Thoughts on where to buy a cost effective men's suit? Coming in as a first year next month

How broke are you right now? If very broke buy a couple at J. Crew Factory for under $200 each. They will tide you over until you get more of a cash buffer built up after a couple months.

Otherwise I’d recommend Suit Supply. They’ll help you understand how a suit should fit and tailor it with an eye towards a good balance of business professional and trendy.

Go to a suit supply, have them make you a cup of coffee and stick to the $400 suits. Navy or charcoal/grey as first two suits. Be prepared to spend $50 on tailoring at least

Fairly broke ATM so suit supply would be at the limit of my budget but seem like a good investment into learning too - I'll definitely check them out, thanks!

If you are going super cheap, and have a Zara, the basic line is nice because they have some stretchy fabric that doesn’t wrinkle easily. Can get out under $150.

Or you could just Amazon a slim fit travel fabric suit and then tailor the shit out of it

Zara has great starting suits imo

Been looking into 2019 Infiniti QX50, Lincoln MKC, Mazda CX-5, Chevy Equinox, and other similar compact to mid size SUVs but having hard time making the decision.

What are some affordable SUVs that i can buy with ~$25k budget? Hopefully it's post 2019 model and has good fuel economy and reliability (low maintenance cost). I'm less concerned on the mileage but wanting good horsepower (~250hp). Any suggestions? Thanks for your insights.
