Boys Suits for six form.

[teta]

Any ideas which shop is best?
Ds needs black or charcoal. I was planning a wool mix suit but forgot about the dry cleaning.
Can I mix n match a wool jacket with washable trousers? He likes skinny trousers and has a tendency to lose things regularly. He also likes clothes and is very fussy about how he looks. He's very slim, broad shouldered n sporty.
So taking that all into account ... any recommendations?

Mine has just got some from ASOS.

Primark.

Next suits are fairly durable.

Also worth looking at Next clearance site. I got some for dc for a funeral for under £50 per suit.

We went with M&S. Lots of choice, mix and match for very slim waist and broader shoulders.
We got him 2 pairs of trousers to go with the jacket. Talked about washable school trousers, but he was adamant it needed to be a proper suit.
They had some cracking bargains in their sale!

Thank you all for posting with advice.
I did look at M&S and ordered some sale items. There was a brilliant deal on a grey wool suit so I ordered that and a black one. Ds1 has now informed that he hates grey 😬. So I guess that’s going to be returned then, as I know he won’t wear it ( but heartbreaking as it’s only £30) .There’s a Next skinny black suit online that looks good as well. It seems to be tricky to find a skinny fit wool suit in black though. They're all more classic shapes. Today I will venture onto ASOS.

I’ve also just ordered some H&M bits. A wool slim fit jacket at half price and some black skinny suit trousers that are ankle length and cheap with good reviews. I have a feeling the M&S ones won’t be skinny enough for him 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I have just bought two machine washable suits. The school recommends washable smart trousers such as chinos, because clothing must be washed after each wear due to covid19

Check the school webisite etc for an update on this.

Really?
I had better check on an update.
In which case his school will have to change the uniform totally as it involves a wool blazer.
Mines a boarder so there are no facilities to change clothes daily.
And chinos are not allowed in his school.

My friends has some suits from an Italian suit shop in a shopping centre - think they were good value and the boys liked them a lot.

My sons had to have suits for sixth form. DS1 got one in m and s - broad shoulders but slim elsewhere. DS2 got a fantastic fitting suit in Burtons. I bought 2 pairs of trousers and one jacket as the trousers wear out quicker,

Ah sorry op. It might be different at n independent school.

But I usually buy from M and S, suits from h and m, and Next don't last

DS2's came from River Island (and was very skinny). Machine washable is essential IMO, having seen 2 boys through 6th form 😂

M&S were nowhere near skinny enough for DS2's liking.

Yes! They also get things spilt on them more often.
