Any info on prices? looking at those suits, looks like i'll only be able to buy the pocket square.
In general, for suits you wear all the time, you're probably buying something that retails for 400-600. You're probably buying that 500 suit on sale/on clearance/with a coupon, and getting it between 200-350.
If you're a pro - someone who has to be in a suit everyday - an "on sale suit" is coming in at 800-1000 for, and Designer entry level OTR - 1500-2000, and after that you're developing relationships with your Tailor
I consider that baseline for a young player. Anything less than that, you're talking used or you're talking something that's not 100% natural fiber. (and if you don't mind used, aren't afraid to take something to the dry cleaner - you can really come up)
1) The best bang for your buck is to pick a Light Grey Suit or a Khaki suit. The light grey suit you can wear year round actually.
My first khaki suit I bought @ Brooks Bros for around 3 bills (with alterations).
In terms of just buying the jacket at a standard price - A standard navy jacket paired with colored pants and a crisp white shirt (or a colored shirt) won't break the bank either
In terms of the colored fitted jacket
1) Full price for the entry level player

2) But brand new and name brand can be had @ 200-250

3) e-bay and google shopping are really your friends.

The suit game Summer/Spring or Fall/Winter is for the guy that has one of 3 qualities
1) money - just point, click, and pimp
2) time - hit all of the discounters and department stores and stay up on the sales
3) courage- not afraid to thrift or buy things online @ the various clothing forums
You only need one of these qualities to look good all the time.
