Yeah, for black and white you could do black pants, a white dress shirt, and a black tie.
That's what I was hoping for. I found a pretty nice tie.
But you need a suit anyway, something fairly neutral, and good for a lot of occasions if you'll only have the one for a while.
Yeah, I pulled out the old suit I have, and it actually does vaguely fit, but it's not really a good suit. I do need to get a real suit for myself. The Internet seems to say my first suit should be navy or dark blue, but if I need a black suit for Friday, well. But Men's Wearhouse has a sale where if you buy one suit, you get the second for $100, so I might take advantage of that. I don't know what I would do with two suits, though.
If you get a black suit, you need another one much lighter, maybe a gray pinstripe. Even a taupe.
Gray? I don't want to wear
gray.
It's so...gray.

I don't see why. How about a nice gray?
Edit: Or...not.
brenda wins.
How about this, P-C? [link]

That was the other option.
After doing a Google Image search, I think my image of a gray suit is less cool than what a gray suit actually looks like. So maybe gray is not bad.

Ooh, that's nice. And I think the black one the guy recommended me was also that price, so that could work out with the deal.
Black suit is handy if you need to attend a funeral, and anyway around the Bay Area it's a stylish look.
Gray is a lot more versatile than either black or navy, in my opinion.
