Final Interview Tomorrow - Do I Go With the Black Pinstripe Suit or the All Blue Suit?

Looking to see a consensus of opinions here. Tomorrow is my final interview for a CRE role at a BB. My first interview, superday, I wore my all blue suit. I am thinking about either wearing my go to all blue suit again tomorrow or mixing things up a bit and wearing my black pinstripe suit. What are your thoughts, please chime in! Thank you in advance I look forward to reading the replies.

If you're worried that they're going to remember that you're wearing the same suit again, don't, unless it's a really unusual share of blue. Mix it up with a different shirt/tie combination, and you'll be fine.

They're almost certainly looking for three critical traits: intelligence, conscientiousness, and conformity (willingness to play according to the rules of the hierarchy.) Unless it's an unusual firm, a black pinstripe will be "non-conformist" and won't do you any favors.

 

Thanks. I am interviewing at a different office with different people so I am not worried that they will notice I am wearing the same suit. I just love my pinstripe suit and wanted to wear it. I always read everyone saying NO TO PINSTRIPES. Lets agree on the blue suit for tomorrow. Brown suede Gucci loafers or black leather Allen Edmond loafers?
