hi, i'm looking to buy a slim fitting, modern suit, or separate dress pants and blazer. im a tall skinny build, and i am definitely going for the modern look, so slim tapered dress pants, and a blazer that pinches in slightly at the waist. however i am on a budget.

i know that h&m and zara are generally the best places to go, but both seem to be at the end of a sale and i couldnt find my sizes. anyone have any recommendations? i really liked the stuff zara makes, but i couldnt find my size. i called 3 stores and all of them seem to be pretty low on stock, but i would like to find something in the same price range (high school student).

any help is appreciated.

mexxx was surprisingly traditional with their suits and pants. i guess they are more traditional european rather than the minimalistic/modern look i am looking for.

I bought a pair of wool modern suit pants at BR for $49.99 (original $130). Its a gray/brown colour.. looks gray.. they had tons of sizes at Yorkdale.

Really? What do you mean by traditional? Are you judging by the look?
But I thought their suits are more modern european in cutting.
