This suprises me, it always seemed like black would be a good basic way to go, but it sounds like a black suit is "out there". Is there anyone with suit buying experice who can explain this to me? Thanks and happy benzing.

I am a trial lawyer (a prosecutor), so part of my job involves gaining the jury's trust and confidence.

black and browns are not very good colors. They invoke the wrong kinds of associations. (Brown = Hitler's Youth and Black = Mafia).

You cannot go wrong with blue or grey. Light pinstripes are nice in both grey and blue suits. White shirt or light blue shirt. Conservative ties.

President Bush, regardless of where you stand on the political fence, is a very good dresser. Watch what he wears and go for it. Governor Arnold is a Hollywood type, so his style of dress is too "out there." Don't imitate him until after you become rich and sucessful.

Remember, you want to gain people's trust and confidence. You are not out to make a fashion statement.

Good luck
