    Ask the MB: Black Suit for Work

    Q: Black suit: Is a slim fit black suit a good move for the office and, if so, how should it be accessorized? I prefer to reserve black for evening events, but I'd like to go beyond the navy and charcoal options. (I either don't like light-colored suits, or I don't look good in them...I'm not sure which.)
    —JY

    A: A black suit — slim-fit or otherwise — is only a good move for exactly two occasions:

    1. Funerals
    2. Auditioning for a gangster role in a Tarantino pic

    If you're bored with navy and charcoal and can't do light colors, try a pattern like a windowpane, pinstripe, or our favorite, Glen plaid like this one from Ralph Lauren
