True Cost of Owning vs Renting a Suit

  • Education

You think renting a suit is a clever wallet-friendly hack, right? 

Hold on to your lapels, because we're about to turn that idea inside out. Sure, renting seems like the budget-friendly option at first glance, but is it really saving you money in the long run? 

We're here to take a good look at the hidden costs of renting and the unexpected perks of owning that sharp suit. So, get ready for some eye-opening revelations and a bit of suit wisdom that might just change the way you dress for those special occasions.

Rent Vs Buy

Rent: 

Rental Price: $150

Rental Full Purchase Price: $600

Buy: 

Purchase Price: $250

Purchase Full Purchase Price: $350

Buying a suit, especially a tailored one, offers distinct advantages that make it a worthwhile investment:

  • Perfect Fit: Tailored suits are customized to your body, offering a fit that enhances your appearance and comfort. This level of personalization can't be matched by rental suits.
  • Quality and Durability: Purchased suits are generally of higher quality, lasting longer than rentals. This means they can endure numerous events over the years, providing better value for your investment. Because used suits are worn and cleaned multiple times, they can be threadbare and poor quality. 
  • Personal Style: Owning a suit allows for complete customization in terms of fabric, color, and details. This level of choice lets you express your unique style, something rentals can't offer.
  • Convenience: With your own suit, you avoid the hassle of renting for every event. Your suit is always ready, tailored to you, and waiting in your wardrobe.
  • No Hidden Costs: Owning a suit means no unexpected rental fees or damage charges. It's a straightforward investment without the limitations and additional costs of renting.

While buying and tailoring a suit might seem like a bigger investment upfront, the long-term benefits of fit, quality, style, and convenience make it an attractive option for anyone looking to enhance their wardrobe for special occasions.

When You Wear It Twice

Let's talk about why your Modern Groom (MG) suit isn't just a one-hit wonder. 

After you rock your MG suit at your wedding, that's just the beginning. This suit is your style sidekick for all sorts of events—from fancy parties to big-deal business meets. Every time you button it up, you're not just looking dapper. You're driving down the cost-per-wear and making that initial investment a total steal. 

Plus, you're always event-ready—no frantic rental searches. Each outing adds to your suit's story, making it more than just threads and stitches; it's a collection of your awesome moments. 

So, your MG suit? It's not just for the big "I do"—it's for all the "heck yes" moments that follow!

Pros of Owning 

Owning a suit, like the sharp ones from Modern Groom, is packed with perks that make it a smart move:

  • Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Sure, buying a suit hits the wallet at first, but think long-term. The more you wear it, the cheaper each outing gets, beating the pants off renting every time.
  • Your Style, Your Rules: When you buy, you call the shots on the look. Pick your fabric, fit, and all those cool little details. It’s like making your style statement loud and clear.
  • Tailored Just for You: Nothing beats a suit that’s been tweaked to fit you perfectly. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling great in something made just for you.
  • Built to Last: These suits aren’t just flash-in-the-pan fashion. They’re made to stick around, saving you from the rent-repeat cycle.
  • Ready Whenever, Wherever: Got a sudden invite? No sweat. Your suit’s there waiting, saving you from those last-minute rental rushes.
  • Green is the New Black: Wearing your suit more than once? That’s a win for the planet, cutting down on waste big time.
  • Memories Included: Each wear adds to your suit’s story. It’s not just fabric; it’s a collection of your good times.

So, snagging your own suit is about saving cash over time, rocking your style, enjoying top-notch quality, making memories, and even doing a bit for the environment. Can’t put a price on that!
