(Too) blue suit?

Hi everyone,

I just got a new suit this morning and while I absolutely love it, I am starting to wonder whether it's too blue for an IBD environment (this is not for an interview). It is close to the following in terms of color: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/64/0a/b…

"Maybe Paris". Yeah, that's probably why. Looks OK to me but we might be a little more fashion-forward over here.

Yeah, it would be too much in London or NYC. Maybe, maybe London if you were a big swinging dick, a bit of a dandy and just didn't give a shit what anyone thought of you but in the more entry levels it just stands out, and not in a good way. I saw your name and thought it could work there actually. I met with a Parisian hedge fund manager who was wearing something pretty similar a few years ago but he was one of the top few guys. I couldn't say if it would be appropriate for younger guys in Paris though.
