Where to buy a suit?

BeatMaster · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:28

I'm going to need a suit but I'm not sure where to look for one and how much is about right to pay. I mean I'd like to get a nice one but just don't want to pay over the odds so where do you recommend?

Would it be worth waiting till January Sales or maybe anywhere got some good sales on now?

No more than £200, preferably mucho cheaper but nice. Thoughts and suggestions welcome

M&S do a great range

Joe T · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:32

Agreed. My suits come from M&S. No complaints.

Debenhams have a sale on at the mo, got some nice shirts from there recently.

Next do nice suits too, as do River Island. Get in a few places and try some on though, you're going to be spending a couple of hundred so might as well get a feel for what's on offer.

If there's one in your area, Debenhams do decent suits in your price range. Next arn't too bad either.

Edit: Do'h, exactly the same suggestions as above

BeatMaster · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:43

M&S, Debenhams or River Island.

Cheers guys, will pop into them and see whats on offer

Wonder which do student discount

My River Island suit is lovely, and was only £100. Very nice three buttoned pinstripe one.

Sounds like what I'm after and for a nice sum of money too

Any pictures?

Doesn't take much for me to put on my suit tbh. I've still got it on.

I don't think i'd be wearing a suit sitting at the PC at 23:19, but agreed that suits are great. Make you feel great, and nobody can resist looking themselves up and down in a mirror

.

The last person i remember wearing a suit while just on the PC was good old Broadband

Yes Mohinder i'm comparing you to BB let the photoshop comence

Wool is a superb fabric for a suit ..... but the quality of the fabric varies hugely.

Sirrel Squirrel · 2 Apr 2006 at 23:26

When I worked for Next I got some nice suits at 75% off

Nothing like getting a £150 for under 40 quid

But:

That suit looks very...black. Seriously you can't see anything, it could be Armani or Matalan.

Also what in the name of holy zombie jesus has happened to your ears - is that a medical condition?
