All depends on what you're willing to spend. Please provide both desired and maxiumum prices.

What situations is it for? How often do you expect to need/use it? Do you have a style in mind at all? What weather are you dressing for? How much can you afford to spend?

Welcome, btw.

That's not really a good idea. You should have at least two suits, thus allowing each suit to rest a day before being worn again. Same with shoes. For suits, I'd recommend a solid blue and a solid grey. For shoes, one pair black and one brown.

that sounds good, style wise i have no clue...

if i was to get 2 suits i could prob spend around 700 per suit

it should be able to be worn in warm to hot weather

thanks

Post your general body size (height and weight are a good start).

Some sizes can be very hard to find things for, others, absolutely no problem.

I'm a 1/2" taller and about 20 pounds heavier (all muscle, no jokes plz!

) and I've found Costume National suits fit me like a glove (a pinch long in the sleeves, perfect jacket length, nice and slim)... I'm 31" waist, 38" chest. I buy a 48/38. Yoox has a bunch going for $575-$670 or so right now, some a bit dandy, some less so, all seemingly in summer friendly fabrics (linen blends, cotton, etc). Check the image previews, avoid ones that have a little tag below the costume national label tag. It reads "CITY", and IME, these aren't made very well (fused etc). The suit I have is fully canvassed, nice summer-friendly tropical wool, slick as ****... Not bad for $600.
