Suits

[aaron1867]

I am just browsing through Burton's for a suit and not sure what to get. I already bough a suit a few weeks ago, but I think I need another one and ideally this one for a lot less.

But what does each colour say? I have found one I want for £100 and it's grey, is grey an interview colour? What about black and blue? Or are suits, just suits?

Clubs is the best suit.

ha, thought this was going to be about the tv show, which is excellent btw.

Light Grey is the best colour. With a white shirt and maroonish tie. And dark brown shoes.

I'd say dark grey and blue suits are the most conventional colours for suits, well they are in finance anyways. Black suits are for black tie events or funerals, I wouldn't get a black one.

Good luck.

For a cheapish suit I'd go in to M&S....usually always got quite nice suits on sale. greys prob my favourite colour too

Then get a good shirt from TM Lewin always makes the suit look nicer

Pmsl. Burtons says it all. Can punt a bag of sand on footy but wants a suit from Burtons. Dumb yorkies never cease to amaze me

Any dark suit, no stripes or any of that nonsense, just try to be neutral.

I knew you would post, my little stalker. But please don't get me paranoid, I thought Burton's was the leader for suits?

M&S, thought they would be pretty dear, no? I am not looking for cheap, but definitely not looking for expensive either, I spent £400 on my first one, so hoping to be under £150 for the whole lot this site.

Definitely a good shout for the TM Lewin shirt though, got waistcoat and shirt from there last time.

Ruling black out for sure.

[Woodsey]

Burton's is just for cheap clothes, certainly no leader. M+S is probably the high st leader for suits.

[Longy]

M&S aren't that expensive, certainly less than £200 iirc.

Parsleys is the best suit.

If you are going for an interview, the general advice is that dark blue is best. It sets you apart from the black suits but without being too obvious. Chalk stripes/pinstripes are generally a no-no.

Tbch it depends on the sort of interview for the sort of job. Prob matters less than ever.

I would advise you to find out about the work ethic for the place you're applying for. I found out that the chief exec detests ties and likes suits with open shirts. Always good to do your research.

As for where to buy, picking the sale times at House of Fraser is +ev. Plenty of bargains from bit names - high street names like Ted Baker and Ben Sherman, but also more Couture names like Berwin and Berwin and Paul Costelloe.

A good suit makes you stand out but it's the man inside it that will decide who gets the job
