Need to buy a new suit. I've never owned a suit before. Looking for some advice for a first time suit buyer. Where's a good place to go to get a good quality suit? How does buying a suit work? Do you just buy any suit then take it to a tailor?

Go find a suit you like. Get the shoulders right(The hardest part to alter). Make sure everything else is a little big. Find a tailor,explain in extreme detail what you want. Boom. Very simple.

I would recommend going to a department store and go where they sell suits, I prefer Bloomingdales. The guys in there will measure you and recommend a great suit with your desired fit. Some brands I would recommend would be Theory, Hugo Boss, and Burberry Brit. Theory and Burberry Brit have mostly a slimmer fit, for Hugo Boss it's between slim and regular. For most suits you would have to get your pants hemmed but do not take any suit to the tailor and expect to get fitted for a good deal. Getting your suits fitted at a tailor could get real expensive.

In my opinion, Uniqlo makes incredible suits for buyers who want's to start collecting suits on a budget. Excellent quality, great variety this winter season and can literally save you a lot of money. Take your time trying on your suit (cannot stress that enough) and alter your suit if want certain changes for a more custom feel. Keep in mind proper shoulder fit, sleeve length, and whether to hem or not. Give it try. Hope this helped...

Agree, if you're on a budget, go to uniqlo or topman if you have access to these stores. Best bang for your buck honestly.

If you're looking for a better quality but good price, I would check out Express or J Crew. Both have nice slim fit jackets and pants. Just bought a suit from Express last week and going to have it tailored soon.
