Is it reasonable to wear the same suit for three days at client travel?
I have to go to buy a new one since my old one isn’t fitting (spent 1k on it ) now looking to buy a reasonably cheap one (200)?
I do not want to buy three suits - was thinking a grey or navy suit with three shirts with three ties?
I need to be able to get past this week

Yes, you can get by. Just don’t stain the suit. It would also help if you were able to also alternate your shoes/belt.

As an alternative to a suit I’ve largely gone to traveling with a really nice blazer with subdued buttons. I pack a couple pairs of pants with at least one being more formal slacks that I can pair with a tie for a meeting where I’d normally wear a suit.

Have you looked into alterations? No clue cost, but if you invested a grand that seems worth tailoring.

Wow. What disrespectful and self-righteous comments. To the poster or anyone else reading this: Rewearing clothes is ABSOLUTELY fine, In fact, it's the ethical decision to make, not showy consumerism that our culture pressures people into. Swap out the button down, tie, and accessories if you are able. But people that critique a choice like this are superficial and insecure, so you don't need to entertain that anyway. And I hope your client travel goes wonderfully.

Wanting to not smell like sweat and not have stretched out pants has nothing to do with ethics or consumerism lol. Why are you trying to make this deeper than it is. No one said OP needs to sown thousands of dollars on clothes, you can buy a pair of pants for almost nothing, as long as they fit they’ll look fine.
