Mens Formal Wear - Hiring or Buying
Do you break out in a sweat when you read the words "black tie" on an invitation? Do you even know what "black tie" is?
It can be daunting being invited to an event that requires some degree of formalwear, whether it be a school prom or a swanky wedding. And if this is your first such invitation you are unlikely to have the perfect outfit lurking at the back of the wardrobe. So where do you start?
First of all you need to determine exactly what dress code is called for. Usually it is specified on the invitation, but if in doubt simply ask. Then once you know what is expected, you need to decide whether it is better to hire or buy. There are certainly pros and cons for both hiring and buying mens formal wear.
The most obvious question to ask yourself is "am I likely to ever wear this outfit again?" If the answer is no then you would think hiring would be the obvious solution. But not necessarily as you also have to consider the occasion. For example are you the bridegroom or a member of the wedding party? Will the bride ever forgive you if you hire a suit while everyone else buys matching outfits.
If you are likely to attend other occasions where mens formal is required, then it is definitely worth the investment, especially if the invitation calls for "black tie" or simply "formal" rather than the more exclusive "white tie".
If you are still in your youth, then purchasing may not be a sensible option. You probably have some growing left to do, in which case hiring mens formal wear is definitely a good choice.
And if you are not a so-called "standard size" or if the thought of wearing something that countless others have worn gives you the heebie jeebies, then buying is probably the way to go.
If you have a good black business suit, and the event is not too formal, maybe all you need to buy is a crisp white shirt and a black silk bow tie.
Whether you choose to buy or to hire your mens formal wear, my advice would always to go for classic style and quality. You want to be noticed for all the right reasons.
