1000 threads like this on the forum, but I won't tell you to use the search function because it's a breath of fresh air when a fashion topic pops up.

Never wear a black suit unless for a formal event, guaranteed your supervisors will chuckle. That being said since you already purchased one, make sure you wear it with a blue shirt and not white https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cy-ZzH5iPE4/maxresdefault.jpg

If you only have one suit, you shouldn't recycle it. My advice is to just avoid the suit and dress well without it (aka no parachute white shirt)

Grey, not too light

Some suits come as separates but generally, jacket and trousers are one size. E.g. 38. Look up their size guide on every detail page to get measurements.

 

Piru Red or Pink Panther Pink.

Ok seriously though: Dark blue or Dark Grey - no stripes though, as then it looks weird to wear stripey ties.

Or black with a bit of shine, not plain black.

 

A friend of mine owns a light grey Napoli (the rather modern cut one) and it looks pretty great on him. Definitely more of a summer thing, though.

 

I personally think that it might be perceived as preposterous from a mere SA. Don't forget that it could mean that you dress better than a senior of yours. If you were to buy one, I would advise you to go for the striped one as the other is to casual for the workplace. l

Really? The first suit or BB in general? I was under the impression that BB was pretty much the standard for SA/Analysts in IBD?

 

Assuming you're a college student, don't wear pinstripes or anything fancy to an interview, as some might view it in bad taste. Just go with basic solid colors. Black/charcoal is by the far the most common.

 

Mid grey or any other grey between mid grey and charcoal (of which there are infinitely many) is obviously number 4. Also, there is true navy, bright navy, midnight blue, different weaves etc. Don't think cause you have "blue" and "charcoal" you're covered.

 

Thanks for the advice, didn't know that forum existed, my bad.

Everyone else agrees, its fine?
