If you’re serious about the position/interview.. I would.

Always better to be over dressed than undressed. It shows you’re seriously interested.

It never hurts to be “overdressed” regardless of the industry or position you are applying for.

I’ve even dressed up for a part time position working at a local small business.. and guess what. I got the job even without having any relatable experience.

Why would you not???

I've always thought formality to that extent in zoom interviews is kinda stupid. I'd prefer just wearing something like an Oxford shirt

Sure! That would be better. It will only show that you are serious about the job.

yes

Better to be overdressed than underdressed...

I would. I always dress to impress. It will make you stand out if nothing else.
