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?
-Black suits are for funerals -Pinstripes are for nothing -Loafers are the definition of business casual -Suede loafers are the definition of casual
Do the blue suit and the black shoes
Thanks. So would you recommend black leather Allen Edmond wingtips over the black Allen Edmond loafers (because I have those as well, the loafers are just way more comfortable)? Or are you saying just go with the loafers? Also - I'm wearing a blue tie.
The AE loafers might be okay (less flashy and more formal than the Gucci ones). You're probably fine either way. As long as the tie is a notably different shade from the suit you're good there.
Thank you I appreciate the input!
