Next suit suggestions? (pic of current suit inside)

[Mr. Moo]

So far, I have one (

) good suit and one suit that's sort of middle of the road that I'll probably not wear again. Sadly, both of them are dark navy pinstripe. Here's my good suit:

Where do I go from here? I kind of want a grey suit, but what kind of grey (light, dark, plain, checkered, etc.?) Or not grey at all? Looking to keep it in the $300-400 range (I know I can find something of pretty good quality for that on the B&S and eBay). Need some advice.

I think solid gray or charcoal would be of no harm. Both of them always come handy one day.

Go with a solid grey, not pin- or chalkstripe. Charcoal might be a bit dark for just your third suit and second color. Something closer to a medium grey color will be the most versatile, which should be a concern if you're planning on holding out a while before your next suit purchase after this.

Alright, so looks like medium grey is on top so far. Can you post an example of the color you're thinking of?

like this (or maybe a tad lighter - though not as light as in my avatar):

There's of course also plain navy, have a look at Will's article here: http://asuitablewardrobe.dynend.com/...e-of-navy.html
