Best place for a cheap suit?!

Dollymixture · 14 Nov 21, 12:18 AM

My husband has a job interview for a trainee recovery hgv driver. It specifies to come in interview appropriate clothing. I am guessing this means a suit?

Where is the best place we can try to get a cheap suit that will do for interviews from the mainstream shops?

Thanks

Matalan they have good quality suits and very good prices 👍🏻

Slaters menswear, free alterations if required.

Supermarkets (Asda, Sainsburys, Tesco), Matalan, Peacocks, Primark, Next are good places to start.

Good luck to your husband with his interview 😊

I'm not sure I'd go in a suit for this role.

How about smart trousers, shirt and jumper/jacket?

Appropriate to me means not hi-viz work wear or jeans/joggers.

Good luck.

I agree with previous poster, a suit may not be necessary. I would say a good pair of trousers with a shirt/ jumper and nicely cleaned shoes rather than a cheap suit.
For an interview he wants to feel comfortable and if he isn�t used to wearing a suit he won�t be.

Hope the interview goes well for him !

I agree with this.. smart casual would be appropriate, I think. Some nice trousers (not jeans), a smart shirt and a blazer/jacket. A tie if he feels comfortable in it, but not necessary. Just a clean, smart appearance is all they are looking for, I think.

Best of luck to him!

Sorry, but I would advise a suit for all interviews.

Next clearance a good option too.

You can hire suits from places, Moss Bros for example. They do normal suits as well as tails etc. Depends how much buying would be ( I was going to suggest matalan) and if you think he would ever wear it again. I assume he cant borrow one from a friend or relative?
