Otherwise I agree with Mike B and thank him for weighing in. A few more thoughts: the risk of the black suit is looking like an undertaker, so be careful. No crazy ties. Make sure socks match each other (I always check socks now when I do my interview suit critique) and are solid. Make sure the belt buckle is plain --one of my students was sporting Playboy bunny ears on his belt buckle--maybe the guys at Goldman would have liked it but I wouldn't risk it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> More to add later on but this is a good start.</blockquote>
