I need to get a suit for job interviews, and looking online it didnt take me long to realize I dont know anything about suits.

I have a friend who works in fashion and I was going to get her to help me, but I also want to know stuff on my own too.

is there an infographic or does anyone want to tell me where and what are good buys? like pic related, except with what stores are reputable, and what price ranges are too high/low

If it helps, I am 5'8" master race, hail from /fit/, so I'm in pretty good shape (~13% bodyfat 160 lbs, between ottermode and athletic, aiming for athletic and 165-170 lbs and 10% bf by fall). I'm graduating next winter with a degree in engineering, but may want to work outside of industry for a while. Thinking CIA, DoD, DEA, etc.

I went to a talk recently from an industry recruitment agency for science, engineering and technology. the guy said what you should wear is nice fitted pants, matching belt, and a nice shirt. tie and jacket are optional nowadays and by no means important

Might be something to take into consideration - that you'll stand out if you're confident and well dressed without wearing a suit. Ofc it would help to know the age of the person doing the interview before hand as well. Older gentlemen would prefer a suit and tie probably whereas a younger (mid 30s or under) guy probably wouldnt.

This but I'd also say know the firm. I'm in some pretty technical consulting but I wouldn't dream of wearing anything less than a full suit and tie most days. Some clients I do end up dressing a bit down but if you are doing anything involving professional services def make sure you match the employees there.

If you are applying for straight codemonkey jobs then its probably ok to just be neat.
