Does a Teal Suit Work?

Pretty bad with my formal wear knowledge. This isn't my first suit and I dont plant to use it for interviews but do plan to use it for business purposes. This is a really dark shade and I just wanted to see if it still works

Definitely not what I had in mind when seeing the title. Suits looks okay - but like you stated, I think I would go with the traditional charcoal/navy for interviews.

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

Probably fine. Two caveats:

1) I'd want to see it in person before I bought it. Colors on a computer monitor can be misleading. 2) It looks passable in a professional setting because of how close to navy it is. But if you're standing next to someone else in a traditional navy suit, the green hue might really stand out by comparison.

 

As others have said, my biggest complaint is that Indochino has the balls to call that color teal. It looks navy to me. I will echo the others who have cautioned to see the color in person and to see how it looks next to a true navy, which could be an issue. Also, in the US northeast, that looks like it would only be usable from October to April given the weight of the material.

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.
