H&M or Asos. I've had better luck with Asos, though, and don't expect quality, or anything.

>> No.8195424

For my highschool prom thing I bought a suit at H&M, got the jacket tailored, trousers were already a nice slim fit so didn't get that done. Looked pretty good compared to what most people were wearing. Loads of blokes straight up wearing their dads suits and a lot not even wearing dress shoes but black sneakers. I think I only wore the suit twice, so I wouldn't know about the quality.

Thanks guys I'll try H&M

>> No.8195951

Don't.

Try Topman.

They have some really slim cuts, and since you are probably a skinny teenager, you need something that somewhat fits, especially at shoulders.

Saw a Raf Simons suit from 05 go for around 200 last week, tailored and dry-cleaned it would look really sharp. I saw a brand new Carven suit go for around 250 two weeks ago on ebay. Just keep your eyes open, kid. Use Ebay and Styleforum, find a tailor. Otherwise just cop a suit from SuitSupply.

Just an FYI.

If the event is an actual FORMAL, wear a tux, as that would be what's expected of you.

If it's just some college bs event called a formal in name alone, wear whatever you want.

I actually have an H&M suit that I wear pretty regularly, it was well fitted off the rack (still got it tailored though) and I haven't had any issues with quality, so thats what I would recommend personally. With suits its really about the fit, even if you get a cheaper suit ie H&M, as long as its tailored and it isnt complete and utter garbage quality, you'll look better than the faggots in daddys baggy $2000 suit.
