I have a three button grey suit and a heavy wool pinstriped suit. Is that enough?

We know nothing of your life. If you wear a suit everyday, you probably could use more. If you only wear one when somebody dies, you probably overshot it.
Assuming you wear a suit 4-5 days a week I would recommend adding another solid color to your rotation. Solid colors are a less memorable design and will help when your selection is limited. Giving each of your suits a second day to rest will help with their longevity too. A solid navy suit will be stand out just enough to be easily recognizable as not one of your others but blend in enough so that it allows your shirts and ties to be the main backdrop of your ensemble.
OP, if you're interning at a firm that requires suits, I would recommend getting 2 more suits, solids, in either navy, gray or charcoal. You will also require 2 pairs of oxfords, one dark brown, one black, to be worn on alternate days. Pics of the suits would be helpful in judging their appropriateness for a first year intern. Also, what kind of firm is it?
Don't forget the matching shoe selection, though.Originally Posted by bluesman528
