I recently bought 1 good size 36S Brown suit from K & G [$100], my only good man's suit! Otherwise, I have over 90+ women's suits, - but I can't interview or work in those... Too bad! I'd be so chic and professionally dressed and pretty!
I'd go white shirt for interview. Dark gray or Navy for suit color, and have tie coordinate without too much flash. Unless your in some type of design job. But I guess you wouldnt be a suit for that. Black shoes, lace up. No side buckles.
Well, on another blog that I participate in, one guy mentioned that it is important if you buy your suit off the rack, then to take it to a tailor to get it tailored. He said that an average looking suit, will look like a million bucks, if if fits hangs on your body well.
good luck
Well my preference for a guy in a suit, would be fliecked grey. I am not fond of black or solid colors. Not sure what color for a tie, but yellow pastels seem to be popular on the Apprentice.
I usually go for either a navy, dark gray, or black suit with either a white or light blue shirt. Depending on my shirt, I would wear either a dark burgundy or navy tie.

Yup, you should always get your suit tailored to fit right. Jacket sleeves should not cover your hands when your arms are down, and pants should not be baggy (or too tight) or too long. Pant legs should just cover the top of your shoe while standing. It bugs me when people buy suits in the wrong size to be "cool".
Although I never wear a suit I was always taught to go dark with a white shirt. And I have often heard of the red tie.
I normally wear a white shirt and dark pants with a deep red patterned tie. Second interview I might even go with a deep blue shirt and similar tie. I don't like to be too flashy. And I like a nice solid black dress shoe. Not those slip on kind either But that isn't because of the interview, I just like a nice pair of shoes
A nice pinstripe suite with white shirt and matching tie always works.
In actuality you can go two ways. If you are familiar with a companies culture then try to dress accordingly. If it's extremely conservative the blue, black or grey suite with a white shirt and solid tie.
If you are looking at a company that is business casual or casual (jeans) then I would suggest blue, brown, black grey or pinstripe with a solid color shirt and tie.
You can almost never overdress for a job interview but you can take the attention of the interviewer if you look like the above gentleman.
