Don't ever buy black unless it is a dinner jacket or a morning coat. Get a dark charcoal instead - it will always be appropriate for all suit-wearing occasions and can be dressed to be more lively (for weddings, etc.), more business-like (for interviews, etc.) or more sombre (for funerals), depending in each case on the shirt and tie you combine it with.
If this is your only suit (for the time-being), I would get a simple cloth with no pattern or stripe. As you increase the number of suits in your wardrobe, you can always branch out.
P.S. Where is your avatar photo from? I don't recognise it from either the TV series or the recent film of Brideshead Revisited.
Oh its a Teddy Bear I purchased from a Teddy Bear hospital, ( his previous owner didn't have health cover) missing a button (eye) but I adore him, anyway, we are inseperable realy, these days.
I see - it is actually you in the photo?
Why ever not buy a black suit?
You will find views polarised on this one and any attempt to count the votes merely represents whoever responds.
Make your own mind up on this one, they are a quite normal part of men's everyday wardrobes now.
Back before WWII black suits were known as "Sunday suits" and available through the JCPenny catalog. It's only been recently (the last 50 years) that they went out of style. Before that they were the most common color available, a suit for "everyman".
Slow down, you'll get a more harmonious outcome.
I tend to agree with Max Flash. I wear a suit daily for business and no one in my industry (finance/banking) wears a black suit. There are undoubtedly functions such as a funeral where you might prefer black, or perhaps your work place requires it for some reason but I am only submitting my personal observation that these are seldom seen for business.
ON the other hand, if you are a Matrix fan, you will feel like Agent Smith if you wear it with a black tie and silver tie bar and a pair of minimal sunglasses. I actually purchased an inexpensive Italian suit (websites all over the net for these, even Amazon) for a Matrix costume and it was perfect, notched and buttonholed lapels, double rear vents, plain front trousers. Hugo Weaving, watch out.
Trying for 'Sigmund Freud' but ended with 'Willie Nelson', instead.
I work at Macy's, and the dress code is black suits everyday. It's pretty boring, but I've learned to deal with it.
I asked a former employee why he thought the dress code was what it was (it's a recent change apparently) and he said he thought the concept was "cocktail party".

Based on the replies it appears one either owns a black suit or the suit owns them. I accept the former...
This is a timely issue as I just yesterday purchased this vintage black suit.
