Bespoke is certainly expensive. However, as a fresh college graduate, you probably don't need to need a great suit anytime soon.

As such, you can probably make due with what you have now, and save for shirts and suits in 1-4 years (around the time you'd likely be promoted to a point where you would actually need suits regularly). If you understand fit right now, you are going to look better than a large proportion of people your age already. Getting a bespoke suit now would be a bit overkill.

Great advice. I too didn't get a bespoke suit until after wrking for a few years. But when I finally did since I saved some money for it, I certainly indulged myself.
