How to dress for back-office/middle-office at a BB

I start tomorrow at a BB's regulatory department in the South. Should I ditch the blazer (navy along with pants BTW) and stick with a dress shirt+tie? Do the pants have to be navy?

I feel like I look better with the blazer + no tie, but this isn't acceptable, right?

Do PE funds stop caring about certain investments once the fund has crushed it?I'm tracking a distressed high yield issuer right now that is owned by a prominent PE firm within an older vintage fund (they've since raised several multi-billion dollar funds). The fund itself also holds several other assets that have crushed it, and thus the fund itself is top...
