Good Place to buy Suits

I have to get a bunch of suits for work and I need a place where I can mix and match sizes because I don't wear the same size on bottom and top. Any suggestions? Also I don't like NY&Co because their clothes stretch out too much.

Thanks

Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft let's you mix and match sizes. Also Lord and Taylor's Kate Hill line is good for suit separates

A lot of my suites are from Express. They hold up pretty well as long as you don't dry clean them every time you wear them. I like them because I can just buy off the rack no alterations needed.

J.Crew, Banana have good ones too but I always need some kind of alteration with theirs.

If you are going to be wearing a suit everyday I highly suggest (after you start working and have a little money) investing in a few really good suits. Go to different places (nordstrom, saks, etc.) try them on, get a feel for what you like and have them tailored to fit you. They are expensive but a good investiment.

Re: Good Place to buy Suits

I totally have the same issues when buying suits - different sizes top and bottom. I've gotten a few from Express.

I also got a few from Lord & Taylor - but they weren't mix and match. I just tried a bunch on til I found ones that fit me well enough in the size they had.

I've found that Anne Klein suits tend to fit pretty nicely in one size for top and bottom. And I love that the waist line does not come all the way up above my belly button like a lot of suits do - I hate that!!!
