Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 My team at work is nominated for an award at the Trusts award ceremony at the Hilton this Friday night. I managed to get a ticket, free meal, good opportunity to do some 'networking', but just found out it's black tie only! Which is a shitter as I only own a blue and a grey suit Anyone know where I can buy a cheap (and I mean cheap!) black suit (slim/tailored fit) that won't look like it's come from 1994 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11385 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Noticed Debenhams had a sale on when I walked past the other day, £37 cheap enough for you? http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_46497+0029241_-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Cheers. Ill have a look through the metro tomorrow to see if a £50 suit is wearable. Otherwise I may as well just bite the bullet and get a £100 suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 'Black tie' doesn't automatically mean black suit these days though, it just means formal (unless you're going to the palace or something) If the do is at the Hilton I'd think you'd more than get away with a blue suit as long as you wear a tie etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Possibly. I'd feel quite the twat if I'm the only one not in a tux though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30615 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 £100? Last of the big spenders. You looked into hiring one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30615 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 £80? Fuck me, was £25 when I was renting one for my formal (albeit 12 years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 You could always hire a tux if you don't envisage going to another black tie due anytime soon. I bought one about a decade ago and have only worn it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30615 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Can anyone actually buy a decent suit for £100? A tux fair enough but surely not a suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Only dickheads and wideboys wear blue suits like. Alright James Dean I lost 2 clem last year so had to chuck my suits. Got a Navy suit and a Grey 3 piece suit. Only wear them for Weddings/Interviews these days so pointless dropping £500 on a suit no one will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Nowt wrong with a blue suit, though not at a black tie do, obviously. I'd never wear a black suit usually. Like a waiter innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
