Advice On When and Why To Buy A Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

The world of tuxedos is full of rented and borrowed garments that have been around for far too long. Renting is acceptable for some tuxedo wearers, but not for all.

I wrote this article to help give people the knowledge they need to determine whether they should buy or rent. After reading this article you will be prepared prepared to make a definite decision.

Firstly, you need to know how often you will be wearing a tuxedo over the next few years. A good way to determine this is to look at the past few years. If you have been averaging more than once every two years than it is a good idea to buy a tuxedo.

The cost of a tuxedo is dramatically less than the inexperienced buyer believes. The reality is that most people will make money by purchasing instead of renting.

Also you don't have to buy everything that you would normally rent with a tuxedo package. For instance you can use the black dress shoes you wear with your suit for your tuxedo. You can also use the white dress shirt you normally wear to work.

The whole rental operation can be quite frustrating. Tuxedo renters need to go to the shop a minimum of three times and must remember to bring the tux back in a timely manner or face late charges. Avoid this stress by making a tuxedo purchase.

Lastly, the joy of ownership is a fantastic feeling that is felt in a tuxedo purchase the same way it is felt in a suit purchase. You may even feel better after purchasing your tux, because it is something unique that many people do not get to do.

Keep these thoughts in the back of your mind the next time you are asked to an event that requires you to wear a tuxedo. You may just decide to buy one rather than rent.
