Where would I get a nice blazer at a reasonable price point? I don't need it to be cheap cheap, just not Brooks Brothers prices. What about a suit, if that's what he prefers?

He's usually in jeans and sweats and hasn't dressed up this much since we could manage it with Gymboree!


Men’s Wearhouse has been pretty good for DC. They offer a range of price points, definitely not Brooks Brothers prices but not cheap cheap either.

For a growing boy who won’t likely wear it more than once or twice, head to Goodwill or similar. We found three great looking, near new, high quality sport coat/blazers for our freshman heading to a boarding school with a dress code. They were $25 each. I will need to replace next year, and won’t worry about the cost.

Macy's - Kenneth Cole Reaction. Cheaper than Men's Wearhouse and J Crew.
