Both my wife and I are in the dark when it comes to purchasing a men's suit for me. It's about time I get a nice suit that I can wear to funerals, weddings, and the occasional court case (I have to sue in small claims every once in a while as a contractor).
I'd like to keep the outfit under $250, but it seems that may be tough. I have some ties, so I guess I'd need a jacket, slacks, shoes, and shirt. maybe $300?
I see some suits on sale for $200 at Men 's Warehouse which will need to be tailored and accessorized. Anywhere else i should look? I'm going to swing by Kohls, JCPenny's, Macy's etc for a quick look....
Finally, WHAT kind should I get? 2 button? 3 button? Color (I'm thinking I cant go wrong with black, but wouldnt mind something a bit different...maybe some pinstripes or a deep charcoal color?)
I really hate the suits many of the elders wear at my church. I like the way people like (bad example here...but it's all I've got) michael jordan look in a suit. Of course his probably cost $3k, but I like the looser fitting smooth fabrics and such
Any input would be super!
