I need help finding a cheap suit for a late summer wedding, September. Im 20 and know nothing about suits. I was thinking about just going to a suit supply store and buying one there, but honestly even that can get kinda expensive for a poor college student. I really dont want to spend more than $500 on EVERYTHING, shirt, shoes, belt, suit etc...
Is it acceptable to get a blazer and trousers and rock that? I'm pretty sure the dress code isnt super strict.

When is the wedding and do you have a role?

You can rent suits for well less than that.

Why are these fuckers always carrying around bags. Considering they have jackets with pockets, and most guys are just fine with pants pockets, I see these bags as unnecessary and annoying accessories.

Honestly, just go to Target. The suits are not cut too short like fast fashion, and look semi-decent. If you shop around Amazon, you can sometimes find a great price. I have been able to get Piatelli suits, which were previously sold at Barneys for only $40 on Amazon.
They also have great prices on shoes too if you look. The shoes I am going to recommend searching for are not very high quality, but will look decent enough and serve the purpose at a really good price in some cases.

But I also don't live in an area where people drive often. Also, having things in your pockets in a suit for a very long time consistently will destroy your suit.

But really, in the case of the photo and many other blog types of images, it's only to satisfy some sort of #menswear requirement.

Yeah, but it's also a staged photo.

Try living in NYC where you don't drive and can't keep anything in your car.
Bags are a part of life here.

Are tailor4less/hockerty suits any good? They seem to have a pretty reasonable price range, for suits made to measures

If you have lucky body frame so tailoring won't be needed, h&m will give you great price/value suits, no jokes.
For crazy cheap and still good looking suits always go for h&m
