Hell, never posted on this thread.

Now I have.

Black suits are for the undertaker.

And, btw, people actually do call me H-Bomb ---- not that that has anything to do with my personality; in fact it was simply the consequent quirk of having a name beginning with the letter h... no, really.

I wear black suits to work quite often, and I work in a conservative business environment (law firm) in a conservative market (DC). Nobody has ever said a word to me about it and I don't believe my overall evaluations have suffered in the slightest (I even wore a black suit to my last annual review, which was quite favorable).


edit. i mistakenly thought that i saw feb 2006, not feb 2005 when i opened the first page. yeah, i knew the thread existed, but quasi-ignored it when it was going on. whatever. i deleted my whole post since it was kind of pointless.

Ah Ha! The real reason some folks keep saying not to wear black suits! So all the black suits get marked way way down and they can scoop them up for a fraction of the original price! That must be it.
