Where to get a decent, but cheap-ish suit/blazer?

MrTomato

Hi all!

I need a suit for my leavers dinner next month. I don't want to spend loads on a suit because I'm very rarely going to need one afterwards. I mean, I don't even wear suits to interviews.

Can you suggest anywhere that does a nice looking and fitting suit at a reasonable price?

I've already got plenty of trousers, so maybe just a good shop for blazers and jackets and the sort?

Cheers!

you thought about renting one?

Have you thought about eBay? I had never before bought second-hand clothes but I needed a dinner suit for a particular event and got an excellent one for £25 delivered. I've since bought one in the M&S sale (reduced from £199 to £49) but I didn't like the style so much and the 2ndhand one is a better fit so it went back.

The other place to try might be charity shops. I've never bought in them but have given loads of decent menswear stuff to them.

My local charity shop has dozens of cheap dinner suits. I bought one for a do for about 20 quid. Cheaper than renting one! A lot of people seem to get rid of them after a couple of outings!

Was in Tesco the other say and saw a sign for suits from £29. No idea what they are like though.
