Trouser suit help.

please can I get your suggestions for a black trouser suit that will look smart on a rectangle body shape.

Measurements are something like 44-40-44, and I’m 5ft 6in.

What would look stylish but not out there . Don’t mind spending around the £300-£400 for the right thing.

I need to be able to move easily and quickly, both arms and legs, so it absolutely can’t be restrictive.

It’s for work, but I work in the evenings. I’m a musician.

@JustOnePersonNotAnOctopus would a tuxedo suit be too over the top? There are loads available on the High Street.

I just don’t think I could pull a tuxedo suit off!

Oh, I do like that, can I ask is the material very slippy?

No, it is very soft and has a great weight. I thought the material would look cheap, but no, not slippy at all.
