Budget shirts and suits

[robbyd]

I am about to start work in the city and want to invest in a decent suit and some shirts. However, money is a real isue at the moment and cannot afford to spend much. I would say my budget is £25-30 max for shirts, and about £150 for a suit. Obvioulsy I dont expect top quality for that money, but would be good to get something half decent. I was wondering where offers good value for money in that range?

Thanks!

TM Lewin would be my choice.

For that budget try good old M&S for the suit or try to catch a sale at Austin Reed. That's where I started when I began work (a mere 17 years ago!). Lewins or Charles Tyrwhitt are both OK for budget shirts that look good. If you can find a suit that fits well from Austin Reed, a nice Lewins shirt and tie, most of your workmates will think you spent more than you did.

H&M is the way...

Check out the Hawes & Curtis sale for shirts.

Whatever make you are going to purchase ,the cut is the most important thing...
Don't buy an over-sized suit thinking that you will keep it longer....Buy a well-fitted one...
You can wear a Kiton or a Brioni , if the cut is wrong , you will look bad..
