HERE IS SOMETHING more guys should know: Great-looking suits do not have to be expensive. In fact, you don’t have to go to Savile Row to get a jacket that fits great and feels even better.

Just take it to a tailor for a perfect fit, then combine it with a dress shirt and oxford shoes, and you’ll be ready for wedding season or that big job interview.

Best Affordable Suits

These days, the best affordable suits come in every fabric and fit imaginable. Want an on-trend boxy jacket and relaxed pants in a breezy chino? You got it. Need a do-it-all navy wool two piece that can handle all four seasons! Done. Looking to expand your collection with a snazzy glen plaid number that can break up into a blazer or dress pant? It’s right here. Best of all, every suit on this list comes in at $800 or less. If you didn't think you needed a new suit before, you probably do now.

Crosby Suit

Matching Pant: Crosby Suit Pant

$225 at J.Crew

J.Crew helped put suits back on the map a decade ago with the slim fit Ludlow Suit. Recently, the Crosby fit—with a fuller, squared off shoulder and straight fit leg—has become the standard look. The Italian wool version is a workhorse that looks just as good done up to the nines, as it does chilled out with white sneakers and a polo shirt.

Res assured, no sharks were harmed here. Sharkskin is a type of fabric that weaves one color on top of another, typically gray or blue over white. It adds a vibrance to the suit that looks especially good over a white dress shirt.
