Any suggestions on what sort of $$ are involved to get one that doesn't look embarrassingly cheap? And best places to source?
Is it something you're gonna wear regularly?

If you only have one suit, it should be navy, as it's the most versatile. Black is least versatile.JK wrote:Q. wrote:You could get something half decent from Peter Shearer for $400-500 (just the suit, assuming you have shoes, shirts and ties)JK wrote:Need to buy a suit for the first time in over 10 years (Im anti-formal wear) and am wondering what sort of budget is required?

She’s a bit tight around the plums but other than that she goes alright still.

Do not buy from Connor. DO NOT BUY FROM CONNOR. That is for people who still think Lynx is a suitable deodorant and are on their way to their school formal.JK wrote:Need to buy a suit for the first time in over 10 years (Im anti-formal wear) and am wondering what sort of budget is required?

There is not much difference between a tailored $500 suit and a $5000 suit. But you have to ensure it *fits*. Shoulder points are actually on the point of the shoulder. Jacket sleeves to the thumb knuckle. Pants not bunched at the bottom but don't show socks either. Belt must match shoes.
Black suit, black shoes
Blue suit, light brown shoes
Grey Suit, dark brown shoes.
There is no other colour suit you should buy.
Shoes are just as important as the suit. You're tying everything together. Balance is the key.
I would recommend Calibre - they just opened a store in Rundle Mall.
Jack London also very good but a bit preppy.
MJ Bale pretty nice as well.
