Run and Gun has brought out alot of new tasteful and chic fashions that one could use for white collar or corporate crime.  The type where you can go into parties or high class businesses with your fake IDs and forged invitations and with all the high tech gadgets that you can put in these power suits what is your white collar criminal suit.  For me mine is the Synergistic Business Line for with Long Coat having a concealed holster for a small pocket piece and then add in a key card copier rating 6, with a Sequencer Rating 6 and Autopicker Rating 6 for those corporate B&E job.  Not to worried about the coat however because if it is a really classy party or location they are going to take your coat at the door.  :P  But the little extra armor when making escape or having to get to location is a god send.

Executive Suite. Same protection as the Synergist line and though it lacks the holster and a little capacity, it's almost half the cost and it increases your social limit wirelesslessly.

I prefer the Berwick suit. Getting an actual dice bonus is preferable to a limit increase, plus you can throw one of the coats over the top and have a respectable level of armour.

For meeting the Johnson, also the Berwick made of YNT Softweave.  Lockpick Kit, Pulseweave, and Non-Conductivity.  I keep an extra Lockpick Kit in my Skin Pocket, but I'd rather not advertise that I have a Skin Pocket and it's a hassle to take off my jacket/oxford to get to it.  The Pulseweave pushed the availability high enough that I had to buy extra dice, but since I'm the face (and generally lightly armed for Johnson meets), I really felt like I needed some sort of equalizer in case things go sideways in a meet.  Non-Conductivity since I figured this is my public suit so I'd be most likely to face non-lethal weapons while wearing it.  My Sleeping Tiger went with Fire Resist/Chem. Resist on the assumption that I'd be wearing that in more hostile environments.

Under the Berwick (and essentially everything else) I wear YNT FFBA simply for the Thermal Dampening.

Being realistic? Executive Suite with Second Skin on underneath it.

If I had unlimited money and an insane social limit with skills that need it? Light hardened mil-spec battle armor painted in the colors of Iron Man. Bluff any cops who ask that I'm advertising a superhero trid.

I gotta stick with the old classic:  Actioneer Business Clothes, the older ones without anything wireless.  Concealed Holster and no AROs to give you away.

I still have a love for my Actioneer Suit, got room for a lot of upgrades itself but multiple suits for multiple occasions helps too.  I'm fond of the old Mortimor stuff, I like the Berwick Dress with a concealed holster too. :)
BTW what is a ARO?

Augmented Reality ... Object? It's an AR icon that you can show to others, configuring who gets to see it. Some clothing contains spam-RFID tags to advertize their creators. "Why is there a piece of wool underwear in my air vents?" asked the Spider.

One way of using them is for a Decker to score 2 marks on commlinks, trace the icons, then share the trace results as an ARO that they send to their teammates, so every teammate with an Image Link connected to their comm, or a Trodes Net, can 'see' the indicator of where enemies are. Allows you to fire at them through walls.

Yes, Augmented Reality Objects (ARO) are pretty much that.  They're also, most likely, the reason some gear has wireless bonuses.

"Is that a real Zoe suit?  No, no, the ARO is all wrong, it's a knockoff.  Poser."

Well there is a simple way to deal with that when doing stuff that is considered illegal.  Turn off the wireless on the suit.
