Formal Suits

Never been a fan of the full on suit. Don't do ties or blazers unless I really feel I need to.

I start a new job next month and will be required to meet clients on a regular basis. With that said I think I'll need to start investing some monies in suits

.

I'd like to get myself at least 2 suits before the end of this month. Spending no more than 100.00gbp on each. Small budget I know. However, I'm not prepared to spend 300.00+ on suits just yet.

Do any of you know where I might find some decent looking suits?!

No links to MrPorter please.

Forgot M&S make clothes too. Will check them out.

I might be able to add another 0.50p

What? That's like saying you forgot McDonald's also make burgers.

I usually only buy milk, grapes and cereal from there.

Debenhams have some nice suits. I have 3 from there for work and are still looking good 2 years on. Also Next.

I personally would wait though until the New Year sales. I picked up a Debenhams and Next suit for £40 - £50 each in the sales.

I'll wait for the sales then.

If you're meeting clients and this is a customer-facing role then your suits should be considered as investments. A hundred pound suit can never look good and nor will it last so unless this is a short term solution I'd be raising my budget.

Agreed . However, I'd rather wait till my position has been solidified before investing 200+ on a suit.
