Heyas,
You REALLY can't go wrong with a charcoal grey suit, and it will be usable for something other than an airline interview.
Personally, I went to an old school men's shop and bought a name brand, and they tailored to fit perfectly. I would have looked like a million bucks if it weren't for the fact that it was ME in the suit, so it came out looking like only $1000.
But never mind, grey suit, white shirt and a VERY subtle "slightly-lighter-than maroon "tie with a VERY small grey check pattern (which matched then then-current AC paint job). Had a blue tie for the next day.
Got hired. Smiles all around.
In the end, the suit doesn't really matter, as long as it's not the leisure variety. Make sure it fits, is clean and pressed and looks professional. It helps if it is of reasonably recent vintage.
But as a rule, I'd stay away from off colored suits, like kakhi or olive. If you show up in a sport jacket or a cordaroy suit or looking like the absent minded professor with a tweed jacket and mix-matched checkboard shirt/tie, then you look like a doofus.
I know it's hard, but you DON'T need to obsess over this, nor do you need to look totally GQ.
