Grey suit, black shirt, dark-brown shoes?

My company annual dinner is coming up soon, and I'm once again fretting over what to wear.

After last year's cop-out (I used existing separates in my wardrobe), I'm keen to get a proper suit this year. But no black suits please.

I'm considering the above combo, and have been window shopping around to find a suitable buy. Managed to see a few suitable grey suits at Zara, Topshop, and Robinsons (a new brand from Korea called Mind Bridge).

The search continues this weekend. Still wondering if I should blow up to S$300 on an outfit that I'll probably end up wearing only once a year (or even less, if I don't want to wear the same suit every year). Our hot & humid weather isn't exactly suitable for wearing suits too...

Postscript (29 April 2010): something like this? Looks nice, but I wonder what tie to wear with a black shirt...

"25 rules that will make you a better-dressed, more cost-conscious man..."
Nice suggestions by GQ. Too bad J.Crew and H&M aren't available in Singapore.
