Men’s Wearhouse has stores all over the US along with its online website. Offering a wide selection of tuxedos and suits for any occasion, you can rent or buy the ensemble of your choice. For tuxedo rentals, they do recommend calling ahead for an appointment since the selection and fitting process takes a bit of time. They suggest a minimum time of 14 days before your event so you will get the suit on time. You can rent the suit for up to two weeks, and you can return it to any of their many locations.

After Hours Formalwear

Send copies of the suit color choices to friends and family for their opinion or approval. The site also offers advice on suit/tuxedo selection, wedding tips, and how to put on ties.

Tips for Tuxedo Rentals

So you’ve found the right place for your tuxedo rental, now what? Check out the following tips:

Get a professional to measure you for the perfect fit.

When reviewing the different colors and styles make sure it is appropriate for the occasion. Is it black tie event or some other variation? When in doubt, go for a conservative look. Nothing is more embarrassing than looking at your pictures years later in a crazy looking (and unflattering) ensemble.

For prom events, color coordinate with your date so you will not clash. Also, make plans to rent your tuxedo a least a month in advance.

If you are a member of the groom’s wedding party, all participants must have matching tuxedos. When renting your tuxedo for this special occasion, give yourself 2 to 3 months in advance.

For black tie events, choose the color of your tuxedo based on the time of day and the nature of the occasion. Gray is appropriate for before 6pm, while black is best for evening events.
