Buying a tuxedo is an investment and depending on the occasion, you can spend as low as $100 or as high as $50,000, no joke! This will depend of course, on various factors which could affect its price. Whether you rent a tux or buy one, it is important to know why they are charging the said amount for your tuxedo. If you are going to an event but rarely use tuxedos, then the best option you can take is renting one. But, renting tuxedos don’t come cheap either as they can start at $100 and upwards. You must also take into consideration the things that make the tux expensive. This could be the following: Materials used Maker or brand Quality of workmanship If you are planning to rent a whole ensemble or only a tuxedo jacket. The secret lies in the details of the tuxedo itself and oftentimes, this is not noticed. Not only that, but the high-quality materials used in creating the tux also plays a role in the price too. If you love branded or designer tux then expects to pay more than you have bargained for.
