If there’s one thing most men know, it’s that a classic suit never goes out of style. From fresh blues to simple greys, smart, sophisticated tailoring – dressed up or down – is appropriate for almost any occasion.

However, with trends, prints and cuts ever changing, there’s an argument in defence of affordable suiting. Bought in the right colour and cut for the wearer (and with a few nips and tucks from your tailor), there’s no reason why a £200 suit can’t look like it cost £2,000.

Thus, here are some of the best suits of the season, all at under £500 a pop.

1. ASOS Skinny Suit In Green

A key colour trend for AW15, green makes an eye-catching alternative to standard blacks, blues and greys.

ASOS’ take comes in a modern cut with a single button opening and peak lapels. The blazer will also make a great separate to wear with dark denim, and for an extra £22 you can transform it from a two-piece into a three-piece; proving this set-up exceptional value for money.

Available at ASOS.

2. Suitsupply Hudson Brown Herringbone Suit

Taken from Suitsupply’s new autumn/winter 2015 collection, this light brown suit offers something a little different without going overboard.

Sharp, sophisticated and easy on the eye, the herringbone wool fabric used by the Amsterdam-based business is the perfect texture for taking on the colder months in style.

Available at Suitsupply.

3. Charles Tyrwhitt Mid Blue Windowpane Slim Fit Travel Suit

For something slightly more understated, but still on-trend, try this affordable number from British tailoring brand Charles Tyrwhitt.

The deep navy blue windowpane cloth is constructed from 100 per cent wool in a birdseye weave. Not sure what that means? Check out our guide to the nine fabric patterns every stylish man should know.

4. Mango Slim-Fit Cool Wool Suit

Slim silhouettes have dominated the tailoring world in recent years, with a tapered, form-fitting cut providing a contemporary update on the menswear uniform.
