It seems much more common for women to wear black suits. IMO, men's black suits appear cheap (and often are), lack depth, and interest. They're also not particularly flattering on fair skinned folks. Charcoal is much more versatile.

Agreed with PWC2, black is for funerals and black tie events only. For work, if you want a dark suit, go with really dark grey. Difference may be subtle but crucial

I've done it, no big deal. Depends on what tie you wear.

I moved a black suit into the rotation and love it. Material choice is important. You don't want it to look like a tuxedo. I also am selective at which clients / meetings I'll wear it.

Only if you're a waiter.

Are you going to a funeral after words ?

What about for women?

I do black suit with white shirt and vibrant tie to good effect

Black for a man's suit feels heavy and unimaginative. Unless for funeral or other formal event. So many other great choices. Fine for women, though. Go figure.

You know what I love? Managers that tell you to do one thing and you do it. Then when a Client, SM, or PPMD questions your actions they go SILENT🙃. No support or explanation , and you’re left to defend yourself/actions. You ain’t Casper or a mute, so don’t act like one🗣.

Hey everyone! I am a CPA, started at PwC, now the assistant controller at a small/medium sized Ag company. Thus far, the plan has been to follow the CFO path. But recently I have been longing for more social/client facing interactions. I am very extroverted. I love meeting and connecting with new people and would like to incorporate that into my career. Any thoughts on possible career paths that would combine my experience in accounting with a more socially fulfilling job?

Thanks I’m advance!
