Get yourself down to Marks & Spencer they do some pretty reasonable suits for well under £100, ive got a couple that I wear every day for work, good quality for the money (if your not a lable snob)

Machine washable M&S suit should be easy doable for that price.
No point spending £10 every few weeks at the dry cleaners if you don't need to!

Thanks, think i will get down to M&S this week to take a look
Another vote for MS and Next. Did get a Paul Smith one for £200 in the sale though
Give Brigdens a look if you've got one near you.
I got a really smart business suit from Moss for £260. IMO, you're better off spending up to £300 for it to last and look good - especially if it's the only suit you have. As for machine washable, don't bother, you'll still need to get it pressed afterwards.

Not true. I've several machine washable M&S suits. Hang them up damp and they dry straight.
for that price I'd say M&S too. And if you can stretch to an extra pair of trousers for the price, i would. IME cheaper suits / lower grade cloth can wear fast in the crotch and bag at the knees whereas the jacket will last better (especially if it's hung up in the car / over your chair in the office as opposed to being sat it)
Unless you happen to be the exact measurements to fit the peg-suit, made-to-measure is the only way - and cheaper than you think.
john lewis, debenhams, house of fraser etc should all fall into the M&S bracket, don't go near a tailors or you'll get all excited and spend far more than you need on a work suit. Also bet you could get something to your measurements online if you looked around.
If there's one nearby try Slaters. I've had 2 suits from 2 different branches and I couldn't be happier, you'll easily get a nice suit for £150 and they'll measure you up and do free alterations so it fits nicely.
2nd slaters, have used them for years
+1 for Next. For everyday they are fine.
The Florence and fred range at tesco is very decent. You'll easily get a decent suit for less than £100

He's right - a suit cut to fit always looks good.
The cheap way is to get a decent suit from the likes of M&S and if it doesn't fit exactly, go and see a tailor with it for a few alterations.
Don't know if Burton's still do made to measure, but it was the place to go in my day, and they were not expensive if you kept an eye on the options.
+1 for Slaters
You'll easily get sorted for £150 and all of the suits I've had from them have been great quality and lasted well.
Failing that if folks start selling off just before Christmas because they are stuggling then that can be a good time to buy.
