anacott stealMeeting alumnus for coffee, may lead to an internship at boutique--should i wear a suit? or is business casual appropriate?

Tuxedo. Preferably with tails.

In all seriousness, go with the suit, you can't go wrong.

"For all the tribulations in our lives, for all the troubles that remain in the world, the decline of violence is an accomplishment we can savor, and an impetus to cherish the forces of civilization and enlightenment that made it possible."
 

Suit with no tie/top button. You hedge against both extremes - looking like a slob and looking too formal (since you are a student and it is a coffee meeting). That's my take.

Please don't quote Patrick Bateman.
 

and i think if i wear a suit ill set a different tone to the meeting, rather than an informal meeting/convo where it can be more personal rather than interviewesque
