When did this happen? I went to shop for a suit for an upcoming event only to find that anything worth wearing starts at $ 899 and he average, in the stores I surveyed is $1299. What are these suits made of?
Regardless of the brand, and brand counts, we are talking about a jacket and a pair of pants! As a long time fan of What Not to Wear I understand that women's clothing has intricate work, special fabric, but for a jacket and pants, with very little variation in style, why the outrageous prices.
Perhaps it is because the suit departments have all but disappeared. Nordstrom's once large department in White Plains has all but disappeared, Darien Sport Shop, same thing, even Brooks Brothers has paired down their suit square footage, but not their prices, in favor of the more sporty look.
So what to do? I'll keep shopping, hope for sales and see if I can find a suitable suit.
