The link is a *very* extensive list of MTM and bespoke tailoring you can get in NYC.
J. Crew and Todd are good on sale but I wouldn't pay full price for tailoring from either.
Buck Mason's structured stuff is better. You can get a cotton suit from them for ~$600, or you could get a super unstructured suit for like $350... I'd recommend the former.
Suitsupply and Grand le Mar are good values, but not good at unstructured stuff.

two pairs of dress socks...
an old jewish men tee shirt
and a Brooks Brothers tux for $60. not my favorite, but good enough while I take my time and get something made bespoke.

all the off the rack suits on the high street don't last, in-between the trouser legs gets all worn and fluffy, the materials are often polly blend or have a weird shine to them. i'd recommend searching for vintage suits on eBay or vinted of your local charity/thrift stores and then just taking it to the dry cleaners so it's fresh for the big day. then you can find cooler fits too like double breasted jackets, wide lapels, weird patterns, high waists and so on.

Okay, some of my recommendations get expensive, but you didn't state a *specific* budget... Also, my full page of recs leans towards more classic / ivy / tailoring, but there's a good mix, I think.

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
