Should I own a suit?

Yes.

Since you likely will keep filling out until mid 20s, you probably want something on the cheap that will fit you well now. Go to H&M and pick out a jacket and matching trousers.

If you’re going to splurge on any item, get a pair of quality shoes in a timeless style. If you take care of them, they will pay for themselves because they will last you 5-10 years of everyday wear (with one or two resolings). A poorly constructed pair (like Kenneth Cole) will last you a year of everyday wear. Find a pair of Allen Edmonds on sale. I bought a similar pair on sale for half of retail; there’s some sticker shock but again they will pay for themselves over time.
