Graduation suit

[Miguel Antonio]

Friends please tell me what do you think of this event:
On graduation day I went to a decent dressing place in a big commercial center.
The person that sells stuff there, choosed a black dress for me with a black thin Guido Vietri belt. He also choosed a black tie, grey shirt and I had a pair of matching black shoes. Did he choose well?

As it's the only suit I have, I have had problems when I go to a business interview or something formal. I feel very uncomfortable with that suit. And it's because black suits make me feel heavy and stupid. Is this normal?

That outfit is nothing to be ashamed of - wear it comfortably and do not take notice of others.

I would feel uncomfortable in a black dress as well.

I beleive the word you were looking for is "chose"

+1 on GBR. What you've described is a quite stylish look, though not necessarily business-conservative. For interviews, you could wear a white shirt and a conservative tie (look at brooksbrothers.com for ideas) and this might make you feel like you fit in a little better.

If you were looking to get a second suit, plain navy or dark-grey to charcoal would be a good choice.

I'm not looking for orthography lessons, however thank you very much
for your acute observation.
Note: I'm a spanish speaker. So mistakes in my english are expected.

The conservative tie par excellence is blue, I hope.

Ah, sorry

. I thought you were English and in which case I would've asked what school you went to so I wouldn't.

Anyway I'd rather go for a white shirt and a tie with a little "pop" to it.

Go Britannia!

Note: I'm seriously thinking in moving to London. (Hope you don't mind)
