This one comes straight from you — our gentlemen readers.
It has come to our attention that while some of you out there would love to dress fresh to death at all times, you believe that achieving that goal is beyond your means.
It's not.
Affordable men's fashion is everywhere, and with a few key pieces, you can make your wardrobe look crisp and tidy. Business Insider reached out to some of our favorite men's fashion bloggers and retailers to get their opinion on where to get a stylish wardrobe without breaking the bank.
Think about it: They love clothes, but a brother still needs money to eat.
We've organized this list by item, and with each item we've included a list of awesome retailers — including some you've probably never heard of — that carry what you need, in a reasonable price range.
Special thanks to Sabir Peele of Men's Style Pro, who sent us an especially awesome list of stores. Follow him on Instagram here.
Suits, under $650
Why you need them: For obvious reasons, you need a suit, and the truth is, it should be made to measure. Our good friend, The Fine Young Gentleman, wrote an excellent post for us about how you can get a made-to-measure suit without spending a trillion dollars. Read it. Then read it again.
Also, remember, you can't go wrong with gray, navy, and black.
Where to get them: FYG recommends brands like Indochino, Black Lapel, Knot Standard, and My Suit.

Dress shirts, $60-$85
Why you need them: This goes without saying: You need something to wear to the office, and you may not want to spend $200 on something from say, Thomas Pink.
Where to get them: For a perfect fit we highly recommend our friends at Hugh and Crye, based in DC. Also SuitSupply.com and Lands' End Canvas have good stuff ranging from $56-$80.
Casual shirts, $45-$85
Why you need them: Dude, you can't wear a T-shirt everywhere.
Where to get them: This item's not too hard to find, but we especially love Frank and Oak for this. Everything's under $50 and they have a great selection, but you have to sign up and be member (which is free). There's also NewLook.com (out of the U.K.), which has a huge variety of styles, fabrics, and brands at low prices.
