Student needs to buy a suit on a budget

ShoulderChip

Have no idea where to look thinking of River Island, never wore one before no ideas what to look for, but have to buy it today,
any ideas?

Try as many secondhand shops you can in and around the city centre.

If your ona budget Pennys is your best bet

Top man do reasonable suits. Does it have to be a suit? Sometimes a blazer and nice pair of cacks and a decent shirt and tie can work...

Try Mark's and sparks for a suit (esp if it's for an interview) - still have mine from 1999. I only ever wear it for interviews and funerals, thankfully not too much of either.

My brother got an Armani suit in a charity shop - they are out there to be found.

Depends on what you mean by budget,how much or little do you want to spend...?

Bests have a big suit sale on at the moment. I've never bought from them but I've heard good things..

TK-Max is your best bet. Great reductions.

Gaspode

There's always Guineys (I think, havent been there for years) or Arnotts Bargain basement.

Potential-Monke

You'll get a nice suit pants and jacket in Pennys for €35. All you need then is a shirt and tie, which you surely have, if not you'll get one in Pennys for €10.

pennys suits? dont want to be snobby but the quality of their clothes are a bit **** now, at least for a suit??! get into m&s - you'll pick up a cheap suit for less about 80/90 if my memory serves me correctly

What's Ben Sherman and Ted Baker like quality wise? Going for 100-120 in TK-Max. Reduced from 500 some of them.

Bluefoam

Ted Baker are top quality, my bro has a couple and they are about £370stg in the sales in the Ted Baker shop.

Opps - let me rephrase that! I got it in 1999 for about 100 punts.

M&S are selling suits for E75 at the moment and they're decent quality. Should be enough to get you started. If that's too expensive, then you could try Penneys.

Check them out or M&S do good suites for 70e

Actually, those suits are actually very good quality, not bad looking either. I was disgusted when I first saw them because they look like an exact copy of my suit for all occasions. And I definitely didn't spend €40 on that.

Youll get a decent shirt and tie set in DUnnes for €10. Good selection in the new DUnnes on Henry St.
