Depends how much you want to pay.

Without knowing your budget it is difficult to say but M&S have suits for around £50 each and they are very good quality, last a long time and are washable so no high dry cleaning costs.

My OH has a couple of suits from Tescos which are again good quality but he has found that they are not as 'roomy' round his legs (he used to play a lot of football so has quite muscly thighs!)

Tesco were doing suits for £25 a couple of weeks ago, they may still have some. I think Asda were as well.

The Tesco ones looked OK but I've no idea how hard wearing they were. They may be worth considering to get you going, you could always replace them with better ones over time.

MY OH earns a mint in computing but always wears TopMan or River Island suits bought in the sales - seems to both wear very well

If you want branded then TK Maxx can have very good prices - have picked up a few Ted Baker suits there for 1/3 their RRP and as they are novices you can switch trousers if like me you dont follow the standard sizing but you do have to keep going back as they have a lot of rubbish too.

Suits You can have OK prices but 1/2 the time TK Maxx have the same stock cheaper.... also watch out for them promoting their own brands (such as Racing Green).

Other than that I just go to department stores during the sales.

The M&S suits do wear well and are certainly a lot better style than they used to be but rightly or wrongly there are people out their that look at brands and you are not going to impress someone with the M&S label.

Thanks all, my job is a senior one so i need to ensure I look the part at all times.

I guess I should say I am happy to pay what required but not silly money, I was thinking of next or debenhams....

I need to steer away from ASDA, Tesco etc...M&S too old for me...

Cheers all

might give tacky max a go

Justed washed it in the washing machine for the first time yesterday, seems to have survived well, but must remember to use liquid rather than powder next time
