IMO blue suit means nothing venture nothing gained. When I first started out I got the normal dark blue, brown suits because someone said I had to have them. I ended up not wearing either because the color combos never worked for me. Not everyone looks good in blue, and dark blue is really the worst colors if you're fair haired and fair skinned. Unless you're a judge or undertaker, there's no reason these days to stick with "traditional" colors no matter what business you're in.

Stay away from the preppie look if you don't go to school out east, ditto on the socks and remember that the thicker the sock the less formal. Black Oxfords work for most occasions if you're even thinking of shoes right now.

Your goal, whatever color combination you decide to get, should be to wear colors which highlight your features and make people focus on you when you speak. You should be formal enough to convey authority without calling too much attention to your dress.
