Ten Best Suits For Under $500

In a effort for becoming a well dressed man, one must own a suit. Of course when you think of suit, you merely at most think about the price and least about tailoring. These suits here are under $500 and already have a modern update to them so you don't have to worry much about tailoring and are ready to wear.

But a experienced tailor can make this look from $500 to $5000. Gentlemen, it's time to suit up!

1. Nailhead wool suit, $475, by Nautica (left)
A perfect cold-weather suit, crafted from a hardy wool.

2. Pin-striped wool suit, $270, by Perry Ellis
The peak lapel and ticket pocket lend this black suit a decidedly younger edge.
3. Pin-striped cotton suit, $370, by A|X Armani Exchange (left)
Boasting Armani’s trademark relaxed but stylish fit, this cotton suit speaks more to the young man than the young businessman.

4. Worsted wool suit, $495, by Tommy Hilfiger (center)
The narrow lapels say early ’60s; the fuller-cut pants say comfort. For a trim fit like the one pictured here, try a size smaller than you would normally wear.

5. Pin-striped wool suit, $256, by Calvin Klein
Basic but stylish. An ideal suit for the first-timer hitting the job market.
6. Corduroy suit, $268, by United Colors of Benetton (left)
This suit looks great straight off the rack—slim and suave. Try the jacket with jeans, or the pants with just a dress shirt. And remember: A tie bar will amp up any suit.

7. Worsted-wool-blend suit, $245, by Claiborne (center)
A light blue shirt always goes well with brown, while a narrow tie will instantly make a suit look younger.

8. Plaid wool suit, $249, by H&M
H&M makes remarkably good (and cool) suits at bargain prices. The subtle gray plaid adds character without going overboard.
9. Pin-striped wool suit, $125, by Target Men (left)
Try a muted shirt-and-tie combo for a more modern look. And have your tailor take in the jacket and pants for a more athletic fit.

10. Three-piece wool suit, $396, by Express Design Studio
Notice the subtle tie. A three-piece suit makes enough of a statement; it doesn’t need help from loud accessories.
