What is a good place to buy nice, slim fitted smart shirts in the UK that aren't too expensive?
TM Lewin & Charles Thyrwitt are you best bet i'd say (if the cut is ok for you)
How often are you supposed to rotate/change your suit? I have two suits at the moment.
Will you have client facing to do? If yes, a third might be useful
Is it more front or back/middle Office? Rules for back & middle are usually far more relaxed.
Managerial Position? a third might be useful
Specific Company dress code?
I'm still for a few weeks a non-managerial executive in an Asset & Fund Services service of a major bank. People dress quiet casually except exec level (specific Dress Code), new guys that don't want to be underdressed and Relationship Manager/Sales (Client Facing).
Personnally being really tall and thin ( 1.93 cm and 70 kg) i tend to rock a vest and a pants rather than a full suit to avoid looking like a slenderman and i'm seen as the snob/dandy of the office.
How often is the suit supposed to be cleaned/washed?
Dry Cleaning, once, maybe twice a year
When it gets two wrinkley: hang it in you bathroom when you take a hot shower, it should ease it
Thinking of buying 2 more suits and a ton of shirts. I might need to buy 10 additional shirts.
lots of shirts are indeed a plus. If the dresscode allow you, you can maybe get a few vests and some nice pants
Have a navy and dark grey suit. What colour combos go well? What colour shirts shall I purchase?
Flusser would say that it depends of you skin complexion.
Those posts from Parisian Gentleman (in french sorry) can help you:

Next up: Ties. What colour ties should I have? What style ties?
Get a colourwheel.
There is also some rules regarding pattern, like no stripe on stripe and such

Hope it helps.
