Is it for everyday wear?
If yes go for a mid range price. Top range suits are too fine and do not last long with everyday wear.......they are more for occasional wear.

ok, two of my favourite up-market brands are Hugo Boss and Pierre cardin. Both make beautiful suits, but you will have to pay for it, although Pierre Cardin are cheaper.

Yes, they should have. The last Boss i had was a straight leg, although that was before tapered trousers became all the rage. Up market brands usually make straight leg trousers because it's a more classic look favoured by executives. Just go to a store that stocks a big range of boss suits, becase they do make a big range.
What brand you buy or where you go is lessimportant than the actual fabrics.
Typically, you'll be wearing a wool suit. Wool gets more expensive based on thread count; you'lloften see this reflected as "Super 100s" or "Super 120s"; it ranges all the way up to "Super180s" I think. (That is the highest I have seen).
The higher the number, the finer the fabric, and of course the higher the price. However, there is a notable comfort difference as well. If this is a casual 'once-in-a-while' suit, you'll do fine with 120s.
And a 120 from Boss, Canali, Mens Wearhouse or the pricey shit like Loro Piana is all the same. The highest you'll usually see 'on the rack' is 140, to go above that you will probably have to go to a talior.
Another consideration is the cut. Depending on your body type, ask about the cut. If you have a trye V-shape with skinny legs, you;re looking for the 'European cut'. If your upper body is a little bit more square or you have "squatter's ass", ask about the American cut (since I am assuming you are not having this custom tailored).
Should give you something to start with.

Solid advice from Matt (this guy is good), I'll bet you can find what you need and then some @ a Men's Warehouse. MW has a wide range of choices. I also like browsing @ Penney's or Dillard's they both have good staff help for customers and a pretty wide selection of style & cuts.
