Dress code: Lounge Suit - What to wear?

The easy way out to "deal" with a lounge suit dress code is to wear a black or dark grey suit.

The easy way out is "out" for me. One, because I don't have an existing suit (any colour). Two, I don't really want to wear a "boring" dark colour suit.

Hold on a second. There are ways and means to vary a dark suit, so that it's a bit different, for example, wearing a dark shirt beneath the suit, or going for a pinstripe pattern. Or maybe wearing a slim leather tie.

But since I don't wear suits everyday (or every month), I'm not exactly relishing the thought of buying a suit just for such an occasion. I do have a dark blazer bought in Thailand a few years ago, but that is my backup plan. (in case I can't find the time to shop for alternatives)

By the way, the occasion is this Saturday, so I don't have much time to play with...
