best colour of suit for sixth form

I'm starting sixth form in September and I want a suit that looks nice but doesn't look like it's for the prom what colour is the best.

Probably go for grey, it's probably one of the best colours for a more formal work-like experience. I wouldn't wear a bow tie either, that's definitely more of a prom thing : )

agreed no bow tie, you will look like an idiot...

I do find it quite bizarre that in England some sixth forms require professional clothing and not a uniform.
I’m quite comfy with my uniform, plus it’s easier to wear the same thing every day.

Totally agree with you and people from less fortunate backgrounds suffer the most from this "Proffesional Clothing" thing... I come from a maybe slighty less than average family in England and I know my parents had to save up to get me 2 suits...

That’s very true, it can be quite discriminatory to people from less advantaged backgrounds. However, for me anyway, my school used to be quite... up there in terms of class and academics, but now it’s seen a higher proportion of students coming from more disadvantaged backgrounds. Very good that they are making their education more accessible, however the very expensive uniform has not been reviewed in a looong time, only disadvantaging these students more. Whats more, we aren’t allowed to wear our own scarves in winter??? I mean??
