"Fancy"
So, I'm assuming I need a suit. I don't own a suit. I don't have a blazer or sportcoat or any of that. I don't even have a shirt that I'd feel comfortable wearing a tie with.
What is a safe bet for a middle-40s dude and how much should it cost? I wanna look nice but not like a poof. I want ONE suit, not multiple suits. I don't wanna spend 1000 bucks either, because as referenced above, I don't even have one now, so I'm not going to need one that costs me a grand and I hang in my closet for another 2 years.
Links would be appreciated.
