Matching black pinstripe suit?

[tradeagreement]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy a suit, which will probably be this http://www.menswearhouse.com/webapp/...0STRIPE_10051#

I need some help matching a dress shirt/tie to this suit (colours of shirt + tie should match black and white dress as well). Any suggestions?

Also, are pinstripe suits in style/viable?

Thanks!

Get navy or grey instead.

yeah..haha, it's my first one
the stripes don't look too busy, so that suit should be okay right?

+1 You'll have far more options for smart shirt and tie combinations.

Am I going to be the only person to scream DONT ******* GET THAT SUIT?!?!

450 for that piece of crap? It doesn't even look good on the model. You can do a lot better for that price.

+1 I don't usually hold with the forums "get it cheaper online" you can't check the fit etc. online, I would rather pay more and get it from a bricks and mortar shop, but that is an ugly suit and I am sure you could find better for the same price.

Bad idea. Never wear a belt with a waistcoat (vest). Check the B&S forum, buy from Bookster or order some suits from the UK come summer sale time. Also, BB on sale is about that price, so look at that.

Be sure to get it tailored to fit you well. I'd also recommend charcoal or navy instead of black.

You know that you can buy three suits from H&M for this price? I'm assuming that since this is your first suit, you're kind of young. I think that would be your better option.

Yes, H&M might be a much better option for you.
