Should you Rent or Buy?

When it comes to formal events, knowing whether to rent or buy a tuxedo or suit can save you time, money, and stress. At Tuxedo by Sarno, we help you make the right choice with flexible options tailored to your needs.

Renting is a cost-effective and convenient choice for one-time events such as weddings, proms, or black-tie galas. Here’s why renting may be the best option:

  • Lower Cost: Renting a full tuxedo package is often much cheaper than buying, especially for a one-time event.

  • Access to Designer Styles: Rent the latest designer tuxedos and suits without the commitment of ownership.

  • No Long-Term Maintenance: After your event, simply return your tuxedo—no need for dry cleaning, storage, or alterations later.

  • Perfect Fit Every Time: Our professional in-store fittings ensure your rented tuxedo or suit looks flawless.

Buying a tuxedo or suit is ideal if you attend multiple formal events or want a permanent addition to your wardrobe. Advantages of buying include:

  • Personalized Style: Own your tuxedo or suit exactly the way you want it, including custom-made options with your choice of fabric, lining, and details.

  • Unlimited Use: Wear your suit or tuxedo for multiple events without worrying about rental deadlines.

  • Long-Term Investment: High-quality formalwear can last for years with proper care.
