This suit by JCPenny is acceptable for an interview. The pattern is so subtle and at first I thought they put Glen Plaid in error...as it looks nothing like the bespoke POW suits that I have

Because the pattern (if noticeable at all when within a few feet of you), appears so subtle, it makes for a nice grey suit. Paired with a few light blue shirts and you will be fine.

Try it on first of all. If the fit is good, that is very important. This is a non-threatening suit. Besides as a lawclerk or paralegal...especially in San Jose...you will likely be wearing sweaters more often than the jacket from this suit. If you really like the suit's fit, see if they will allow you to purchase a second trouser...as you will be giving the trouser more wear & tear than the jacket...and often, will have the jacket hung up as you work

May your interview go well and hope the job works out for you. Now go grab this suit...but make sure you try it on first before you buy it.
