I don't wear suits to work. Only the admins and subs in their 70's do. I just don't see the need to spend the money when I do not need to and I am not paid enough to justify having enough suits for the whole week.
I like suits, but only for special occasions (wedding, funerals, etc). I have 3 total (black, blue, and grey). 1 was a gift from my uncle for graduating college and it was from Mens Wearhouse. I'm not sure what he paid, but he got one free. They measured me and of course it still didn't fit right and they had to alter it... The other two were off the rack at Kohls and I paid about $100. Like Fred said, it's gotta fit or else it looks bad. I should probably get those two altered, the shoulders could fit better.
My only issue with suits is the pants. They're so baggy. I like more modern cut pants that aren't as loose. But I'll be 30 this (school) year, so I figured it's time to start dressing more professionally. No more khakis, button down, and sneakers. I went out and got a ton of dress pants and some newer dress shirts.
