The Best Men's Suits You Can Buy for Under £500
Top class tailoring and not a shiny fabric in sight
By 
You can get a suit under £500. Promise. Because, while old school diktats say that bespoke is best, it's not the only option. Off the peg works just as well – providing you get it from the right place.
In recent years, brands that don't bow to Mayfair rental prices are doing a great job at tailoring. It doesn't cost the world either. For below £500, there's a small but not insignificant cadre of labels that manage to keep a foot in both the quality and the cost-effective camps. Fit is still key. Navy is still the most versatile. Alteration services are essential.
Which is why we've whipped up the best suits below for an even better price tag.
Muji
The textbook destination wedding 'fit (beige, linen, single-breasted) available at a price so good you'll scrabble for your glasses. From? Muji (that shop with the aroma diffusers).
£129.90; muji.eu
Moss
Barbie summer might feel like a fever dream but menswear is still very much Kenergised. Which is good news because life in plastic, well: it's fantastic.
So, yes, this is us giving you our blessing to wear a pink two-piece – preferably this Moss one – this summer. Hell, why not go bleach blonde whilst you're at it.
£229; moss.co.uk
H&M
Most would go white tee (or shirt), white shoes and white accessories with this H&M tux, channelling the best-dressed guy at an Ibiza White Party. Admittedly, we wouldn't be mad at it. (Albeit, our natural instinct is to go full-Thriller with a black shirt, black belt and black shoes.)
£129.98; hm.com
T.M. Lewin
Ecru looks good on you. How are we so sure? It's a colour anyone can get away with. Here's T.M. Lewin's one that's simple enough to easily make your own.
£300; tmlewin.co.uk
New Amsterdam Surf Association
An oversized pinstripe suit endowed with Big Mafia Vibes from a surfing-inspired independent rising label based in Amsterdam. Now, that's a flex.
€460; newamsterdamsurf.com
Mr P
The kind of suit that the smartest, friendliest and savviest man in the room wears, most often with a tee, trainers or, on special occasions, a buttoned-down shirt.
£400; mrporter.com
Uniqlo
Not wool, but Airsense – Uniqlo's trademark fabric that's lightweight, stretchy and drys fast. So, ideal for those who require an everyday suit, especially in this no-nonsense shade of grey.
£109.80; uniqlo.com
Selected Homme
The Danish – famous for their pastries and architecture. And fetching minimalist fashion, as Selected Homme likes to reminds us.
Here we have the Scandi marque's Neil suit, a groomsmen-appropriate khaki two-piece available from John Lewis for an absolute steal.
£215; johnlewis.com
