Plaid Suits to the Office as an Analyst?

I'm interested in this suit:

as you can see, it has a very subtle plaid pattern. Is this fine for the office or should I go for something solid?

I just bought a suit that looks pretty much exactly like that.

Although you can take that tid bit of information with a large grain of salt as I'm sitting here at work wearing jeans, Puma tennis shoes and an argyle sweater, so dress code isn't my forte.

make it hard to spot the general by working like a soldier
 

+1 button collar with a suit = nubz. and the collar spread is not wide enough to justify showing the sides of the knot; should have tried a double 4-in-hand or a pratt/half windsor. color's whack, too.

 

Thanks for replying. I get what you're saying, I just thought it was a good price and would look okay during the winter. Also, wanted to get opinions on whether the fabric is too much for an intern.

 

/I think the plaid is so subtle that you don't have to worry about it and if you're getting a deal at $350 then it's probably a good deal! But if you're paying $600 for it, I'd consider looking at custom options overseas!
