Which suit is better for travel?

The Kenneth Cole. Its stretch basketweave fabric and shoulder gusset are built for movement, and buyers say it travels without wrinkling. The DKNY is a standard suiting fabric with no stretch claims.

Which has the better size range?

The DKNY. It comes in Regular, Petite/Short, Big and Tall. The Kenneth Cole comes only in Regular and Tall, with a fixed 32" hemmed pant.

Is the Kenneth Cole worth the extra money?

At their lowest recorded prices they are equal: $119.99 each. The Kenneth Cole has the higher rating and stretch fabric, so it is the better value at the same price. Above $119.99, weigh the DKNY's size and color range against that.

Which suit runs smaller?

Both run tight. The DKNY is a modern fit that buyers say runs small in the jacket and arms. The Kenneth Cole is a slim fit, so it is also close-cut. Size up in either if you are between sizes.

Do the pants need hemming?

The Kenneth Cole ships with a hemmed 32" pant, so no. The DKNY pant has a finished hem but is sized by a 7" drop from the jacket, so check the waist and length against your measurements.

Which has the better buyer rating?

The Kenneth Cole, at 3.9 out of 5 from 1,100 ratings, against 3.6 out of 5 from 514 ratings for the DKNY.

DKNY Modern Fit Suit vs Kenneth Cole Ready Flex Slim-Fit Suit

Both suits cost $119.99 at their lowest recorded prices, so price does not separate them. The Kenneth Cole is the safer buy for most shoppers: it rates higher (3.9 vs 3.6), uses stretch fabric that travels well, and ships with a hemmed 32" pant. Pick the DKNY only if you need its wider size range, including Big, Tall, Petite/Short, or a specific color like tan or red.
