>>14293673Where I live you can buy beautiful, well made suits at consignment stores for $25. Boomers are leaving the work force voluntarily or in caskets and the demand for suits has dropped, so suits are cheap and abundant. Having your thrift store suit tailored and dry cleaned will cost more, lol. I can get a fully tailored suit, a few brooks brothers shirts and silk ties for under $100. Good shoes like Edmond Allen are the only thing you should buy new and pay for, but even those you can find 'blemished' online for less than full retail.
TL:DR;
Shop consignment, learn to identify quality and dress properly.
