Interview for a position at PwC this week. I’ve lost 60 lbs since my last suit. This is all I can find in time. Does this work, or just I go find a navy/charcoal suit.?

First of all, congrats on the weight-loss (unless it wasn’t intentional and due to some ailment). I think youre probably fine. If you have time and $$$, I’d go find a darker colour suit but it’s not the end of the world if you can’t.

I showed up to my interview without a suit or tie - just kick ass - if they care more about the color of the suit than the quality of your candidacy then you don’t want to work there

That's fine, just wear a white shirt and simple patterned tie

Bet that will do. What practice area?

That will work. I previously worked at PwC, interviewed in a similar light grey suit, & got the job.

Will be fine - hope it goes well!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

+1 on the white shirt: contrast will make the grey look darker

+2 the above. I interviewed in a grey suit and blue shirt and landed the offer. Which is then rejected because they accepted that I was in a grey suit. Jk. You will be fine

As long as the suit fits, isn’t black (like you’re going to a funeral), or some wild color, you’re good to go. White, light blue, or lavender shirts will be fine with a darker tie to contrast. IMO Go black shoes with the white and lavender or dark brown with the light blue.
