I have to wear them for sales presentations. I almost always get them at Macy's. There are tons of good deals all of the time, especially with the coupons.
I don't wear suits to work regularly, but the two suits I have are both from The Limited. They fit SO well and are exactly what I want in a suit (classic but flattering cuts, simple no frills or weird add ons, and able to buy different size top and bottom). Granted, I wear them maybe a handful of times a year so I don't know how they hold up with frequent wear.

Second hand stores. I shop at them regularly anyway, and while I had a job that involved wearing lots of suits, I would check the suit section each time for good stuff in my size. Most days there was nothing even worth trying on, but other days I was able to pick up a great suit for $20.
I normally go to brooks brothers. Not the best deal but their suits hold up and are nice wool. I did Ann Taylor and Macy's when I was starting my career and needed a lot of suits without as much regard for longevity.
All my suits are from The Limited, but I'm considering looking at Ann Taylor soon.
I'm here. My stuff from The Limited are falling apart and they never used to.
Sent from my totally awesome galaxy s3.
Yeah, my older stuff has held up really well, but the newer items have been hit or miss. Either way, most of my work clothes aren't in great shape because I work in a restaurant, so it's probably about time I start replacing some things. Ann Taylor had a suit jacket this summer that I was really interested in because it was super light and breathable but still looked great. It was damn expensive though.
Macy's if I need one right away. Ann Taylor if I can wait for a 40 % off sale (or even better, the 50% off sales!). Suits fit better on me if I can buy separates, and when I find one I love, I buy all of the pieces.
