He has a black pinstrip Ralph Lauren suit that is gorgeous from Dillards - but about 3 years ago. He hasn't gotten a new suit in awhile, and the next one he will buy is a khaki suit for our wedding in October!

I think it really depends on how often he would wear it. But, then again if you rent two or three times you could pay for it.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510971989522522535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-3170325327450173592009-05-21T18:46:40.469-07:002009-05-21T18:46:40.469-07:00every man needs a good suit, but only invest in a ...every man needs a good suit, but only invest in a Tux if he is going to wear it more than once - they are not cheap!

If you're thinking once or twice a year, somewhere like Men's Warehouse or Macy's are a great place to start, because you can get a respectable tuxedo without breaking the bank... and unless you have the money to spend, there isn't a need to go all out if it's not something he'll be wearing frequently. My husband bought an expensive one when he had a reason to wear tuxes frequently, but now that he does not (and he became a bit too 'plump' for his previous tux) he just went with a basic $350 Ralph Lauren because it just wasn't worth the investment to spend more if he's not going to pull it out of the closet more than once a year.Julie @ Bunsen Burner Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279523327409654066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-56918446013875400962009-05-21T18:21:01.627-07:002009-05-21T18:21:01.627-07:00I totally agree that every man needs a good tux. ...I totally agree that every man needs a good tux. My husband fights me on this, unfortunately, and we have been renting when a tux is necessary. I am convinced this is the year to buy one.Brittany Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316417410513395767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-76358139674276716362009-05-21T18:16:38.325-07:002009-05-21T18:16:38.325-07:00Chris isn't much of a tux kinda guy, but we did in...Chris isn't much of a tux kinda guy, but we did invest in an incredible suit from JCrew. :)The Hnou Mrs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00367322342665224241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-60446648707522393622009-05-21T18:14:11.722-07:002009-05-21T18:14:11.722-07:00Hubs has one, but it is now a little snug.
