I like dark gray suits. I loathe taupe, but it's probably just me.
We have snowpocalypse. We got what looks like close to two inches in less than two hours, and it's snowing away.
Darn your sinister attraction!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
A black suit looks either mafiosi or gummint. The taupe would look good on you. Or a nice charcoal with a subtle pinstripe. Navy's probably less versatile, but still nice.

I've worn black to funerals and weddings, but I'm a girl. I've also not worn black to a funeral and worn red to a wedding. A slinky sexy red dress.
I'm possibly not the person to ask. It also depends on the locale. Had some fun conversation about dress at lisah's wedding. No condemnation, just some folks being able to identify the locals vs out of towners by the outfits. Apparently, us Baltimoreans tend more to funky, though not exclusive.

In the costume world, a 2 button suit means "I am an FBI agent." A three or four button suit means "I am evil or a priest or both."
ETA or, as Beverly says, Mafia. Although that is mostly with a black shirt and white tie :)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Of course, I've never really thought about it since I've never gone to a funeral and don't ever intend to.
?
None at all?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's true -- I've noticed it when I was there!
FYI y'all -- Downton Abbey on Masterpiece is good times.

Or CorpGoth! Or, black suit + red tie = Revenge era MCR fan.
I vote black suit. My opinion is probably suspect.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, I also bought this tie at Ross since I don't have any black ties. I think it was the most expensive tie on the rack, at a whopping $12.99.
Jilli! I saw the GCS book in Games of Berkeley yesterday. I was excited.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A black suit looks either mafiosi or gummint.
Or angel!
Or, really, completely normal. I see them all the time.
