Zoot Suit Rental
One unique and different formal wear option is zoot suit rental. The revival of swing dancing and 1940s culture has led to a return in popularity of the zoot suit. Rentals are available in many cities, and a quick search online or in the phone book can help you find a rental shop.
The zoot suit originated in the 1940s and is distinguished by trousers with wide legs and tight cuffs, and a long jacket with exaggerated lapels and shoulders. Quite often, they are in flashy colors, although black or basic pinstripes are also popular.
Zoot Suits are great for proms, parties, or just a night on the town. You'll make quite an impression and be the center of attention in a flashy set of threads. If you're planning a wedding, outfitting the groomsmen in zoot suits will create a unique and striking look.
And if you're considering buying a suit, renting one beforehand can also let you try out different styles, cuts and colors before you take the plunge and buy a new suit. Quite often, shops that rent zoot suits also sell them and may even do tailoring. They can also help you with accessories such as shoes, hats, ties, and even the traditional long watch chain or keychain without which any zoot suit would be incomplete.
