Zara is the answer.  Men’s fashion at a reasonable price is the question.

Why do I love Zara so much?  It’s because their stuff is stylish, super cool and pretty inexpensive.  The only issue you will probably run into is how much stock they carry on a constant basis and inconsistent sizing.

Aside from that, almost everything in the store is money.  The next time you’ve got an event, check out your local Zara store and I am pretty sure you’ll find something that fits perfectly.

Here’s a little more information from the Zara Wiki:

Zara is the flagship chain store of Inditex Group owned by Spanish tycoon Amancio Ortega, who also owns brands such as Massimo Dutti, Pull and Bear, Oysho, Uterqüe, Stradivarius and Bershka. The group is headquartered in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, where the first Zara store opened in 1975. It is claimed that Zara needs just two weeks to develop a new product and get it to stores, compared with a six-month industry average, and launches around 10,000 new designs each year. Zara has resisted the industry-wide trend towards transferring fast fashion production to low-cost countries. Perhaps its most unusual strategy was its policy of zero advertising; the company preferred to invest a percentage of revenues in opening new stores instead.
