By KCT Style Team

The math most guys do not do: a typical prom tuxedo rental costs $150-$250. A complete KCT prom package — jacket, pants, shirt, tie, and pocket square — starts at $199. Same price, but one you keep forever.

The Bottom Line

At $199 for a complete package vs $150-$250 for a rental you return, buying is the obvious choice. Better selection, better quality, and a suit you can wear for years.
