Where can I buy a nice business suit at this time of year?

[TreasuredMim]

Have £150 to £200 to spend on a suit for work. M and S and Next have a few cheaper items but want something that looks a little more expensive.

I like Hobbs but out of my price range even in the sale and can never manage to get matching jackets and trousers or skirt at sale time.

Any ideas?

Jigsaw? Might be within price range in the sale. Their suits are really good quality.

Zara?

Are you obliged to wear an actual suit? Even in the days when I had to wear the City's most formal outfitting, I could still wear a simple black dress in Summer.

But Arket has jackets and trousers in suiting fabrics / shapes in the sale. Combined they would be less than your budget limit. Decent quality and design.

Try LK Bennett sale and try John Lewis for Hobbs sales as they may have part of suit and the other part may be on Hobbs site. Damsel in a Dress may have something. I usually have Hobbs or LK Bennett for work and have had some lovely looking dress suits from Next but you have to hunt around as sometimes Next suits don’t look so nice.

Reiss have a suit sale on.

Edmontine Unfortunately it does need to be suit with either trousers or a skirt.

JohnnyEnglish hadn't considered buying separate parts of the suit from different places - that may be a way forward as will have to be in the sale to get the quality I want on my budget.

Will go through all the suggestions mentioned - thanks.
