The Tuxedo is one heck of an outfit!

For men, there is nothing more formal or elegant than a well made and well-fitting tuxedo.

Whether it’s for the prom, a formal event, a wedding, or any other decorous ritual, the complex stitching and precise manufacture of the tuxedo stand out as the last word in male attire.

Tuxedo rental phoenix prices at the Big Box stores can be very scary. Why pay more? Same tux rental at a local Tuxedo shop and awesome service and products.

However, the complex and precise nature of the tuxedo comes at a cost, quite literally! Unless you are a high powered lawyer or a wealthy businessman, the tuxedo will almost certainly be the most expensive outfit you hang on your body in any given year. With a decent ensemble starting in the mid 400 dollar range and skyrocketing from there, affordable tuxedos can be hard to find. Furthermore, as stunning as a tuxedo can be, there are very few situations when such formal dress is expected or appropriate. Add to that the danger that a bit of weight gained or lost could render your investment valueless, and suddenly that shiny suit is looking more like a boat anchor than a rainmaker.
