The only suit I have is black but I've seen some people say that it is not appropriate in a job interview setting what do you guys think?

You can... however, in most countries, a black suit is not a business suit, and it will look odd. But it is not a major offense, if you pair it with a plain shirt (white) and a tie.
Just beware you will need a different suit for day to day work...
Hey there :)
Yes, you can wear a black suit, it’s still professional. Navy or grey is more common, but black is fine if it’s well-fitted and paired with a light shirt and subtle tie.

Hi there,
I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:
- Contrary to what other coaches have said, black suits are usually seen as more formal or evening wear rather than typical business attire.

Hi there,
There are no issues with wearing a black suit.
Hi there,
Yes, you can definitely wear a black suit to an interview as long as it’s clean, well-fitted, and paired with a professional shirt and tie.

It's perfectly fine, don't worry about it.
Hi,
Coming from a perspective of an interviewer previously, if you wore a black suit (or no suit even) and you cracked my case, I'd still hire you. Because 99% of the other interviewees did not manage to.
Don't stress out about it.
