2) No button down collar
3) Post a picture of the suit with the jacket closed so we can see the fit (set the timer so we can see your arms by your side)
ITA w/ all the above.
I will say that black can be hot if you know how to snazzy it up. In general, the more black, the more formal it is considered. But American men need to learn about dressing and follow the Italian men. Specifically it's about properly tailored suits and clothing. Many Italians are taught this very early on in life. (It's not that buying off the rack is taboo per se. It's that buying off the rack and just wearing w/o proper tailoring is considered idiotic; and it's logical, b/c no one is actually "one size fits all.")
Never have I ever seen men dressed so perfectly well as when in Italy. They rock the suit because they get the need for a good tailor. (OK in Rome and many places I"ve been in Italy people walk or bike a lot more too.
🙂 ) They are also rocking mixed suit combos for certain situations--called spezzato.

The blue jacket with white pants in the pic, anatomical right, looks too wrinkly to me. The one with the black pants and grey suit looks better. The third one looks less wrinkled, but the jacket and pants shades don't work for me.

That all business look is nice. You're coming in, looking good, and meaning business.

An important meeting, job interview, etc., then a classic blue suit is the most appropriate choice. Of course, for most of the interviewers, this too will quickly become tiresome--especially if someone doesn't know how to do flair without doing overkill.
Regardless, the hottest thing in any suit should be the person. So, to me, that's what has to shine the most. If you look too mundane or too extreme, people may be less apt to see the all-important core.
