I feel like I would never personally do that because to me, renting clothes feel almost like cheating. I would hate to walk out in a rental and get all kinds of compliments and in my mind be like, 'This is cool, but this isn't mine". 'Now I feel like an impostor of some kind. I'm not as cool as people think I am. This $2,000 jacket, I just rented for $35.'

I like the idea that you save up and buy something that then becomes part of your life, part of your wardrobe. I think that there's a genuine sort of appreciation for the product when you've put yourself into it. And being outed as a rental customer may even be embarrassing. It would be as if they were pretending to have more money than they did.

What do you guys think of men who rent clothes?

I was not aware that you could rent clothes. At least not in my country.

It seems rarher smart actually, i have three suits but they probably cost 500 euro in total. I have one for weddings and two for work but almost never wear the jacket, its either too hot or in winter im wearing a business sweater anyway

I wouldn't think the guy was weird for doing it at all.

If im going somewhere nice (slim chance to never) then sure i can see renting a nice outfit for a night. Otherwise i rather buy clothes as renting would get expensive after awhile.

Small PP. They're insecure.
Btw what happened to that $2,000 jacket you wore that one time? Looked good on you.

 

[Keihart]

That's weird, the part about wearing clothes as trophies.
I wouldn't do it unless it was extremely convenient...it's also kinda gross if you think that many people have wore it before.

Just lift weights instead

Had to do it once for a wedding with a cutaway coat dress code. Who the fuck has that.

I think every men should have at least one suit tucked away. A suit with shiny shoes are sort of essential unless you somehow made it through jobs interviews without them. For me, on business occasions I use a gray(because it shows experience) wool suit. For informal business settings, I have a blue(because it shows trust) polyester blazer with matching slacks. Since my work requires business casual, I mostly wear dress shirts and business pants. I guess I don't know what it's like to have to rent clothes.

I got some fairly worn out size 15 work boots I'm willing to rent put for a few bucks a day. Holla at ya boy

Came here for this but you beat me.

When I was young and short of cash but still wanted to go out to a club, look good and at least try and impress the ladies I learned exactly what clothes stores had a no questions asked return policy. Free clothing rental service. No shame in it, my broke ass looked good.

 

[keraj37]

Actually I don't need this shirt for the rest of this week - so I am waiting for offers.

Renting clothes? There is no logic from a business stand point unless you are renting out suits for weddings etc....

When I wear a suite it's a 150 dollar suite and I get lots of compliments. I don't know what a two thousand dollar suite looks like but I doubt anyone I know or even my employers would know the difference between my 150$ suite and a 2,000 dollar one.


I don't think any clothes I ever wear are expensive enough that renting makes sense. To me this is a strange concept and I suspect that it's generally a bad idea.


How rich are the people you hang out with that this even comes up?

Oh it's quite simply to tell a cheap suit from an expensive one. For me, I can tell by the fabric , craftmanship and fit.

Cheap suits are usually made of fake materials, like polyester. They usually fade after one or two dry cleaning. If you see someone wearing loose or tight suits, it means they got it altered rather than being taylored made. Stitching, seams, and hems are good indicators of quality and price.

yeah no

According to the tag my suite is made out of wool. I don't think most people in my social or work circle could tell the difference between this suite and a much more expensive one.
