Best Shade of Navy Suit?

Which is the best shade of navy suit? Is it the dark navy one? http://suitored.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ar…

The lighter one? https://blacklapel.com/shop/suits/navy-blue-custo…

Or does it not matter?

Interested to hear what you think...

Would ding the Armani suit simply because it's a three-button - looks dated in my opinion. If colour's your only consideration, I'd still also go with the Black Lapel suit - the Armani suit is borderline black and I firmly believe you should never wear a black suit (unless it's a black tie event or a funeral)... Or if you're Italian.

You can definitely do better than these two options, though - especially if your budget is $500.

Lol, that BlackLapel model looks like he´s just sold you an 8-ball of coke, but half of it is actually baking soda.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.

Sadly, it's still better than the other one. 3 buttons and almost black? SMH (And not the semiconductor ETF)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
