New Suit - what say ye!

[tino]

Hmm, yes, a matter of personal taste but navy blue can work well too. Personally I have a problem with navy blue; somehow I struggle to see the difference between dark blue and black, which means I am liable to put on a black jacket with blue trousers of vice versa. I even once bought a dark blue car thinking it was black. I always check with the shop assistant whether something really is black before buying it.

I prefer Navy as it means I can wear brown shoes and belt as opposed to the normal black

Ken Clarke does that with grey suits. I wouldn't recommend it.

Good idea. I’ll advise the ladies.

That’ll be a burqa for Anne Widdecombe and a black latex nun’s outfit (à la Cailin Maith) for Caroline Flint.

When's DodgyAgent going to comment? As an agent he must surely be THE expert on suits.

How about something for the special occasion in nice, practical polyester?

NB, when researching, do NOT do a search for "man in polyester suit" (NSFW).

It's actually a homage to my idol Dick Advocaat

It takes a certain type of man to carry it off with some panache
