So... as a little birthday treat i've decided to invest in a new suit. I'm a graphic designer by trade so have no need for one as work-wear, but would like one for client functions I sometimes have to attend, the next one being in two weeks!
I have a limited budget of about £400 and i'm after a classic, slim looking 1 or 2 button 2 piece suit in navy blue wool. Im 6'2" and slim-medium build.
I want the suit to look classic but slightly creative / arty too, as I'm in a creative role after all! I think this edge would perhaps come across with the shoes & accessories i add though perhaps? Wearing it with a buttoned up shirt without tie or dark polo neck etc.
Here's a few images of the sort of look i'm after:

For the limited budget and limted time i have i'm almost certainly looking an off-the-peg... but any ideas of where in London i might find what i'm after? And what labels within my budget are considered okay?
Cheers
