    In a good way, surely

      M&S for me too, I also buy an extra pair of trousers as they seem to go quicker than the suit jackets do

          I found the quality of M&S and Next suits went down the pan years ago.

          I've learnt to invest in a good quality suit that will look good, is tailored nicely and of a good cut.

          The suit will last for years rather than having to buy a replacement suit for something that doesn't last beyond a year of repeated dry cleaning.

              Difficult for men, I go to a local independant boutique that sells italian outfits - I bought 2 excellent pairs of trousers that actually fit me - I gave away my M&S trousers the same day.

                You 'gave away' your trousers ???

                Do you maintain a waiting list of candidates waiting to acquire your trousers ??

                Is 'giving away your trousers' normal behaviour ???

                And these weren't just trousers, they were M&S trousers........

                  I have 1 tailored suit, a semi-bespoke from Austin Reed, and a few cheapish ones from John Lewis. Good ones for the interview, and the JL ones are super comfy and hard wearing - Mayfair/Richard James and Daniel Hechter. Highly recommended.

                  Don't wear a suit for the current gig though.
