The Only Thing Better Than a Sharp Suit Is a Sharp Suit on Sale

There are plenty of reasons to get a suit: weddings, dinners, for the love of the game, but chief among them is getting one on sale. It just so happens that there are only a few times a year when a window opens and you can reasonably expect to find a (good) suit on sale. We are, however, in one of those windows, making this the perfect time to round up some of our favorite suits currently on sale.We’re not talking funky seasonal fare, either. These are classics, all built for warmer months (although some are primed to take on a bit of chill in the air) and all thoroughly on sale. Pinstripes, herringbones, classic navy, and even a tux can be had at a fraction of the original price. And when there’s this much meat left on the wedding season bone, no excuse for a new suit is needed. But while all these are built to last—and styled to do the same— these deals are most certainly not. We’d advise taking a swing early to avoid any sale-related regret.28% Off J.Crew Relaxed-Fit SuitAt under $500, this featherweight cotton suit was a killer deal the day it dropped, but now that J.Crew has knocked another 30% off the price, it’s on another level altogether. Garment-washed for a softer, more relaxed feeling, the two-button jacket has some healthy lapels and a double-vented back, while the relaxed trousers have a single-pleat, a cheeky little coin pocket, and a relaxed fit through the legs.J.CrewRelaxed-Fit Suit JacketJ.CrewRelaxed-Fit Suit Pant44% Off Our Legacy Unconstructed Ceremony Blazer and Slack TrouserYou could call the subtly pinstriped fabric the star of this particular show, or you could lock in on the slight flare at the hem, but if you’re looking for a rakish, loose-fitting suit that will get serious run for years to come, the silhouette is the headliner here. And while you should never buy a suit for the separates, there aren’t many suits that come pre-loaded with this much casual wear potential.Our LegacyUnconstructed Ceremony Blazer55% Off Barena Garment-Dyed Cotton-Blend SuitOne could search far and wide for a more relaxed, laid-back suit and still not find one that out-chills this Venetian-made, garment-dyed, lightweight number from Barena. The jacket is completely unlined and has a double-vented back to keep things cool when the weather isn’t, the pants have a classic straight leg, one that will look good in lieu of some jeans or chinos.BarenaSlim-Fit Garment-Dyed Cotton-Blend Suit JacketBarenaStraight-Leg Garment-Dyed Cotton-Blend Suit Trousers22% Off Crosby Classic-Fit SuitThe Crosby is slightly slimmer than the Relaxed-Fit silhouette elsewhere on this list, but don’t confuse it with the J.Crew skinny suits of yore. Up top, the classic-fitting jacket is partially lined and double-vented, and on the bottom, there’s still an ample amount of room in the leg to keep things as un-clingy as possible during the dog days. Oh, and this one is made with a gorgeous linen herringbone fabric, which means it’ll shine through the entirety of wedding season.J.CrewCrosby Classic-Fit Suit JacketJ.CrewCrosby Classic-Fit Suit Pant60% off Dries Van Noten Loose Fit SuitIn no world is $1,000 inexpensive, but saving yourself $1,500 on a suit of this caliber is an unmitigated deal. Made from a wool fabric that’s got a little bit of texture-enhancing mohair woven into it, the ‘70s-esque three-button blazer sits a touch looser on the body, while the trousers have a slight flare at the hem to add some further drama to it all. This is the most expensive suit on this list, but there’s a good argument to be made that this is also the best deal on this list between the tailoring chops, the pedigree, the fabric quality, and the beefy 60% discount.Dries Van NotenLoose Fit SuitDries Van NotenLoose Fit Suit42% Off Banana Republic Relaxed Italian Barathea TuxedoWe’d be somewhat disingenuous if we said owning a tuxedo is a requisite: there are plenty of great rental options and for most of us, the scenarios in which we’d be required to go full black tie are few and far between. But that doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly nice to own a tuxedo, one that’s been permanently altered to reflect your measurements, one that you don’t have to wait to arrive, one that’s always ready for some well-heeled deployment. And while investing in a lush tux can be worth it, snagging one like this beautiful Banana Republic number for under $525 is the type of decision you’ll rarely regret.Banana RepublicRelaxed Italian Barathea Tuxedo JacketBanana RepublicStraight Italian Barathea Tuxedo Pant
