How Far In Advance Should I Get My Tuxedo or Suit?

If you’re looking at a suit or tuxedo, chances are you have a fancy event on the horizon. Tuxedos are important for special occasions like proms, weddings, and other formal events.

As a general rule, it's best to order your tux about two months in advance. Generation Tux recommends grooms and groomsmen get their suits or tuxedos two months before their wedding or special event. However, you can still secure your rental just three weeks before the big day or event.

If you are attending a wedding, make sure to take advantage of our free Home Try-On program. You get 3 days with your wedding tuxedo to try it on and make sure you like the fit and feel. This also allows you to suit up privately (or with your partner) rather than with a stranger in a store.
