Thread: Business Suits/Work Attire

Hey Everyone,

Just a general question: Where do most of you buy your work/business related clothing...suits, jackets, pants, shirts, etc.

What prices do you pay generally, how often do you buy new stuff, and what kind of quality do you expect?

Just doing some 'market research' ... kind of. haha

Would love to get some thoughts/answers.

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with Brooks Brothers or Ralph Lauren if you're outfitting a basic business wardrobe imo.

Gilt.com, designer clothes for great prices.

+1 on comment above. But I do get suits custom made, there are a lot of great companies these days using great fabric and taking the right measurements for reasonable prices.

Brooks brothers slim fit because that's the only dress shirts that fit me.

I take it from your user that you are a film student? If you are just looking for something quick to get you by, a well fitting suit from H&M, Express, etc... (under $300) will do just fine, if you are looking for something to invest in, your price range will be anywhere from $300-700. Most likely to get the perfect fit, you'd have to take it to a trustworthy tailor and have them form it to your body type.

I have a few different suits but the only one I had to tailor was one that I bought maybe 4 or 5 years ago for about $200 because the fit wasn't great, my other suits fit well so I don't have to change them.

I like Tiger and J.Lindeberg, mostly because they are the only ones that's really slim

brooks brothers for suits. just got some shirts from Hugo Boss, seem pretty good
