Question about suit for business meeting

Is this suit appropriate for a business meeting with clients? It is oxford cloth, with navy and white thread. In person, it appears more grey than navy.

This is the insurance industry and we are expected to wear a suit to visit clients. The clients' dress varies, but is usually business casual.

Personally, I'd prefer a darker suit. Better conveys the desired sense of gravitas. I'm curious to see what others will say.

Where are you located? Might make a difference.

Cheers,

Not really. Rather too light in colour except on the hottest of summer days.

I would fire your company instantly if I was the client and you walked into a meeting wearing that suit.

Honest answer, nobody really cares what suit you wear. If you like it, wear it.
