Need A Suit, (Urgent)

    Hey guys, bit of a dilemma here.

    I need a suit in a hurry (for tomorrow night) and I'm not sure where to look. Want a somewhat decent suit and have about €150 to spend. I was in Penneys earlier and wasn't too keen on their selection (also looked like a bomb had hit the suit section) so not really considering anything from there now.

    Basically, I have €150 to spend on a suit (jacket, trousers) and maybe a shirt. Where should I go?

    (South Dublin btw!)

    Try M&S, they have a great selection, good prices and quality too. Also, I noticed that Black Tie have a sale on their suits to purchase at the moment, might be worth a look.

    M&S is a good option, maybe also try Zara's mens section. I got a suit there last week with 2 shirts for around €170; granted, this was in the women's section! But their prices are reasonable and the quality is good :)

    M&S is probably best, with Zara worth a punt as well.

    Someone on Bargain Alerts mentioned that M&S were selling a suit for €55, could be a good punt because their stuff is usually lovely.

    not sure if it was just a thing they were doing for a certain time period but i got a cheap enough ex rental in black tie a good while back.

    For your price range M&S (as everyone else has said) is your best bet.

    Topman do a few suits for €150, think there's a grey and a black. The cheapest shirts in there would be about €25.

    My boyfriend got a suit from Zara last minute about a year ago. I dunno how much it cost but the fit was amazing, and he looked really well in it...like James Bond :cool:

    I got a leaflet in the door about a company in Fashion City (Ballymount Road) who sell suits to the public at wholesale prices - 100 or so. Might be worth a look - I don't know how good the suits are. The company was called suits4you.

    Was going to start a thread just like this, good advice, iv heard that ZARA, River Island and that new place beside the spike are the best places to go, ill have to check them out tomorrow.

    For everything they do wrong in Topman (Wolves? Really?) the suits are excellent. Great fit, and they look the business.

    I've been wearing a grey one to basically everything for the last year when needed, and dearer ones are sitting in the closest collecting dust, waiting for me to spill something on it. Have a look.
