    Depends how much you want to spend I suppose! M&S and Next definitely worth a look. On the higher end, Arnotts, Reiss, Massimo Dutti, Ted Baker.

    I'm useless when it comes to fashion, need to smarten up a bit when we all return to the office!

    Will check out M&S and Next thank you!

    You might also try searching for blazer if you're browsing online, sport coat would be a more American term in my experience so you might get better results with blazer.

    Could anyone give me links to a 'nice' blazer/sports coat? I really need to dress better for going back to the office!

    Well, if you want something decent that's going to look good, fit you properly, and last a while, you need to pay for it. Think of it as an investment.

    I can attest to their quality; I have about six or seven of their suits. They use really good wool and they are very nicely made.

    Fair enough! Thanks for making me aware of them :) I'll probably go with them for one or two

    I do love a good blazer.

    Suitsupply is great, but there are some other options I would recommend checking out too:

    - TK Maxx: I've found some really nice Polo Ralph Lauren blazers in TK Maxx lately, prices range from €60 - €100 ish. Most of the ones I got were slim fit tweed blazers with leather elbow patches, kinda like this:

    Nice option for when you want to look a little dapper, but not too dressy.

    - Kildare Outlet: Loads of good options here covering all price points from shops like: Eleventy, Reiss, Savoy Taylors Guild, Ted Baker, Boss etc. I got two Eleventy blazers last time I was down there including this one which I've gotten nothing but compliments about:

    Zara/HM etc: Gonna throw out a curveball here, but I've grabbed some cheap blazers during the sales in Zara & HM and then got them tailored. Generally it costs me less than 120 all in and I gotta say they look absolutely fantastic.
