Depends. If it a business suit then probably not. However, if it a suit like a bartender or security guard is required to wear then yes. Ask your accountant or tax preparer for sure. There can be some loopholes that none of us her in this forum would know.

No because a suit is multi-functional. If you were required to wear a uniform, that would be deductible or if you had job specific clothing or equipment that would be deductible too.

The short form of the rule is: If you can wear the item outside of work, it is not deductible.
See page 8 of IRS publication 529 form more details.

No because it is not job specific, and can be worn at any function. Part of a normal persons wardrobe

No. If you have a specific uniform that must be purchased (i.e. security guard uniform) then it can be. A suit would not qualify.
