Where would you buy a suit from on the high street?

[MooPointCowsOpinion]

I'm after a decent suit but I have no idea what I'm doing, all of my office wear comes from Next, I'm basically fashion illiterate, help? what do I need to know?

[RaisingSteam]

Budget? Next do suits.

[AmberEars]

Personally I'd go for M&S

[MainliningChocolate]

Reiss if budget allows.

[SinglePringle]

Reiss, Karen Millen (at a push - not a massive fan), The Kooples, Massimo Dutti, Whistles (mix and match), Jaeger, Hugo Boss, The Outnet.

Jigsaw

Reiss or Hobbs. I like Phase Eight for workwear, but I'm not sure they do suits.

If you are short the choice shrinks by 90%

Jigsaw, Hobbs

Would I buy a suit? These days, probably would go for very well coordinated separates. Reiss, Hobbs or Jigsaw I think. Winser online, for a slightly more feminine wibe.

[LobsterQuadrille]

All my work suits are Hobbs. They are machine washable too.

I've been looking everywhere within my budget (which is small lol) with very little joy. Warehouse, Zara, and M&S pretty much all there is within my budget.

[OlennasWimple]

What are you actually after, OP?

[margaritasbythesea]

I saw a lovely notch neck suit jacket in Zara basics the other day. The material was great and the cut lovely. I just didn't need it. I didn't look for bottoms. It came in black and navy and was slightly longer than is conventional. I wanted it!

[TheDisreputableDog]

I like Warehouse, their suits tend to go into the sale too. Not always a lot of choice but worth keeping an eye on

[TronaldDump]

Hobbs - decent quality and nice cuts. Although as OCSock says I'm moving towards nice coordinating separates now, unless a suit is really nice it can feel a bit too 'uniform'.

[TronaldDump]

MeadowHay In your position I'd consider maybe looking on eBay for a really nice jacket (maybe boucle?) to wear with a plain skirt and see if you can pick up a nice silk shirt or decent top somewhere? There's definitely a big quality gap in high st suits and you end up paying more than the sum of their parts.

I don't think I would buy a suit again, I prefer coordinated separates like OCsock
