The reason I am asking is because I have 1 suit!.....LOL
Avoiding looking like an idiot and wearing the same suit, I am considering going in with a shirt and tie.
Is this acceptable?
Thanks.

No -- Suit up! Go and buy a new shirt and tie if you feel wierd about it. Trust me -- no one is going to notice its the same suit.
Good Luck with the interview!!

I think a suit always makes a good impression and I would wear it. If it is the same one you wore to the first interview how about a different shirt or tie?

You are a guy , guys change the shirt , Not the suit .
Only skip the suit if you want to spend more time watching soap operas and eating candy bars .
Then buy 5 shirts to get you through the work week .

Wear the suit! Wear a different colored shirt and different kind of tie. you may be able to use a lapel pin to set of the suit. Does the suit have a vest you can wear that along with the different colored shirt & tie.
Do not show up in shirt and tie!
You can wear a blue blazer with grey pants with coloer shirt and tie, that would be acceptable.

Wear the suit!
You are likely to meet a new person on your second interview, and the chances are that that person has a lot of say in whether or not you get the job.
You only have one chance to make a good impression.
The recruiter might remember you as the guy who wore the suit, the other person you meet might not. They might not care, but it's not a chance I'd want to take!

It depends on the type of job you are applying for (what career), and how casual the office is. A good rule of thumb is to dress one level ABOVE the job you are seeking.
For example, if you are applying for a sales rep position, dress like a supervisor. If you are looking to become a supervisor, dress like a manager or director.
If you need a jacket, see if you have any friends that can lend you one. If the office is more casual, a nice shirt and tie with dress pants and dress shoes should be okay.
Good luck!

Wear the suit but change your shirt to another color, and change the tie. Than just wear the same jacket & pants. No one will even notice.

It may not be neccesary but it is probably expected. Suits are esentually the uniform of the business world. Even if you have only one suit you can mix it up with different shirts and ties.
If you are still worried take off the jacket but still carry it with you just act like you're hot.

Wear your suit with a different tie. They won't notice unless it is pin-stripes.
