Need business suit recs

[sandandsea]

I need to buy a suit that looks great and boosts my confidence through the roof. I want to spend under $150 and am looking for black or maybe navy. Online shopping only (Amazon is perfect). Any recommendations?

ETA. Not dry clean only is preferred but seemingly impossible to find.

I think Banana Republic or Banana Republic Factory have a washable suit line. I haven't personally bought any pieces from it, but it would be worth checking into.

Banana Republic and J Crew are (were? I don't need them anymore) my go-to for suits, but unless you're able to shop sales, you'll be hard pressed to find one under $150.

Macy's typically has decent suits at a decent price.

Express suits are a decent price, but I'm not sure what their shipping/return policy is. You could always return in store if it didn't work out.

I bought a new suit last summer when I had to start interviewing for jobs. I went with the Kasper suit line from Macy's (i think all department stores have it). I ended up getting the light gray dress & suit jacket to match. I bet I wore it to at least 10-12 interviews last year; maybe it was lucky in the end because I ended up getting a fantastic job that I love!! :-)

I think I paid around $110 or so for both pieces?? As you can usually find them on sale at Macy's or Belk.

I always had good luck with Anne Klein suits and separates. You can mix and match, and I found that they fit be better than Tahari after a while. Not $$$, but I always received compliments. You can find them at Macy’s and other spots - Lord and Taylor, if there’s one near you.

Try the nordstrom anniversary sale starting Friday - they usually put a couple suits on sale and have free alterations. One of my favorite suits is also a black skirt suit from the Ann Taylor outlet.

I only dry clean my suits but only do it like every 10th wear since I'm always wearing other clothes underneath.

Macy's and Nordys online is great to shop for suits.
I'm a bargain shopper got an Ann Taylor suit and shoes on sale for $35 off season.

Don't limit to just amazon

I wouldn’t try to get a suit on Amazon. Fit is too important, and their sizes are all over the place. Macy’s is generally good. Loft sometimes has nice suiting pieces.

I like Banana Republic outlet, I've found some pretty good deals there. But typically you have to go in person for those. And not be too pick about the color. I ended up with a burgundy suit for like $50, with a jacket, skirt, and pants. But could only do that because of the color.

My two favorite suits are from Nordstrom and the Ann Taylor outlet. One is a gray skirt suit and the other is a black skirt suit. I usually buy the skirt one size up so they’re comfortable for all the flying I do. Add any top and a statement necklace and I feel good.
