Guys, it's time to suit up. And to help you along, our style editors and experts rigorously tested an array of suit brands (of all different price points) to provide you with a guide to the 22 best options on the market.

Before diving in, we want to acknowledge that this is not an exhaustive list. Great tailors are working worldwide, especially in the bespoke space, to craft some exceptional suits—but those require multiple in-person visits, so we didn't include any here.

This list is about great ready-to-wear options that pair well with your favorite long-sleeved shirt, can be tracked down without hassle, and serve as a more put-together alternative to the solo blazer you wear with dress pants to the office. So have at it; we guarantee you'll never look better.

The Affordable Guys

Abercrombie

Ah, Abercrombie. We know, it's a surprising place to start considering the brand's iconic mall presence (and shirtless dudes), but it also produces impressive suits. Established in 1892, Abercrombie underwent a transformative rebrand in 2021, attracting a fresh, diverse market. Its suits stand out for being affordable and lightweight, offering exceptional value without compromising style or quality.

J.Crew

If you've ever wondered, Where are men buying suits off the rack? I'm going to let you in on a little secret—it's most likely at J.Crew. The brand introduced its popular Ludlow suit to the masses in 2008, bringing an easy-to-wear, casual “un-suit” option to the market. Since then, it has become a purveyor of reasonably priced suits made from lightweight and breathable fabrics.

Spier & Mackay

When Spier & Mackay first started, it had one main goal: to disrupt the broken, traditional menswear model and provide its customers with exceptional value and a great experience. Its suits are crafted from cloth by textile greats like Dino Filarte, Guabello, and Vitale Barberis Canonico, to name a few, which helps give the suits a beautiful drape and a perfectly executed lapel roll.

Plus, it offers an on-demand style-advice service, just in case you ever need a second opinion.

Brunello Cucinelli

If you've ever dabbled deeply into the Esquire style section, then you'll know that we've waxed poetic about Brunello Cucinelli a time or two before.

There's no mistaking a Thom Browne suit for one from another brand—they're just that iconic.

From 1994 to 2004, Ford served as the creative director of Gucci, and his tenure there is often referred to as the golden years of the brand.
