Newb Question - Formality of contrasting sportcoat/blazer and pants for interview?

Hello - Tomorrow I have a 3rd round interview for analyst position at a small private equity firm in a city about 8 hours away from my current residence. I am crashing on my friend's couch tonight.

Long story short, like an idiot I forgot my suit jacket, but do have my pants (navy). My friend is the same size jacket as me, and has a really nice grey blazer/sportcoat that actually pairs nicely with my navy pants. I am thinking with a white shirt and navy tie, this is a really good outfit.

My question is: is this unprofessional for a 3rd round interview? I'll be meeting with one of their founding partners. Again, this is for a small private equity firm (about 15 people), I have already had two interviews in their office and have not seen a single person with a suit/tie (they all wear jeans, chinos, polos, button downs, etc.).

It will only be an issue if you make it an issue. Rock it and make believe it was intentional. Not like you have many other choices.

Just had my trade dispute rejected by Schwab for a loss of 35k. This single issue alone should be a gigantic red flag to anyone who trades on their platform. If they have a system error, and you do not video record your trading (they actually said this), they will not honour their fuck up. Switching everything away from them. Fuck this company.
