I'm asking this question due to going on a Trainee Scheme with the BBC in September, and I want to look smart as possible. I am wondering if there's any websites selling charcoal slim-fit three piece suits suits, my jacket size is 36S, same again with the waistcoat, and 28R including the trousers. My current budget is £80.00 but I'm getting paid another sum of that money next month so I'm in no rush. But then again, I would like to get organised just to be sure.

get yourself on eBay and get yourself a cheap designer suit! for a media role I would wear a Ted Baker suit - they are pretty ' London ' looking and slim fitting.
I would never buy a new suit....no one will ever know you know.

I have taken a glance through eBay actually but everything is originated from China and that means paying additional fees to ship to the UK. I've never heard of Ted Baker before unfortunately so I am going to see what suits are preferable for me. Thank you.

You've never heard of a Ted Baker suit? There really no hope for you!
Try searching for a quality name on eBay such as Ted baker, Paul Smith or Oswald Boetang suits.
Why would you be looking at new suits when you can buy a well made used one for a fraction of the price.

The next time you goto asian, make sure you set some money aside to get some tailor made suits.

For now, you might want to check our Topman, Zara and FCUK. Most likely, you'll need to find a top and trouser separately.

Evening all, I'm looking at the Marks & Spencer website and have took an interest in the following suit http://www.marksandspencer.com/Limit...pf_rd_s=left-1. I've read the reviews on the webpage and other people seem to like it because of how fabulous and good value the slim-fit suit looks, I've also had a thought of which shoes I'm going to wear it with http://www.selectism.com/news/wp-con...ea-boots-1.jpg, Suede Chelsea Boots in the Black. Remember, this isn't my final choice because I have plenty of time.

Not too bad for the price. Go and try it on with a friend or girlfriend to get their honest opinion.

Can you get it delivered to a store of your choice even if you don't want to pay for it online when you would like to try it on?

I would advise to steer away from Marks. I don't think you get enough quality for the prices.
