Buying A Suit Vs. Renting

By Victor Santerino


Centuries have passed since the creation of the first suit. This piece of clothing is more than just a way to escape the elements. Look for strong and powerful business men of every nation wearing this garment as a badge of their high status and success.

With this in mind we must also note that suits are not just worn in the business arena. Formal events and other fashionable places tend to require suits as well. Just look at any wedding pictures or award ceremony footage and you will know this is true.

Every man participating in society will eventually have to don a suit at some point. However, many men may only need to own one suit their entire lifetime. My dad calls his suit his wedding, funeral, and interview suit.

Now that we all agree that a man will need to own a suit, why buy one rather than rent? The main reason for this is because it is much more convenient and economical to buy rather than rent. Many people say it is just the opposite, so I will try to elaborate in the following paragraphs.

I agree that renting a suit can be convenient at times. However, owing a suit is even more convenient than buying one. This is because you have your suit readily available at all times. Having your suit freshly pressed and in your closet at all times allows you to be ready for quickly set up interviews and last minute invitations.

Owning a suit will also give you the ability to choose a suit that looks fantastic on you the first time. You can buy a suit once and with a little altering have this suit look great on you for the duration of its use.

Lastly a suit purchased will almost always cost you less than the recurring rental fees of a suit. When renting a suit you will need to take into account not just the rental fee but the cost of fuel to get to the rental company and the cost of time lost.

I hope this article has convinced you of the importance of owning a suit rather than just renting one. Remember to think of a suit as an investment rather than just an expensive set of clothes and you will find great success.
