A tuxedo is every gentleman’s ultimate dream suit, reserved for some of the most special events of his life. Particularly a wedding is just not complete if the groom doesn’t appear in a tuxedo to take his bride away. Or what about New Years eve? Tuxedos are meant for special occasions, so we wear them rarely. 

So here's the question: Why should you consider buying a Tuxedo then?

Two words:

Quality and look.

High-quality rented tuxedos are pricier than you would think. You can lose a lot of money from renting, as you have to return your tuxedo every time. Combined with the challenge of finding the right size, renting a tuxedo is not only a lose-lose situation, but it’s also time-consuming.

The benefits of a rental service are, you can impress everyone each time by renting different styles of tuxedos.

BUT, wouldn't you get more attention by presenting your own custom tuxedo which can be updated with fancy accessories? You can read more about the add-ons in reason #5.

So, what is better: Buying or renting a tuxedo?

 

1. Save Money

As already mentioned above, there isn't a major price gap between renting and buying a tuxedo. If you have a look at our custom tuxedo collection, you will see what we're talking about. You may find cheaper options when renting a tux but the difference will probably not compensate for it. If you can afford to rent a tuxedo, you can also afford to purchase it. Consider it an investment.  

 

2. The Perfect Fit

Tailored tuxedos are made to measure, you can rock them with elegance, charisma, and effortless charm. This way, you can look highly stylish without having to step out of your comfort zone. Impress the audience! How about  New Years Eve?

If you rent a tuxedo, it will most likely require adjustments.  A made-to-measure tuxedo, on the other hand, will give you the ideal fit.

3. Self-Confidence Booster

Wearing your own tuxedo is such a confidence booster. Wear a tuxedo to the next wedding that you are invited to and see for yourself. Anxious thoughts may kick in —  ‘Aren’t my sleeves a bit too long?’ ‘Do people think that my jacket is a bit too tight?’ Here is the answer: No, not with a custom tuxedo.

A high-quality tuxedo is well worth the money. Invest your money right and become the owner of a made-to-measure tuxedo. Choose the right fabric and, set highlights with details to give your awesome item a personal touch. And the best part: This tuxedo only fits you, and your style. No one else has ever worn it before.

5. Accessorize

Owning a custom tuxedo offers enduring style advantages, yet you may find yourself desiring a refresh after some time. Easily rejuvenate your look with the right accessories. Consider swapping in stylish socks, a sleek belt, or updating your ensemble with a new tie or an elegant bow tie, a favorite among many. Accessories are a simple yet effective way to add a personal touch and keep your outfit feeling contemporary. Explore our extensive collection of add-ons on our website. Also, to complete your formal attire, don't forget to check out our selection of formal men's shoes.

6. Think in the Long Term

Buying a well-tailored tuxedo is much more resourceful than it is to rent one of lower quality. You will not have to pay for any repairs to the rental company either. The tux that you buy, on the other hand, will hardly ever need repairs.

You'll always have use of a tux. After all, it's always good to be prepared for a wedding or a black attire party. 

Think of it this way, if you were to be invited to another fancy event, you'd wish you had one. Also, consider looking for a tuxedo shirt.  Yes, tuxedos need a special formal shirt.

No matter in which situation you are, your suit will look  AMAZING! Upload them on Instagram and the whole world will see, how well-dressed you are.
