy, you should have worn a business suit for your interview.
Casually kick your friend's ass
