I think considering changing your dress to accommodate carry is definitely a good thing. From your description, our dress styles are pretty different (I don't even own a suit and intend to keep it that way as long as possible) but I still had to make some changes to my wardrobe to accommodate my pistol.
If you're willing to wear some sort of cover garment, my advice would be to carry in a strong side hip holster (either inside or outside the waistband) unless the situation calls for deep concealment. The exception to this might by while driving. Depending on your car's seats, a hip holster might be uncomfortable while driving, and it will certainly be difficult to access. You could go with another rig that's easier and comfortable to use while seated, like a crossdraw or shoulder holster, or you could get a holster attached to your vehicle and transfer the gun there when you sit down (check your local laws first, though).
Chris' advice that you may need different choices for different occasions is good, but I'd try to keep to a single method for as much of the time as possible. The last thing you want is to get into a situation where you need you're gun and be patting yourself down trying to remember where you're carrying it today.
