Renting A Suit Is Wrong
Men’s suits have been around for centuries. The human race views these garments as the most important and powerful garments ever created. You’ll find them on business men in every country, the stronger the business and the higher the position, the better the suit.
However, suits are not just used in the business world. Fashionable and formal occasions almost always employ the use of suits. You’ll find these types of suits at weddings, funerals, proms, fashion shows, and award ceremonies.
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.
Another reason to own a suit is the ability to choose the garment that looks best on you only once and to then have it forever. Rental companies will not always have your favorite suit in your size on the day you need it.
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.
Remember to treat your suit buying event as an investment period rather than a budget breaking event. View your suit purchase as a money saving, rental fee eliminating tool, and you will never go wrong.
