Generally, I do see darker suits at interviews, but I think this looks nice and would be fine in most professional contexts outside of interviews. Personally, I wouldn’t care if someone showed up to interview in this, but I can’t speak for everyone.

 

Agree with others above, if it's your entry / first suit ever, I would personally recommend going with something darker.

And over time, you can acquire different colors like dark / heather gray to lighter shades of blue, such as the above.

But overall, it's a nice looking suit, I wouldn't hold it against you if I saw you wearing that.

Get Jiggy With It
 

That is an acceptable suit. It would be a little out of place in the most formal type of settings (ie - in a boardroom) but if that is what you go with most people won’t be like “the hell is that?”

I personally would like a darker blue unless you already have one. Something more like below. It isn’t that much different. This difference doesn’t really matter. But this is something I would choose before the one you are looking at if this is my first blue suit

 

Et corporis rerum quae. Occaecati esse assumenda optio. Officia est consequatur est illum sunt iste. Unde quo enim sint enim et.
