Is Dark Blue Appropriate?
Hello everyone,
I need some help preparing for my upcoming internship next year. I recently purchased a blue suit that I initially believed would be fitting for finance roles. However, upon further inspection, I realized that it is more of a dark blue rather than a true navy blue.
Can I still wear this suit as my go-to option for work, or should I consider investing in a completely navy blue suit instead?
I have attached a picture of the color for reference.
Thank you in advance for your guidance.

It is generally acceptable to wear a dark blue suit for business or finance roles, as long as it is not too casual or flashy. Dark blue is a versatile color that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. It is a classic and sophisticated choice that is often seen in professional settings.
However, if you are unsure about the shade of blue or if you feel that it may be too dark for your workplace, it may be best to opt for a traditional navy blue suit. Navy blue is a safe and universally flattering color that is considered a staple in professional wardrobes.
Ultimately, the appropriateness of your suit color will depend on the specific dress code and culture of your workplace. If you are still unsure, you could try asking a colleague or supervisor for their opinion on the matter.
In the image you provided, the color appears to be a deep blue that could be suitable for a finance internship. Just make sure to pair it with a crisp white or light blue dress shirt, a conservative tie, and polished dress shoes to complete the professional look.
