If you will have future use of a tux (2-3 times per year), and you attend many black tie events, then it makes sense to buy a tux. As I mentioned, a custom made (or bespoke) tux will fit like nothing you’ve ever owned. Davide Cotugno, of Executive Tailors says, “Over the years, most grooms have opted to rent a tuxedo for their wedding, but with rentals now topping over $250 its no wonder that many make an investment in their own custom tuxedo. It’s yours, it wasn’t worn the night before and most importantly, it fits correctly.”
Davide continues, “I usually recommend to my clients that unless you plan on wearing a tuxedo more than 2-3 times a year apres wedding, don’t invest a lot of money. With custom tuxedos starting around $1300, the value is certainly in looking great on your big day and as the groom, you need to stand out from your groomsmen.” Excellent point.
You will not only look good but you will feel good, as well. And this is always important for great wedding photos. Buying a tux can expensive. But, as I mentioned, if you will be wearing it a lot in the future, it will pay for itself in no time and you will look awesome. Not to mention, that most top custom tailors will treat you like a king.
