I love H and M, but did not realize they sold suits. WILL CHECK OUT

If you do get a suit from H&M or Zara, just make sure you get a suit that is 100% wool and not a polyester-wool blend. Good luck and happy upcoming birthday.

huh, well sounds around a slim 38 or so. for $300 TBH there are some options but not too many. I realize that to the average person that's a reasonable suit budget but IMO "real" suits usually start around $500-600 at least, under that it's usually a "looks like".

Check out H&M, Zara, and Uniqlo if possible. Also consider Target's suit and def check out JCrew too.

Sounds like a large

Jcrew once they go on sale. Its a solid bet you'll actually like the way you look, especially compared to MW which specializes in clothing middle aged and overweight.

Awesome. Thanks for the headsup.

great advice for OP...i think you can find a pretty nice suit fit-wise (that's really what it's all about imo) from H&M...just make sure it is the true wool suit...you may have to search around the store a bit to find the wool ones...cuz they also have the less pricey ones that are more for casual wear.

As mentioned earlier I would suggest getting a 100% wool suit from either Hennes&Mauritz or Zara. That should fit your budget nicely.

Another option would be wizard of Ahhs from ebay. You can get most of his suits a little cheaper than 300. I think I paid around 260. That will leave you a couple of bucks to get the pants hemmed and the sleeves made the right length.
I have this one:

and it's a lot nicer than anything from H&M and will look more like the Bond stuff than the super slim styles you'll get from H&M or Zara--not that those are bad ideas--I love those stores. JCrew is also and excellent idea, but you will only be able to get one for 300 on sale.

I would avoid TMW like the plague. go to a Nordstroms Rack if you have one nearby. I scored myself a Hugo Boss suit for $300 last week.
