Where to buy a suit

Slam62 · 13 Aug 2017 at 08:42

Hi chaps, I need a 2 piece suit for daughters graduation, I'm not really a suit man and obviously don't like spending money on such things.
What's the best approach?

Thanks in advance

Best approach

Go to shop, pick and buy suit within budget...

Well your location says Monaco. If you are actually in the UK & know you won't wear it again you could hire it. If you are in Monaco I haven't a clue.

Debenhams, M&S, Next or John Lewis would be my destinations.

Picked up a nice 2 piece a few days ago for £75 from next

As someone who is suited and booted daily at work I favour Marks and Spencers due to being good value and long wearing. Their off the peg suits also seem to fit me perfectly.

ASDA for cheap and cheerful.

And synthetically sinful! Look at that stretch! Might as well punch through the bottom of the barrel and go full Primark.

Next and Debenhams are my go to places.

Check the size guides for each shop in advance. No point trying on stuff you'll need to alter anyway, if you need something quick. The averages they adopt aren't from universal samples, and the dither in adopted sizes can be as much as 1 inch + manufacturing tolerances.

I recommend Slaters if there's one close to you. Great service and all sorts of suits to fit different budgets.

TK Maxx.

Suitsupply.

Next has always worked for me, you can meet a great sub £100 suit which looks fantastic.

Saville row. Anything else is for paupers.

Yeah I've bought a couple from here and they are always super helpful and the suits seem decent

Slaters all the way mainly because they offer free alterations and even a cheap suit well fitted will look better than something 10x the price which isn't quite the right fit.

If the tailor does not come to you, there's still doubt.

If there's a Browns near you, check them out. That's where I bought my last suit & it was okay.

Or check charity shops. It's a long shot, but you can get some good stuff. One of our local charity shops has an Austin Reed in & apparently they're good. Sold an M&S one the other day too for a mere fiver.
