The Ultimate Guide to Renting Your First Suit

Welcome to Candidmen's ultimate guide to renting your first suit! Whether you are attending a wedding, or a job interview, or any formal event, renting a suit can be a smart and cost-effective way to look your best without breaking the bank. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to ensure a seamless and stylish suit rental experience with CandidMen.

1. Why Rent a Suit?

Renting a suit has many benefits:

• Cost-Effective: Renting a suit is often much cheaper than buying a new one, especially for events you might not attend frequently.
• Variety: Rental services offer a wide range of styles, colors, and sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect suit for any type of occasion.
• Convenience: Renting eliminates the need for long-term storage and maintenance.
• Experiment: It's easy to experiment with different looks without committing to any single style or look.

2. Know Your Event

Understanding the nature of your event is very crucial:

• Weddings: Weddings call for going all out. Choose from a range of bold colors, patterns and embroideries.
• Business Events: Stick to conservative colors and styles.
• Formal Events: For any black-tie events, a tuxedo is a must.
• Graduation: Choose a well-fitted suit in a solid color or small patterned suit to look sharp and celebrate your achievement.
• Parties: For semi-formal parties, you can experiment with colors and patterns and also sequins and embroideries. Make sure the suit reflects the tone of the event.

3. Understanding Fittings and Measurement

A well-fitted suit is key to looking sharp. Here’s what you need to consider:

• Jacket: Ensure the shoulders fit well, the sleeves are the right length,
• Pants: The waist should be comfortable, and the length should allow for a slight break over your shoes. Ankle length does not look good in a formal setting; it should always cover your ankle for a formal look.
• Shirt: Make sure the the sleeves end at your wrist bone.

4. Booking Your Suit Rental

Timing is everything:

• Book Same Day: You can visit Candidmen stores in Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bangalore to trial and take the suit the same time. We also cater to customers who want suits on an immediate basis.

5. Accessorizing Your Suit

Accessories will elevate your look:

• Tie or Bowtie: Choose based on the event. Solid colors and subtle patterns both work well.
• Pocket Square: Adds a touch of elegance and can be matched to your tie or shirt also.
• Cufflinks: A must-have for tuxedo shirts. Candidmen gives cufflinks along with the purchase of a white tuxedo shirt.
• Shoes and Belt: Ensure they are polished and match the color of your suit. To look taller, you should wear same color belt as suit or no belt at all.

6. Maintenance and Care of Suit -

While the suit is in your possession:

• FitCheck: As soon as you get the product in hand, it's a good practice to trial it once to make sure all fitting is correct. This way, there are no last-minute hiccups. If there is any issue, you will get to know, and Candidmen will also have time to help and resolve it.
• Proper Storage: Hang the suit on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape.
• Ironing Tips: Candidmen provides ironed suits, but if you get creases during travel, place a thin bedsheet or napkin over the crease area and then iron it. Do not touch the iron directly to the suit to avoid damage.

8. Returning the Suit

After the event:

• Inspect: Check for any damages or stains. Also, check your pockets to ensure you have not left any cash or valuables in them.
• Clean: Candidmen takes care of the dry cleaning, so no need to worry about cleaning the suit before returning it.
• Return On Time: Ensure the suit is returned by the agreed date to avoid late fees.
• Transport Tips: When coming to the showroom on a two-wheeler, do not keep the suit near the silencer to avoid damage.

Renting a suit can be a hassle-free way to look dapper for any occasion. By following these tips and working with a reputable rental service like Candidmen, you can ensure a smooth and stylish experience.
