I have not bought a suit in about 15 years. I used to wear suits all the time and generally just bought OTR Armani and called it a day. But there seems to be a lot more option etc. available. I would like to purchase a plain Navy suit for fit guy in his 50s. Fashionable but not cutting edge styling. Budget is up to $3,000. I would appreciate thoughts and suggestions.

Definitely dont buy OTR unless you have to. Certainly not up to 3k. Bespoke or MTM at that price.

Where are you located?

With a budget like that you should have a wide array of choices. Good luck.
