Sharkskin fabric is always a good starting point for designers who are looking for inspiration to create something totally new in the suit world. When you start with fabric that is as non conformist as sharkskin, something is bound to be created that is different that what you may be used to. You certainly shouldn't wear a suit with this type of fabric to work because of the lack of formality to it. Suits that are made of sharkskin fabric are simply too stylish for any work environment that is an office environment. Keep those shiny suits for more fun places and entertainment situations and you'll be on the right track.
